the hotdish we are discussing is not something I ever heard of in
Wisconsin. When we referred to a hot dish, we meant there was a
preparation of food that was heated. Could be all vegetables, or mac
and cheese, stew, chili mac, anything that was probably heated in a
casserole type dish. At least that is how it was around me. I needed
Barb Schaller to explain to me what hotdish was. -- that and 'dead
spread.' It always seemed to me that Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska
were similar in culture.
