Grapegate

[pen_grunt]

I find it super-funny that Minnesotans are getting really upset (mostly facetiously or mildly) about the New York Times declaring grape salad to be our "traditional" state-representing Thanksgiving food. Most people haven't heard of this grape salad--and if they have, it's certainly not a Thanksgiving thing. But it's all ridiculous, really.

(FWIW: They gave wild rice to WISCONSIN, so WTF?)

Oh, Minnesota. We get indignant about the *important* things.

We'll be known for #grapegate and #pointergate.

OR BOTH:


ESCANDALO!

I'm surprised you know so little about your culture.

I know. I've only been here all my life.

Uh oh shit just got real

Seriously though, wtf with grape salad? If we were going to be known for salad it would obviously be marshmallow salad.

OR some jello monstrosity with inexplicable carrots/celery. It wouldn't be GOOD, but at least Minnesotans would be like, "Yeah, I'm familiar..."
