maybe it's the kind of humor where if you just keep repeating 'grape salad' enough times it will become funny in a way you never imagined possible

My mother makes a shrimp and egg-salad 'salad' with spring onions and grapes in it. It's VERY Minnesota, but it is not the named salad.

There's also a tuna variant, for those of you who haven't thought about throwing up already.
My mother would rip the nuts off any man who suggested she was from *spits* Edina.

My mom's summer picnic go-to is a tuna salad with shell pasta, cheddar cheese, some salad vegetables, and halved grapes. It's seriously not bad at all.

If it helps, for New Jersey they had something called "crepes-style manicotti" which I think maybe they saw on The Sopranos or something.

Did other states raise as much a stink? Didn't bother to see what other presumptions had been made. Honestly, tho, I think if you served grape salad in some church basement, no one would bat an eye in MN.

I haven't lived in MN since 1990 and I don't think a single day elapses without the menards jingle playing in my brain.

best wikipedia paragraph of all time:
"Menards commercials are accompanied with banjo music played by Gary Shaw of Wisconsin.[8] In reference to creating the musical piece, Shaw said, "I just started playing on it and they said, 'That's perfect; that's exactly what we need.' Took me a half an hour. I got $50 for a one-time fee, and I've had to listen to that commercial every day for 20 years." Spanish commercials are accompanied with a mariachi mix of the banjo accompaniment."
