Gopher State grub on tap
MINNEAPOLIS - Ohio delegates will travel to the posh Minikahda Club on scenic Lake Calhoun Monday afternoon for a reception honoring the state’s Republican members of Congress.
There, according to literature distributed to delegates, they will “enjoy an ice sculpture that incorporates both the state of Minnesota and the state of Ohio together” if you can imagine that.
They will dine on “a wonderful selection of passed hors d’oeuvres, wine, ‘bootlegs’ and Arnie Palmers.” Not to overlook the Wild Rice Salad with Pheasant Nuggets, Corn Pancakes with Crab Salad and Shrimp Corn Dogs.
If that doesn’t sate the delegates’ appetites, there also will be mini turkey burgers, walleye fingers, sweet potato fries, cheese curds, pickled vegetable slaw and other epicurean delights from the Gopher State (no, gopher is not on the menu).
Ironically, earlier Monday, the soon-to-be-stuffed delegation heard from a physician representing the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease. His message: 30 percent of increased health care costs can be traced directly back to the obesity epidemic.
