Isn't that something to eat around Christmas time?
What is wrong with that guy? Doesn't he know that?
Them's good eatin'. Order now, through a portal near you!
Those look pretty ultra-processed to me.
And Tony looks like he needs to chow down on a couple.
Evers is an old looking 74. He should lift some weights. Chicken legs and coat hanger shoulders. He couldn’t press those kringles five times.
Kringles are not just for around Christmas. Uncle Mike’s cherry ones are great this time of year. In fact, they have a seasonal red, white and blue one right now. Tart cherry, blueberry, cream cheese.
I asked Grok: "Why is this in the summer? That looks like something to eat at Christmastime."
Grok thought for 2 seconds and said: "Wisconsin Kringle Day falls on June 30 because that's the anniversary of the date in 2013 when the state legislature officially named Kringle Wisconsin's state pastry."
That is so dumb.
t'ree? Is that how we're spelling three now?
Wish I could eat those, but just looking at them makes my blood glucose level rise.
Yum!
Kringle are available at my local Trader Joe's here in Las Vegas. I had to explain to people what they were. Racine to the turn of the crime!
Kringle Day detracts from Pride Month
It looks delicious. Who’s the old, turkey-necked gobbler?
EAB? You have just kicked the nuts of my taste buds, as I live a good many miles from the Land o’ Cheese.
I miss Kringle from Lanes.
I’ll respectfully decline…
"Made by painstakingly folding butter into yeast dough dozens of times (a process called lamination), "
So it's made of plastic?
Wow. Kringle is a Kenosha delicious treasure Wisconsinite's love. A common office treat. Tony Evers let Kenosha burn purposefully in 2020. What a shallow asshole. You can find plenty of "men" like him in the education profession.

Kringle is all year in Wisconsin. Like fish fry, and bratwurst. First time I realized you're not a "real" Wisconsinite. Transplant who landed in Madison and stayed for the University benefits.
Is today's theme about lack of assimilation?
…I think she was Groking what Nebraska asked…
My mom - who was born in Wisconsin, used to make kuchen.
(pronounced koo-kin)
Never heard of that stuff.

Ok. Apologies to Althouse. Still... Evers let Kenosha burn. And Madison applauded.
I’ve tried it. Overrated big time.
Milwaukee-born, I regularly make low-cal Apfelkuchen for my breakfast. Grandma made it better.
Wisconsin's adult obesity rate is 37.4%, placing it among the highest in the country. By comparison, the overall United States average hovers near 32% to 34%.
Not as bad I thought given all the Kringle eating and beer. Kringles are good but I'd save them for Christmas.
The "Beer Belt": National health data shows that 41 of the 50 heaviest-drinking counties in the entire U.S. are located within Wisconsin.
And yet..Wisconsin residents have a slightly longer life expectancy than the U.S. average. Statewide, the average lifespan in Wisconsin is about 79 years. The national average for the United States hovers around 77 to 78.5 years
I was hoping someone would have Cheesecake as their official state dessert but no one does. Delaware has "peach pie". Texas has "Pecan Pie". South Dakota has something called Kuchen. Vermont has "apple Pie".
But most states are on a diet, and have no official dessert.
Dude looks enough like me to be a brother. Heh.
But are the almonds locally grown?
Evers has an Col. Sanders or Orville Redenbacher look. Maybe he ought to give up politics and open a chain of kringle shops.
Evers standing next to neighboring governor Pritzker - a misshapen "10"?
Iman…Uncle Mike’s ships. Although maybe not recommended in this heat. My brother in law loves the ones from Trader Joe’s. Uncle Mike’s are thicker and shaped like a pretzel. I’ve carried them on planes…
Why's life expectancy after 76 many more years ~~ 12+
Wisconsin consistently ranks among the worst states nationwide for its racial and socioeconomic academic achievement gaps. The man in the picture was the Wisconsin Superintendent of Education before he became governor. The sooner he does the sooner black children can receive a quality education.
The sooner he dies …
In other states, people don't stop eating laminated dough pastries in the summer. Every day is a good day for raspberry jam with mascarpone cheese pastry. But we also don't glop them with sugar icing, and they're small. That looks awful. In Atlanta, I had the night-kitchen pleasure of watching the elderly baker, who got in when I did, as he made layers of the stuff, 9' by 6' translucent sheets rippling across the table. It was silent, magical, nearly religious. I brought him coffee. We didn't have to talk. If you're ever here, don't miss Alon's. Semolina bread, lamb sandwich, pastry.
Wisconsin Kringle Day, followed by Type 2 Diabetes Day.
“The Sooner he dies …”
Tony Evers died about 10 years. Democrats just drag him out and prop his corpse up every now and then for photo oops.
Bad pastry. Shitty tradition.
I grew up in Fond du Lac and never heard of Kringle Day. . . .
Isn't there something better you could be doing, Governor? BTW All the states that have had a majority of Scandinavian immigrants claim Kringle as their national dessert.
Yeah, sure, Mike. Everybody would prefer a nice almond croissant or a nice napoleon but in the upper midwest this is what you get.
You can get a Kringle at almost any supermarket, but have you tried to get a real baguette? Good luck.
Evers makes me cringe.
I wish you had a "Like" button just for this post.
