In a rare diplay of bipartisanship, members of the Minnesota congressional delegation came together Wednesday in the spirit of friendly competition (and knowing that not showing up would be noticed and talked about, which may be the far greater motivation for a Midwesterner) for Sen. Al Franken’s fourth annual hotdish cook-off. The press release says Franken “started the friendly ‘Hotdish Off’ as a way to bring the delegation together and celebrate a Minnesota culinary tradition,” although we can’t altogether discount the possibility that it is actually a method of gathering intelligence for his lizard-people overlords. Did they explain what this “Hotdish” is? They did not.
The big winner, for the second year in a row, was Rep. Tim Walz with his “Turkey Trot Tater Tot Hotdish,” with Sen. Amy Klobuchar’s “‘It’s So Cold My Hotdish Froze’ Dessert Hotdish” and Rep. John Kline’s “Morning ‘Hot Chow’ Hotdish” tied for second. Franken’s website has photos of the event and copies of all the participants’ recipes, for any of you wishing to add a touch of authenticity to your big St. Olaf’s Day party.
