Celebrate!
If you need a reason to be happy and celebrate today, it's National Cheese Curd Day!
HOORAY! Hey, I live in Wisconsin, what can I say? |
Thanks, I thinkhttps://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png..........but what exactly are cheese curds? (I also had to have grits explained to me)
|
Go Packers! Another reason to celebrate!

I love cheese curds. Cheese curds are when the cheese forms curds and instead of pressing them in blocks ( removes moisture) , they are left unpressed. They have more moisture then block cheese and are a little chewier and sometimes squeak as you chew them.

Fewer and fewer independent cheese producers in Canada now. Big companies can make more money on brick cheeses. No cheese curds for me today.☹️
|
Can’t have poutine without cheese curds. Too many carbs for me these days but poutine used to be a favourite treat.
|
Cheese curds are not for me. I am not a big cheese eater. But any way celebrating any day is a good day.

Living across from Wisconsin...we would frequently do a road trip and a lot of times, cheese curds was on the menu...we would stop and pick up a fresh package and happily munch on them as we continued our adventure...those and smoked white fish freshly caught and smoked!

Did someone say Cheesehead?! Cheese curds are a Wisconsin staple, whether one eats them fresh or breaded and deep fried, we enjoy them served either way. Big game on Sunday the Packers and da Bears, go Pack!!!

I was introduced to fried cheese curds this past summer when I visited my son in Alabama. I'll take cheese curds any way I can get 'em - fried, plain, or in poutine are great!

That was my memory of cheese curds, squeaking!. Fun food. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/wink.png I like the regular ones best but I know others like the deep fried ones. But, take care, both are like the old potato chip commercial, "You can't east just one!" https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png |

Hello fellow Cheesehead! I'm in the Milwaukee area.

I love cheese curds, especially fried! :D Culvers restaurants served a Curdburger on cheese curd day which was a giant fried cheese curd on a burger---which would be amazing! They sold out by like 11 am locally.

I love cheese curds! Fried sounds awesome. Grits, you can keep those, lol.
