Your trip sounded fun - I will have to look at the pictures! What exactly are cheese curds? And the lefse???

From my visits to Wisconsin..cheese curds are the "by products" of cheese that is made. You can get yellow or white curds and they're s bit squeeky and are an acquired taste. Lefse is a Norwegian delicacy that Grandmother made. You first have to have potatoes (I think) and cook them. somehow you roll these into a a very flat breadlike piece. I think you have to have an iron or something. Can you tell I never got to help make them? When you eat them you first spread butter on them then sprinkle it with sugar and roll up like a tortilla (they taste somewhat like a tortilla even) and eat. Personally I don't care for these but some people love them. You have to live in the MidWest to get the benefits of these delicasies I think.

Natalie and Sunny if you do a "Google" search re: both cheese curds and lefse all you wanted (or didn't) want to know will be explained. Sunny you were pretty close to explaining both however. The cheese curds Amy was speaking of were deep fried...m-m-m good. But not exactly South Beach!! :-)

Actually, I spoke of both kinds of cheese curds. The first kind was the kind that was deep fried and sold at the Syttende Mai festival (And the MN state fair later this summer, yum!) The second kind is the non-deep fried kind. And sunny was correct in her description of them. So squeeky!
