Thank you to everyone who participated yesterday in my cheese curd poll. By a surprising 2:1 margin, it would seem that Wisconsinites prefer fried over fresh, which I would have believed the opposite. You can find fried curds in many parts of America, but fresh are pretty much only found in Wisconsin.
I did find some fresh curds at Tillamook Creamery, and they were actually super good. However, people were also freaking out about seeing fresh curds for the first time.
