These are rarely seen in local restaurants, though, although one in West Duluth specializes in a "world cuisine" concept with Canadian (poutine), Chinese, Thai, Italian (penne with "world" meatball), and even German cuisine. They are here: http://www.facebook.com/PaksGreenCorner?ref=stream (and no, I don't receive any money or food in exchange for posting this, nor do I work there)
Good list, but there's plenty more for MN as a whole:
Juicy Lucy, Banh Mi, and Hot D.a.go sandwiches
Iowa Pork Chops/Sandwiches, which hypothetically originate in Iowa, but are popular on menus in MN.
Pearsons (Nut Goodies and Nut Rolls)
Boo-yah
Chicken Wild Rice Soup
Chicken (or Turkey) Wild Rice hotdish
Pasties
Schells, Summit, Grain Belt, and Hamms beers
Stollen (German Christmas bread)
Krumkake and rosettes
Fried pickles, walley, and cheese curds (also popular throughout Wisconsin...)
...there are probably more that I'm not thinking of...
ps. sorry, mods, for sneaking d.a.go by you....I don't hate Italians, that's just what the sandwich is actually called!
