Fans of the Minnesota-set movie Fargo will love this uproarious culture guide to all-things Minnesotan. With his dry wit and distinctive voice, Howard Mohr won millions of fans across the country on Garrison Keillor’s radio show A Prairie Home Companion. His popular commercials and ad spots, including one for “Minnesota Language Systems,” became the best of the best of Minnesota humor. Now, Mohr has updated his classic guide, How to Talk Minnesotan, to advise visitors on the use of Twitter and Facebook, cell phone etiquette, and more while in the Land of 10,000 Lakes. I bought this book shortly before I left for my first year of college in Waconia, Minnesota. I had only been to Minnesota a couple of times before, but this was to be my first time actually living there (coming from Colorado). The book was great, and I was amazed that while I was living there, how much of this book was actually true! It’s still a fun read several years later. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

The section on food is especially valuable, allowing you to tell the difference between lunch and a little lunch, dinner and supper. Recipes for hot dish and salad are given. And he warns of never mistaking the jello salad for a dessert. Then there's a whole chapter devoted to lutefisk. If the 26 lessons aren't enough, there are ads extolling Minnesota businesses like Bob Humde and Raw Bits cereal.
Be prepared to laugh and learn about how to behave in Minnesota! ( )
