Growing up we had white cheddar cheese curds from
the Kalona, Iowa,
cheese factory in Amish country. Our
parents taught us that the freshest cheese curds squeak when you bite into
them. And the field trips to the cheese
factory in grade school taught me that cheese making is kinda gross to look at
but definitely delicious. Mark
Chitwood’s recent blog post reminded me of my innate love of cheese curds.
While in WI this fall I
went to the Vernon County Fair. This fair has been going strong for 150 years.
Though, this was my first time.
I love county fairs. The people are amazing. There are barn animals everywhere. Fried food. Need I say more.
The Westby Dairy is by far my favorite place to buy cheese curd in the world. Every time I am in SW Wisconsin I go to this dairy.
Well they had the curd mobile at the fair. I kid you not - there was always a line. Always. All they have there is Curd or Fried Curd and shakes. YUM YUM. If you love cheese - and I know you do - find your way to Westby, WI and go the this dairy. You cannot miss it - right on the main drag.

I don't think I've ever had a cheese curd, fried or otherwise.
