Mmmmm. Minnesota State Fair cheese curds fresh out of the fryer. I normally get the first batch of the day when I go to the fair. I get up super early and get there at like 5am to be there for "golden hour" photography while the sun is rising. Then wander over to the cheese curd stand about 10 minutes before it opens, grab a coffee, and wait for the most delicious and unhealthy breakfast I'll eat all year. Also, cheese ships just fine and doesn't spoil easily. I think it's more that states outside of the Midwest and East Coast just don't know how to make an appealing cheese curd. I've had cheese curds in other places, hell they were quite popular in the Czech Republic even, but the batter was entirely different from the "good ones" we have here in the midwest that I've had. Now I can't wait for the MN State Fair. :(
I hate you. Now I so badly cheese curds. The MN State Fair is the only place where it is acceptable to have deep fried cheese curds and a coke for breakfast. Oh god so unhealthy. So good.
