When I lived in upstate NY there was fried cheese curds.

Where did you find these? I haven't seen a fried cheese curd since I moved here from Wisconsin..... I make due with mozzarella sticks, but they just aren't the same as the tangy, gooey little bits of squeaky cheese fresh from the frier.

Mmm fried foods always make me think of the state fair. Pound corn dogs, fried twinkies, snickers, ice cream, cheese balls... I think just about anything can be fried and it turns out good.

On a side note, Maid Rite makes pretty good cheese balls, at least the last one I went to did.

Indeed, I'm a South Dakota girl. Nothing - I mean nothing - is better than State Fair Food.

So - living "out east" has taught me that very few people know what a "fried cheese curd" or a "cheese ball" is. I find this fact very, very sad as cheese balls happen to be like my FAVORITE food of all time.

Just wondering how many of you have experienced the pure delight that is a cheddar cheese ball that has been battered and fried?

I live in the south where we deep fry pickles, twinkies and Snickers bars. Simply put, a fried cheese curd is a little bite o'heaven.

Ah, fried cheese. Not much like it in the world for high fat but wonderful taste. I'm constantly amazed at how many people have never experienced them if they aren't originally from the upper midwest. But then, I'm from Wisconsin and fried cheese is plentiful around here as bar food and appetizer.
It's interesting to see just how regional food can be. I have relatives in the DC area who, for years, would take back several pounds of frozen brats after visiting Wisconsin because they were difficult to find near their homes. Of course, now that we have the internet, my relatives can order Johnsonville brats off the web, so it is a lot easier. I personally can't imagine a Labor Day, Memorial Day, or July 4th without having grilled brats and a few bottles of beer.

We always got them from a small corner store in Boonville, quite a ways from Albany. My only advice to you is to get out of the city and check some of the country stores. Up state NY is a major dairy producing area, once you get out of the cities its all cows and fields.

Many A&W restaurants also have cheese curds on their menus. In fact, if you go to their website right now, they have an on-line cheese curd coupon good until the end of the month.

I've never been into an A&W, nad I've never had fried cheese curds. But now I have a coupon, and I'm going to hit the A&W here in town on the way home after work and try both of them.

Oh. Just moved to small Missouri Town. Got an A&W stand 100' from my house. I was wondering what the great big banner declaring CHeese Curds was. Might eat there tomorrow.
