Would you rather have squeaky fresh Wisconsin cheese curds or sweet Wisconsin-grown cranberry sauce?

No. 61 Brett Goode – Squeaky fresh cheese curds.

Yellow or white, fried or fresh, seasoned or plain, cheese curds are always a tasty treat. Wisconsin Cheese curds are usually made from fresh cheddar, mozzarella, or Colby, and yes, they really do squeak when you eat them! Freshness is fleeting, so it’s best to buy your curds straight from the factory, or somewhere nearby. If tart and tangy is more your taste, you’re in luck! Wisconsin is the nation’s largest producer of the cranberry, and that means there are plenty of cranberries to go around. Make sure you check out the Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center where not only can you learn about the history of the cranberry, but you can sample delectable cranberry treats at the test kitchen or ice cream parlor.
