7 St. Martin's Day Dishes German and Dutch Families Cooked in the Midwest

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing.

Children carried paper lanterns with a candle inside, sang the Martin songs, and often followed a rider in a red cloak playing the saint who cut his own coat in half for a freezing beggar. German immigrants to Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan brought the day's food with them, and German clubs and schools in the Midwest still hold lantern walks today. The harvest was in, the first hard frost had come and gone, and the supper waiting at home afterward was the last big feast before Advent.
