Wisconsin Food Taste Test 

I'm from the great state of Wisconsin, but I never even heard of "herring rollmops". I'm also kinda disappointed there was no bratwurst

I'm a Wisconsinite and have no clue what that roll is .

I'm from Wisconsin, born and raised. Nearly 32 years. Never once have I heard of a "herring rollmop", seen one on a menu, or witnessed someone eat one. It's definitely not a "favorite food" in Wisconsin. It was still funny to see people eat something so gross.

Cheese curds are the bomb digity, I have no idea why the whole US have never heard of them?!

Every Wisconsin person watching this Now wants cheese curds

CHEESE CURDS ARE FINGER FOODS

How about bratwurst, beef sticks, and venison?

Dear World. While I'm sure there is a Norwegian family somewhere in Wisconsin that eats something called rollmops I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people from Wisconsin have never heard of them. Anyway, I hadn't.

Dude, no one in Wisconsin has apparently heard of your roll mop thing, you didn't even serve a good beer-boiled brat, and no one puts drink umbrellas in their drinks. Otherwise, pretty spot on.

Those were the saddest Cheese curds i've ever seen.

I'm from Wisconsin and I've only heard of two of these things and have actually only had 1... Where's the beer brats, fish fry, lefse, lutefisk, blue moon ice cream (signature!) and to wash it all down, a Spotted Cow.

I'm from Wisconsin and if it's that hard to take your cheese curd apart then there's either something wrong with the cheese or you didn't cook them right. Ellsworth cheese curds are the best

Oh and a few more to add. Cream puffs, beer brats, deep fried butter, Wisconsin Rhubarb Cheesecake,

As a Wisconsinite: Kringle: Awesome Curds: Awesome Herring: Awesome, but I only eat Ma Baensch and have never seen a rollmop before (???) Beer Cheese Soup: Awesome Brandy Old Fashioned: Awesome, but no umbrella

Been living in Wisconsin 29 years, no idea what a herring rollmop is or why someone would eat one. Grab a brat boiled in beer and grilled, loaded with sour kraut. Then you know you're in Wisconsin.

I've lived in wisconsin all of my life and i've never even heard of the herring role up things

I had to skip over the "herring rollmops" part - that was disgusting! (And, I'm from southeastern WI and I've never heard of that. WTH?) LOL the girl thinks kringle is actually a pizza. ;)

if the cheese curd isn't gooey when you're eating it, you're doing it wrong. hehe. Don't give newbies to the food cooled down cheese curds, they're not as good then!

Yeah I live in Milwaukee, WI and never heard of herring rollmops either and I'm very ok with that. Where are the butter burgers?

WISCONSIN ROCKS!!

I'm from Wisconsin and I've only seen the Kringle's and cheese curds

It's called beer cheese soup

Who puts an umbrella in an Old Fashioned?

I've got a related challenge for your Left-Coasters. Tell them the name of a city in Wisconsin, and challenge them to SPELL it. You can start easy (Baraboo, Chippewa Falls, Milwaukee) then throw the fun ones at them. (Sheboygan, Wauwatosa, Kaukauna, Fond du Lac, Eau Claire, Cudahy) Just a thought.

i am from Wisconsin so this is really weird and funny to watch

I'm from Wisconsin and I've never had "herring rollmops".....

i'm a Wisconsinite who loves his Brandy Old Fashions!

I'm from Wisconsin, born and raised, and I've never heard of herring rollmops either. They should have had cream puffs and bloody maries too!

A brandy old fashioned? you mean the way old fashioneds are meant to be #Wisconsin Also cheese curds are way better when they aren't fried. (the rare exception to deep fried = better)

... And Californians wonder why the rest of the country makes fun of them.

I'm a New Orleanian who married a girl from Wisconsin and all I can say is where's the brats and they are lucky they didn't give them ludafisk or fiskabolla;)

should have been regular cheese curds, not fried curds... and just straight pickled herring rather than rollmops. I can see why brats were not included, since everyone loves a brat, but yeah that's about as Wisconsin as it gets... and who the F puts an umbrella in their Old Fashioned!

I'm from Southern Wisconsin! I've eaten plenty of Curds before, they're really good if you fry them just right, otherwise they can be kinda greasy. I've had Kringle before too, it's really good. I've also had the Cheddar Beer Soup. Mine looked a bit thicker; I liked it though. I've never had Herring Rollmops. I assume they must be from closer to Green Bay or something. I haven't had Brandy either, but I don't drink too much.

From Southeast Wisconsin, and I've never heard of the herring rollmops. Should have let them try Spotted Cow. They would want to move here after trying that.

Pickled herring (Ma Baensch!) with hor dourves during the holidays is GREAT. It's an acquired taste and I didn't really like it until I was a teenager, but the real stuff is good! When I googled "Herring rollmops" (because wtf is that anyway), It's actually some european thing and it looks way fishier than the herring i'm used to.

Born and raised in Wisconsin and I've never heard of Kringles or Rollmops. Venison and brats should have been on this!

Born and raised in wi. I've never heard of a herring rollmop, but you couldn't pay me to eat one of those hahaha

The herring things are definitely not eastern Wisconsin. It's probably more of a Minnesota thing.

My grandpa eating pickled herring ALL the time... he literally, take a fork and eats from the jar lmao

Born and raised in wisconsin. The rollomop or whatever is not a state wide food. In fact. Never seen it anyway

I'm from wisconsin, proud cheesehead or wisconsinite, whatever you'd like to call us I will just say I love everything that was on this video!! I def miss brandy old fashions, and hering rolls!! And kringle, and cheese curds, of course beer cheese soup!!! Make another but you have to add cream pies, spotted cow beer, bloody marys, culvers, chocolate covered bacon and infuzinos pizza,

I live in Wisconsin and I've never heard of any of those foods... Accept the cheese curds. That shits good

I am from wisconsin. Ummm Herring rollmop?

Beer Cheese Soups is also a Minnesota thing. Really anything German is from both Minnesota and Wisconsin.

We don't have rollmops in Wisconsin - I was born and raised there and discovered them when I worked in Holland. And could not find they to buy in Wisconsin...

I was born and live in Wisconsin and have only had one of these things, that being the fried cheese curds lol

I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life, and I've only heard of one of these dishes, Beer Cheese Soup. Which is actually a German dish.

I live in Wisconsin and I eat tacos

I love pickled herring!!!!!!

I live in Wisconsin and your telling me aint nobody had fried cheese curds.

I'm from Wisconsin and I've never heard of some of these things

herring roll ups vs Lutefisk ... Minnesota girl I'll stick to my own torchure and eat lutefisk

Wisconsinite here, I've never heard of or seen those disgusting fish things, not sure if its a German or Scandinavian thing. Beer cheese soup really needs to be served with a big bready fresh baked german style pretzel, it's kind of a novelty here, not found many places. Fried cheese curds, you need to beer batter them to make it a WI food, otherwise it's just generic bar food (even beer battered, you would mostly find them as bar food) Brandy old fashioned, I think you all made it wrong, the fruit should be muddled with the bitters and sugar before anything gets mixed in, still an acquired taste, you will mostly find older folks drinking them. On take 2 try fresh caught chinook salmon from lake Michigan, baked on a cedar plank. Fish fry every Friday also a more common WI food tradition. Local grass fed beef or organic dairy sourced from less than 45 min anywhere in the state, also super good. Locally grown organic veggies are a big deal, city folk in WI are all about local food and WI farmers grow some of the most organic crops as a percentage of total acreage. Urban farming is also a big deal in Milwaukee, Growing power started the modern urban farming movement and many local eateries source produce from them. I suppose the reactions wouldn't be as funny if you gave them good food eh? Oh and where the heck were the Brats smothered with kraut?

Hahaha Adam and manny are funny 😂

I've also never heard of "herring rollmops", and I've lived in WI my whole life. Also never heard of "cheddar beer soup"...

I am 53 and grew up in Wisc. What the heck is a herring rollmop?

Obviously the cheese curds were not hot or made well. Also those were weak old fashions. The cherry and orange were not muddled and the sugar wasn't even dissolved, the number one issue is that you used whiskey in it! Wisconsin old fashions are always made with Brandy!

In Holland we have rolmopsen, I'm surprised to see it, with similar spelling :)

Yesssss! You guys did it! Lol

Being a Californian who has lived in the midwest for awhile now. Nothing matches up to New Glarus. Moon Man is the nectar of the gods.

Matt! You're amazing!! Hahhaa

I love herring

No one eats herring that's definitely more Minnesota

I'm from Wisconsin and I've never heard of #3.

I'm not from either the Golden or Dairy States, or any other State in The Union for that matter however this Cheese-head from DownUnder misses the food, beer, cheese and sights from the Badger State so bad, that if anyone wants to swap living in WI for a life in Sydney just let me know (note: preferably residents from Manitowoc, Brown, Door and Adams Counties lol!!)

Herring mops? Never heard of them. My husband loves pickled herring, but this IS more weird. For the record, I won't touch herring.

you need a beer or vodka with the herring! that's a brandy old fashion sweet

I live in WI yet I didn't know half of what those foods were :/

Woah woah woah why isnt there an iowa taste testing?

I don't think they got the concept behind the name of the cocktail. "I feel like it is up to here with whiskey" "It's good and I feel buzzed so I don't know what's in here" >>> Brandy Old Fashioned

How come they get backed cheese curds in January and we only get them every two years in September for cheese days

No, cheese curds were not made for splitting!! hahaha

Why did they put out herring we do not eat that! Thats pretty much what fishermen eat

You have to know what your doing when you make old fashioneds and what whiskey

An old fashion is hardly a "Wisconsin food". Pickled herring is fairly common, herring "rollmops" not so much. What about brats? Or lefse? Or aebleskivers?

So what's the difference between herring and sushi to them? because to me it's all the same. I'd say you found complete rubes to do this taste test (WHO has never heard of a brandy old fashioned???)

I'm a Wisconsinite but I never had any of those

Where are the pizza fries?

get the to try some of U.K. foods it will confuse them I'm used to them

Wow. This says a lot more about the Californians than the Wisconsinites.

Dont worry guys I dont think many people like the herring

ok how come no one is telling them what they are eating .. i saw one video and it was michigan and they told them the hot dog had heart parts in it .. i wanna know what they are eating lol ..

yes I agree disappointed ..... you did not do your research on true Wisconsin food.... you need to eat fresh cheese curds to feel the squeak in your mouth not fried.... kringles and brandy old fashions you can get any where..... yes how about a brat with sour kraught ........ head cheese... punchka's jelly filled dough nut .. with prunes.... a good Friday night fish fry..... there are many more ...... do better research plz

Send them to Sobelman's for a bloody mary!

I'm a native Wisconsinite and I have no idea what a herring rollmop is, but I wouldn't eat that shit either.

Wait, no brats or creampuffs? What the French?!?!

Never heard of a herring rollmop. The pickled herring from Ma Baensch is great (www.mabaensch.com/) and I think the pickled herring from the Black Angus Steakhouse in Prairie Du Chien, WI is really good.

I drink a lot so...

Cheese head here and I drink a lot of old fashions from brandy to whiskey and I have never seen one of those stupid umbrellas in one before. Bad move whoever put that in them.

No brats?

where the kringles lehmans

I've lived in WI my entire life and I don't know anyone who has ever eaten herring rollmops - I never even heard of it before this video!!! What a terrible thing to have people try. How about a good Bratwurst or something?! SMH ...

Wow they were so disgusted by the picked herring it's a good thing they didn't have to try Lutefisk.

why are u people soo against wisconsin?

These are adults? Twelve year olds in bigger bodies. How do we know? Since when does one find cocktail umbrellas in a Brandy Old Fashioned? Hell, my ten year old kids had more manners when tasting new food than these twits. Oh, and yes, I HAVE had every single one of these Wisconsin treats, and a few more that didn't make the list.

#dubs :)

HORRIBLE VIDEO I have lived in wisconsin for 22 years and still do 1. we dont care nor do i even know what a kringle is. 2. herring rollmops are not popular, never had one nor have i even been offered one 3. beer cheese soup i have never been offered or heard of you were dead on about cheese curds and brandy old fashioned but you left out a lot of real popular wisconsin food. u didnt even mention creampuffs, i mean seriously lol.
