Minnesota Funeral Bread

Minnesota's own MinnesotaStan introduces us to "funeral bread" -- a social gathering food from Minnesota and North Dakota. The Star Tribune says that it consists of cinnamon bread coated with a layer of Cheez Whiz and topped with sliced green olives. Some variants use rye or pumpernickel, but these are corruptions of the tradition which is centered around the small town of Roseau close to the Canadian border.

The dish is commonly served at communal gatherings after church or at funerals, hence the name.
