Head to the SBS Fargo website, here, to watch the latest episodes, learn “Minnie sooowt’n” speak and find out everything you need to know about season two.
It seems the Minnesotan mobsters don’t mind monkey bread. Understandable really, considering the sweet cinnamon cake is designed to be pulled apart, one syrupy chunk at a time.

Got the late-night munchies? Do not leave the house! Quell your waffle cravings with a homemade alternative, like Matthew Evans’s proper yeast-risen ones. The batter gets better when rested overnight, but if it’s a matter of life and death, an hour will definitely do.

As butcher Ed Blomquist would attest, it’s tricky making mincemeat of a “problem” when a customer comes knocking at your door. Lucky Lou Solverson just wanted bacon, not some other kind of beef. If you’d like to think of the cured meat in a sweeter situation, try these candied bacon bits from the aptly titled cookbook, Pure Pork Awesomeness.

If Fargo’s taught us anything, it’s that freezer chests are very handy for storing large quantities of meat. Thaw out some pork chops to go with jerk-spiced rub and, ahem, fingers of sweet potato.

The cops in Minnesota sure have a lot on their plate. With hit-and-runs, diner disasters and crime syndicates abound, the po-po probably need a coffee and doughnut break now and then. Bright idea: sandwich the two together for caffeine-ice-cream hit in the palm of your hand.

Dontcha think it’s interesting that croquette and “croak-it” almost sound the same? Perhaps that’s why Minnesotans, like Peggy Blomquistof, prefer the fluffy term “tater tots” to describe the fried balls. In the Netherlands, croquettes are filled with almost anything (no gory thoughts!), but we particularly like this potato, cavolo nero and prosciutto combo.
So the whole blood-spilling-in-a-vanilla-milkshake incident was kind of off-putting. Thankfully our thirst for banoffee beverages wasn’t affected at all! Swap for ‘pop’ next time you're serving “soft” drinks at home.
