sorry, there are 3 generations living here that speak little to no english, from my experience is that only if their parents were born in st paul, they speak english, of course this is not a scientific study, just observation. Being a “young” single white guy in their neighborhood, i am always the beneficiary of their culinary delights!
No doubt, love the food from that region. My son dated a Hmong girl once, very possesive actually to the extreme. Kinda funny to me but he did not think so!
