The line in the sand between far northern American cuisine, and far Southern American cuisine:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutefisk

The government offered free land to settlers in what is now the Bounday Waters Wilderness area, in northern MN. If you have ever been there, you understand something the government clearly did not, it is not farm country.
The Fins and the Swedes understood how to shoot moose, and chop a hole in the ice to fish.
Everyone else who went, died a miserable death in the winter.
Then, the policy of free land, in that part of Minnesota,for settlers, ended.

I like lutefisk. Moose, too.

Best,
