Found this fun article about “Minnesota Sushi” at the Star Tribune. It was a guaranteed staple at every Lutheran potluck I’ve ever been to, and almost every family gathering – though my family called it “pickle roll ups”.
Thought you all would enjoy the article and recipes! Totally going to try some of these this weekend.
Awww yeah, Lutheran Sushi/Pickle rolls
Yes, pickle rolls are a classic potluck food!
Neat. In Michigan, I usually see them called ham roll-ups and they have chives instead of pickles.
Not anything to do with Lutherans though.
I’ve had it with chives as well, it’s very good, although here it’s because it’s in the cream cheese. Is that the same there or are you adding fresh chopped chives?
You put the chives in the place where the pickle would be. They’re separate from the cream cheese. They get chopped when you slice them into pinwheels, same as the pickles.
I’d actually never heard of anyone making these with pickles until well after college, and while they’re alright, I’m not really a fan, despite really liking pickles generally. They’re kind of soggy when you use pickles.
That’s amazing. I’m the same, but the opposite. Never seen them made with chives. It’s always pickles around here! Sounds really good.
I prefer them with Hormel dried beef.
Don’t know if I’ve tried that. My family likes to use pastrami sometimes just to throw a curveball and be kinda fancy, but that’s rare. Normally it’s just ham.
