...I don't know if I have words for how jealous I am right now. I get pretty geeked out about driving into Wisconsin, so... yeah. I hope you enjoy your visit and get some tasty cheese!
I prefer Edam over Gouda. A somewhat derogatory term for Dutch people is kaaskop, or cheesehead, and according to Wiki that's also the case for Wisconsians! I also really love mozzarella. Good thing Italy is nearby. My only problem is that I sadly can't stomach a lot of cheese...I haven't gotten a proper test yet but I'm pretty confident I'm a bit lactose intolerant. :(
Hmm... I wonder if Wisconsin has a large amount of families who immigrated from your part of the world because it felt like home? I know lots of people who came from Norway and nearby areas ended up in the Dakotas. rd95 - your thoughts? Boo on the lactose intolerance, cheese is magical. Do you have something like lactaid there?
