The fare of North Dakota has long been influenced by German, Russian,
and Scandinavian cuisine, as people from these countries were the
most saturated immigrant groups to arrive during the state's
settlement. Dishes like Knoepfla soup and lefses can
be found in North Dakota's restaurants alongside more common American
cuisine.
