THE YOOPER CREATION STORY

In da beginning der was knotting. Den on da firss day God created da U.P. On da second day He created da partridge, da deer, da bear, da fish and da ducks. On da tird day He said let dare be YOOPERS to roam da U.P. On da fort day He created da utter world down below, and on da fiff day He said, let dare be TROLLS to live in da world down below. On da six day He made da BIG MAC so da TROLLS would have a way to get to Heaven. God saw it was good and on da seventt day He went snowmobiling

You betcha, by golly, eh dere now!

Boy yoopers sound like misplaced snow Cajuns

your not actually that far off

but rather than Acadians you have a bunch of displaced groups of people who melded together with a lot of Finn and Norwegian in an area isolated by water and cold.

there is a real Cornish influence bringing in da pasty

unlike cajun food the lack of spice sets the tone

rather than trinity and spice it is roots and salt and pepper also understand that cod, ling, whitefish livers were basically a necessity of life to live that far north until modern vitamin D enriched foods.

I saw something recently that covered how bad goiters were in that region and birth defects, from not enough iodine.
