    Classic Minnesota. People up there refer to ‘hot dish’ as if it is one thing, even though it’s really any type of casserole, and also act like each individual can only make one kind of ‘hot dish’. Example: “hey have you ever had my grandma’s hot dish?” or “my dad made his hot dish today, hell yeah”. In the latter example, his dad’s Hot Dish was onions and ground beef with a ton of soy sauce, served with chow mein noodles on top.

      I assume Tim Walz’s hot dish is way too spicy for most Minnesotans. I hear he puts three drops of Tabasco in it.

          They’re bought and paid for by the Harris campaign. They don’t want this sort of thing getting out there!

        People in northern Minnesota and Wisconsin believe that onion is too spicy for children. To be fair, they did have some crazy strong winter onions there.

          Onion’s probably my second favorite vegetable today, but I didn’t like them much as a kid. Granted, I’m not much for spicy food, but that’s because of heartburn, not because I don’t like them.

      Think of hot dishes like how the south uses coke to refer to pop. When you get asked if you’ve had someone’s hot dish, they’re either referring to the hot dish sitting in front of you or a secret recipe that stays in the family

      So… It’s like a midwesterner’s version of a party piece in Ireland, just with casserole instead of song?
