There are a lot of stereotypes about the state of Wisconsin: We’re all farmers, everyone’s drunk all the time, and we eat cheese with every meal. While some of these things may be true (i.e. beer-battered cheese curds), the dairy state produces some of the most unique and delicious flavors in the Midwest. Don’t be shy and head up north to see all that Wisconsin has to offer.
1. Cheese curds
Just when you thought that cheese couldn’t get any better, Wisco went and deep fried it. Spice it up with jalapeño cheddar or cool it down with ranch dressing. Regular curds are another option, but you want them extra squeaky when you bite into them so you know they’re fresh. Either way, they’re the perfect snack while you watch the Packers beat the Bears.
2. Bloody Marys
In Wisconsin, a Bloody Mary isn’t just a drink: it’s a meal. If there aren’t at least six toppings on that thing then you’re doin’ it bloody wrong. Common toppers include cheese cubes, bacon, celery, shrimp, summer sausage, and pickled vegetables such as olives, asparagus, beets, and Brussels sprouts. But that’s just the beginning. Add mini sliders, onion rings, hot dogs, and even a full chicken or pizza on top. Don’t forget your beer chaser!

What about fish boils? Aren’t those kind of Wisconsin traditions?
Especially those eelpout fries!
Usinger’s Summer Sausage, made in Milwaukee is absolutely amazing.

No brats?

Wisconsin ran out of bratty kids to roast, so its off the list. Meanwhile, most are enjoying brots on the grill.

Fish boils, once contracted, can be painful, but thankfully Badger care covers the affliction.
Curds and Brauts definitely are stables… grandfather born and raised abs lived most of his life in the town he was born in… spent countless hours in the state.
Never heard of a Kringle, grandfather nor anyone in his orbit ever mentioned them when I was around. Hanging out at the various clubs and bars listening to him and his friends swap stories and insults since I was old enough to climb up on a bar stool.
He’s been gone for 6 years now….
Miss that old man.
Hard pass on Spotted Cow- Owners are hardcore lefties and contribute massively
FIB here whose spent a lot of time in Wisconsin. Part of the charm is that many cities and towns have Old World roots...New Glarus-Swiss, Viroqua-Norwegian, Milwaukee-German (well, it used to be), etc. Superb Euro/Wisconsin food widely available. It’s a great state to set up a cardiology practice!
Tain’t Wisconsin without the Limburger cheese and onion sandwiches on rye bread.
You don’t eat with your nose.
eating without yer nose stinks.
