I do too. I even ate poutine tonight at Frogman's WWTBAM viewing party. I don't know how close it was to the real thing, but they made a good effort. It needed more mushrooms.

Cheese curds are the fresh curds of cheese, often cheddar. They are generally available in retail stores operated at cheese factories throughout the countries of Canada and the United States (especially in USA's Upstate New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Canada's provinces of Ontario, and Quebec, where they can be found in many grocery stores.) Cheese curds are little-known in locations without cheese factories, because they should ideally be eaten within hours of manufacture.

Their flavor is mild with about the same firmness as cheese, but has a springy or rubbery texture. Fresh curds squeak against the teeth when bitten into, which some would say is their defining characteristic. Cheese curds are sometimes referred to as "Squeaky cheese." They are sometimes somewhat salty. The American variety are usually yellow or orange in color, like most American cheddar cheese. Other varieties, such as the Québécois and New York variety, can be roughly the same color as white cheddar cheese.

After 12 hours they lose their squeak. When I was growing up, my family shipped their milk to an international award winning cheese factory. To this day they made the best cheese curds I have ever tasted. A few miles outside of Ottawa were several cheese factories where curds could be purchased. Mrs M and I always hit one of the stores when we go home.

No offense to those who are from the UK. Saying that after saying something totally insulting makes it all better, right?

When coming back from Canada once, the only question the border guard ask Husband1111 and I was whether or not we had any cheese in our car
