A lighthearted poll
So I have come to learn lately that cheese curds are not a nation wide item and there are actually people that don't know about this delicacy. So...
This discussion has been closed.
Re: A lighthearted poll
I think most Canadians have to know what they are but I didn't know they had them in the states... this is officially "the thing" I have learned today!
and you haven't really fallen in love with cheese curds yet if you haven't had them on a poutine (the national dish of canada)
And you must eat poutine with a beaver while wearing a touque, drinking maple syrup and playing hockey. EH?
mmm... cheese curds...
*No pony, no I do!*
I haz a planning bio
I have had poutine though! But I don't remember cheese curds...
I know what they are, but I don't like poutine... I'm a bad Canadian I know
I've never ever had cheese curds deep fried, only fresh or on poutine.

Bren, I won't judge your Canadian-ness on disliking poutine if you don't judge mine on my inability to skate? Haha
Side Note: Oh My Gosh - They deep fry curd??? I thought the best thing deep fried from the south was pickles... I may reconsider and plan a road trip immediately

I then recommend going to the MN state fair. There is a plethora of fried foods - more than you can eat in a day - and its happening at the end of the month.
Deep fried cheeseburger sliders
Deep fried fruit on a stick
Chicken Fried Bacon (thick-cut bacon battered and breaded, fried and served in a boat covered with gravy).
Deep fried shortcake.
Deep fried cheesecake.
Deep fried twinkies.
Deep fried candy bars.
Deep fried oreos.
Deep fried green beans.
Deep fried bacon cheddar mashed potatoes on a stick.
Deep fried alligator.
Fried green tomatoes.
I think you get the impression.

O.o
I....I think my heart stopped a little.
Other than that - I mainly have food stuff left to make. That mainly won't be until the last few days. I have the escort cards left, and menus for the dessert table. I guess I don't really have an overwhelming amount of stuff to do.
How about you? Are you done with what you can be done with or are you frantic?

This is what we like to call "The Great Minnesota Get Together."
It has gotten to the point now where everyone tried to come up with the next most bizarre item. This past year it was a peanut better hotdog with bananas and chocolate on top. Also putting foods on a stick is a pretty big deal too.
Kat - That's awesome! I'm glad everything is coming together well for you.
I don't know what they are, but I probably wouldn't/can't eat them anyways.
Kat: Garbage plate = ew (food can't touch for me, if it came on a divided plate, I'd be all over it!)

I can't skate either! So embarrassing... BF swears he's going to teach me sometime. I also hate bacon. I'm such a bad Canadian! You should all just drown me in maple syrup.

[QUOTE]Cheese curds are balls/clumps/pieces of fairly salty cheese that are typically deep fried. You can get the cheese curds prior to deep frying and those are in fact squeeky when you eat them. They are quite delicious, but not in the slightest bit healthy.

Wayy better when not deep fried - I love squeeky cheese. They are only squeeky when they are fresh. When we went on our cheese tour on the HM they werent making any that day :( so I was stuck with non squeeky curds boo!
As for cheese curds - I don't think I can get over the squeaky part..I think I would freak out lol.
