The Badger State Strikes Again

Posted by BS on May 26 2010 in Cheese, Eggs, Fried Food, Only in America

Back in college, I had the distinct pleasure of spending four years of my life in Wisconsin, a place so American it makes the rest of America look like a Soviet gulag. Nowhere is this more evident than in Wisconsin’s grand culinary traditions, which have only three basic rules:

1) It must be fried

2) It must contain cheese

3) It must contain beer

While these rules have resulted in some questionable practices (cheese-filled beer brats – no thanks), every once in a while they coalesce into a new gastronomic invention so perfect that attention must be paid.

An old college friend recently posted the above photo on facebook and I nearly screamed out loud.

A deviled egg, dipped in cheese-y beer batter and deep fried. As she writes, “this should be on the Wisconsin stage flag.” Amen. Wrap that baby in bacon and it’ll be the new stars and stripes.

    @ erica – it’s OK, admittedly the use of cheese could have been more forceful here. Maybe some velveeta injected into the center of the yolk?

    Cool, my son was just talking about seeing this on the Neely’s Food Network show and he’s dying to try them!
