Never served in my Norwegian, Dutch/Belgian, Swiss-German, Middle Tennessee, NE Quaker or other ancestor-ed families. Never seen in a magazine or mentioned by a neighbor or friend, ethnic or not so it might be THAT families tradition but not Minnesotans.

The closest I had was grapes in Miracle whip with a little sugar or grapes in jello with whipped topping and I would not recommend those either or say they were common.
