So some folks wanted a new silly struggle session that can demonstrate for all new arrivals and visitors the sort of silly shit we debate. So I ask you Hexbears: What is the "midwest"? (hexbear.net)

I'm not a Minnesotan

Does everyone else call it 'tater tot casserole'?

[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Yup! As far as I know (and I've lived in almost every Midwestern state), "hotdish" is a Minnesota-only thing. Everywhere else it's just casserole.

My family would do Shepard's and pot pies, but the only hotdish we ate was the infamous tater tot. I was lucky to avoid most of the disgusting crock pot style casserole or hotdish. The strangest I can recall was essentially a cold tuna casserole that we referred to as 'salad' instead.

I love the "salad" that bears no resemblance to a salad aside from the fact that it's a jumble of things and it's served cold. Also I love every casserole. I'm beyond shame
