What a bunch of happy West Coasters, though.; २/२/१५, ५:२८ PM
Michael The Magnificent म्हणाले...: Ugh, herring is disgusting.

No bratwurst?
No beer battered lake perch?
No braunschweiger?
No cannibal sandwiches?
No potato pancakes?; २/२/१५, ५:३० PM
kjbe म्हणाले...: MTM, all excellent questions, but ya gotta keep the herring. Love the herring!; २/२/१५, ६:४४ PM
rehajm म्हणाले...: Couldnt wafch without sitting thru that whole Nissan commercial.

Did they try some of that tasty walleye?; २/२/१५, ७:२२ PM
iowan2 म्हणाले...: MtM has made me very hungry; २/२/१५, ७:४२ PM
iowan2 म्हणाले...: I just text my wife to add braunschwieger to her list of groceries.

Just got a quarter beef, Took the tongue, passed on the liver and heart. Liver is the only part of the cow I cant stomach. No idea why, Love the smell of fresh (Still warm from body heat)liver and onions, just cant force it down.; २/२/१५, ७:४७ PM
Bob R म्हणाले...: I like people from Wisconsin better than people from California.

I grew up in NJ and love pickled herring - which I associate with Jewish deli foods. Don't remember seeing herring rollups in Madison. What are they stuffed with? Are they really a Wisconsin thing?

In my experience, if you go to bars where they actually sell Brandy Old Fashioneds made with Ernest and Julio's finest, it doesn't come with a fruit salad.; २/२/१५, ८:१६ PM
Original Mike म्हणाले...: I've eaten herring in many forms, both in Wisconsin and Norway. I have never seen a herring rollup.; २/२/१५, ८:३२ PM
Roost on the Moon म्हणाले...: I agree with Mike. Pickled herring, creamed herring, on crackers, thumbs up. But I've never even seen those rollup things.

Cheerio, mates.; २/२/१५, ८:३८ PM
mrams म्हणाले...: another vote for pickled herring. I've never seen whatever that was. Frozen custard would've been a good substitute, or the aforementioned braunschweiger, which I'm pleased to see is getting rediscovered thanks to the proliferation of new meat shops.; २/२/१५, ९:०० PM

No it's not.Pickled or in cream sauce it's delicious.; २/२/१५, ९:०७ PM
Gahrie म्हणाले...: You guys realize that historically people only ate pickled herring because it could be preserved. No one ate it if they had a choice.; २/२/१५, ९:१८ PM
Capt. Schmoe म्हणाले...: Why can't you buy cheese curds anywhere but Wisconsin and Utah?; २/२/१५, ९:५१ PM
Chance म्हणाले...: I wonder by what metric those people are Californians? Also, what degree of Californian would we even really expect to matter? Like maybe if your parents were born in California and you've never traveled outside the state?; २/२/१५, ११:३१ PM
SteveBrooklineMA म्हणाले...: How about raw beef with onions? And where's the popcorn for the beer cheese soup?; २/२/१५, ११:४० PM
Michael The Magnificent म्हणाले...: Custard! How could I forget custard?!?!; २/२/१५, ११:५२ PM

Or in wine sauce. Or in mustard sauce. All of them better with ice cold vodka.; ३/२/१५, १२:०८ AM
Hammond X. Gritzkofe म्हणाले...: OMG! The taste of pickled herring or warm raw beef strips dredged in onion!

Like the taste and texture of well washed and gently mellowed yessup.; ३/२/१५, ५:४४ AM
Curious George म्हणाले...: I'm not native, but I've lived here over 20 years, we had a place up north for 40, and I have never heard of a herring rollmop. I've never had or been offered cheddar beer soup. Can't remember seeing it on a menu. And while a old-fashioned made with brandy may have been invented here, it certainly isn't a common drink.

As mentioned, a fish fry would be very Wisconsin. Raw beef too. Curds yep. Raw beef; ३/२/१५, ८:०२ AM
Loren म्हणाले...: You guys realize that historically people only ate pickled herring because it could be preserved. No one ate it if they had a choice. Now you are talking about lutefisk! Pickled herring is good.; ३/२/१५, १०:२८ AM
paminwi म्हणाले...: SteveBrooklineMA: the raw beef with onion has to be on rye bread, doesn't it?

Do they have ring bologna elsewhere?; ३/२/१५, २:४२ PM
mikesixes म्हणाले...: I grew up in wisco and lived there until I was 24 and I never even heard of those disgusting herring things. What about brats? If there's any food that I associate with Wisconsin, it's brats (yum).; ३/२/१५, ५:४२ PM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Rollmops, pickle wrapped in herring, are quite popular. So is herring in aspic.
My MIL (Schwiegermutter)used to make a beet and herring salad at Christmas time...That was the stuff from which dreams were made.; ४/२/१५, १०:१८ AM
अनामित म्हणाले...: Opps, I left out the 'in Germany' part. Rollmops are popular in Germany.; ४/२/१५, १०:१९ AM
