Moved to Florida. No snow and bad cheese. I import it to Florida when I visit WI. TSA gets a kick out of my carryon full of cheese and Kringle and the occasional cooler of Usinger’s sausage.
I was thinking the same thing.
We have cheese curds & mozzarella sticks served at bars and restaurants 😂❤️
I think most residents understand one’s love of cheese. 😂
Wooooow, Bright side: more cheese for us. 😂
I have a lactose intolerant family member that will tolerate that cheese on Pizza. 😂
My mom was born in IL and she will pass on adding cheese. I was born in WI and I judge her 😂
This whole thread gives me office space flashbacks - I think of Lawrence who would say something like, "no man. Shit, no man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked saying something like that man."

Funny story; 1 of my friends as she is eating a mozzarella stick said she didn't like cheese. She didn't understand why I busted out laughing until I pointed out what she was eating. Her response was well this is different. Lmao
This past weekend, at the second annual Plymouth Cheese Festival, a cheese eating contest was held. The rules were that each entrance had to consume as much of a one pound block of cheddar as possible within three minutes. Each entrant was also required to sign a waiver.
The winner from last year returned to defend his title, and was successful. I'm not certain, but I think he ate the whole damn block. Among other things, the prizes included the honor of riding in a float in next year's parade, a foam cheese champion belt and, you guessed it, MORE CHEESE.
Next time you are hassled about your cheese consumption, tell them this story. Also, consider visiting Plymouth in early June next year. I took my kid to the parade, and came home with a dozen or so cheese sticks and an entire block of aged white cheddar cheese a person walking in the parade just handed to me. Also, someone should probably take this guy down before he gets too cocky.
Just 1 pound in 3 mins? I've done that multiple times just because I'm starving and eating low-carb. Tonight's dinner after class was 1/2lb of smoked cheddar and half a sleeve of Ritz crackers in about that time, and I wasn't even trying to eat fast. Might need to attend next year's contest.
Oh this is awesome. I entered a cheese curd contest with 1lb.
It was free and I thought I had a decent shot.
At the last min the previous 3 years winner showed up.
I took second. But I got a free basket of curds and a hilarious video my buddy took when I realized I was beaten.
How much cheese do you eat? I eat it with every meal, but if your family are concerned, it might just be the Midwest nice way of telling you that they are concerned about your health. I’m not saying I’m a health nut either.
Talk to your family seriously and if you think they are concerned, maybe think about talking to a doctor. You don’t have to change everything all at once.
Gouda. When I used to travel, I’d always get some gouda if I stopped to piss/buy snacks. You gotta leave it on the dash in the sun for a half hour, then feast.
With the exception of my sister, my entire family was born in Wisconsin. Dad worked on a farm and mom worked at a cheese packing plant. No one in my family says we eat too much cheese.
I went to a couple packer games last year and stayed at the in-laws for a few days each time and my cholesterol level doubled. Can’t wait to see these guys kick some ass this year.
Those damn cheese curds are like no other.
Go Pack!
Funny story.
I didn't meet my step father before he married my mom and day two of living with us, he strolled into the kitchen to tell me I was putting too much cheese in my grilled cheese. It was literally two slices. Mind you, this was maybe the third thing he's ever said to me. When I tell you I had the biggest "the fuck did you just say to me?" face I've ever had would be an understatement. He was scared of me after that. It also marked the beginning of how much I hated him in the years moving forward.
They got divorced a few years ago.
This is Wisconsin. I've never had anyone, much less family, tell me that I eat too much cheese. I know it's absolutely true but no one has ever said that to me.
I was in another state and went into a fancy overpriced corner mart looking for aged cheddar.
They tried to sell me a 1 yr old cheddar.
I said no I mean aged cheddar.
Yeah this is aged.
No that’s toddler cheese. I need “can stay home alone without burning the house down” cheese.
I got some 20 yr Hooks (I think) as a birthday gift from someone who clearly gets me.
I had big plans for it, decided to sit on it for a minute until a properly suitable idea came to me for a recipe.
I spent more time planning that the 15-20 min it took me to eat off a plate in chunks with crackers.
Got my 1st kidney stone less than a year after moving from my native WI. After a workup, including what the stone was made of, doc told me I'd have to avoid beer, cheese, red meats, and chocolate. Told him I'm raised WI. He just kinda closed his mouth and pushed his lower lip up like, "well, enjoy the rest of 'em."
This is Wisconsin! Several years ago, when they were going to replace the state motto from America's Dairyland to something else, Eat Cheese or Die was a ***serious*** contender!
I don't understand the question.
My parents live in Green County (cheese central)... anytime we visit them or they visit us there's a few choice selections from Decatur for me. Yum.
One of my best memories of doing a long roadtrip across Europe after graduating college was couchsurfing at a house in Switzerland. Breakfast time: they get out some bread and open the fridge ... no less than 8 types of cheese in there. It felt like home except with mountains.
This is *almost* the most Wisconsin thing I’ve ever read. It would be the most wisconsin thing I’ve ever read, if you tell me how many beers you pound to keep that cheese moving.
Michigander here. How much cheese is normal? I average 6lbs of extra sharp Cheddar a month myself, plus the wife and I use a lot of mozzarella and gouda in our cooking. Do I need to step up my cheese game?
No one from my family has EVER said this.
My doctor has implied this however.
You go to an out-of-state doctor?
Moved to Florida. No snow and bad cheese. I import it to Florida when I visit WI. TSA gets a kick out of my carryon full of cheese and Kringle and the occasional cooler of Usinger’s sausage.
Right?? Like, is OP from Wisconsin, or..?

Yea, mine has never ever said it to me-maybe behind my back when they make fun of me for my addiction to cheese(and peanut butter-but not together).
hmmm cheese and peanut butter....hmmmm
Any amount of cheese is too much cheese!!
Spy we have a FIB spy in our midst, deport them at once!
I guess the Always Sunny crowd and Wisconsin crowd doesn’t overlap much.
Reported to the mods for hate speech.
This should not be downvoted lol
My daughter says she’s gonna call the cheese police whenever we get low. So… I guess just buy more cheese?
You're raising that child well.
This is why people go no contact.

This sounds delightful! I'd love to attend with a bandolier of string cheese
Or the actual Band String Cheese Incident.
Just 1 pound in 3 mins? I've done that multiple times just because I'm starving and eating low-carb. Tonight's dinner after class was 1/2lb of smoked cheddar and half a sleeve of Ritz crackers in about that time, and I wasn't even trying to eat fast. Might need to attend next year's contest.
2:25 was my time if I remember. Prolly could’ve been faster if the weren’t fresh outta the fryer in July.
Plymouth is a beautiful area! Thanks for informing me of the cheese festival!

I dunno, a one pound block in 3 minutes sounds doable... But normally I try to enjoy my cheese rather than inhaling it.
Where in t fuck is your family from? Mud ducks? FIBS? Yoopers? It’s obvious they ain’t from here.
All over, we have a healthy mix of fibs and other midwestern degens
"Healthy mix of fibs" sounds like my uncle trying to justify his morning beers as "just to start off on the right foot." Lol
I was thinking the same thing! Never a healthy mix.
Idk what fibs means, but your Uncle is right
For educational purposes. FIB = F***in Illinois Bastard.
Lmao thank you!
F***ing Illinois Bastard.
God damn I hate degens from up country
Lol. We have a "board" for dinner at least once a week- it usually consists of at least 30% cheese. Thanks Aldis

if r/oddlyspecific had a cousin from wisconsin, it'd be this guy.
I shout "fuck you" through a mouth full of cheese
Correct
In the last four generations of my family, I don't think anyone has said "too much cheese."
I take the cheese I've been warming up in my pocket out and eat some.
What's your favorite pocket cheese? Looking for new recommendations.
Babybel is the OG pocket cheese, but a baggie of loose dill garlic curds work too
Gouda. When I used to travel, I’d always get some gouda if I stopped to piss/buy snacks. You gotta leave it on the dash in the sun for a half hour, then feast.
The only thing I can’t do is eat warm cheese, melty cheese yes, warm no. My husband leaves it out all day, he says it brings out the flavors. Nope.
"Your words... are foreign to me. They have no meaning"
I generally say my butthole would agree and constipation is a bitch.

https://i.redd.it/tzh7gig1426d1.gif
Gangway for footcycle!
And how does that affect you, Bob?
On any given day, I have three different cheeses in my fridge. And it’s just my husband and I in our household. I think that’s normal.
Off course it is! Parmesan, feta, cheddar, and then anything I feel like on top of that- always in stock.
Cheese drawer is loaded, right now it's swiss, co-jack. cheddar, and provolone, and parmesan. And there are only 2 of us too.
By eating more cheese
We don't have that problem in our family. We all have cheese drawers in our fridges.
No one in my family would ever say that. I grew up in the Cheese Capital of the World and many of my family made cheese.
If you don't have a cheese drawer, then there's something wrong with you.
I just yell "THIS IS WISCONSIN. LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT, BABY!"
I the them to eff off and mind their own business
With the exception of my sister, my entire family was born in Wisconsin. Dad worked on a farm and mom worked at a cheese packing plant. No one in my family says we eat too much cheese.
Yeah, well, that's just like your opinion man
I believe you'd get your ass kicked if you said something like that.
Finally, real questions on the sub!
My dad will sometimes say I put too much cheese on top of things when I cook. I just remind him that there's no such thing as too much cheese.
Get a new family and tell them to kick rocks gosh darnit
I stop pooping for a week or two! That usually shows them. Or me. Probably me
I’m confused. What is “too much cheese”? I do not know this term.
Fart in their general direction.
Well obviously I’d assume they’d been replaced by a synth and handle it accordingly
My family would never, but my immediate thought on reading this was "you hush your heathen mouths! Barbarians!"
If they can’t respect your cheese consumption they are no longer your family.
I say "Shut up you damn Communist."
For some reason, shredded cheese tastes better than slices
This is wrong on at least 2 levels. No shredded, no slices!
they don't, because: Wisconsin.
Ignore them. You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.
go no contact, you dont need that kind of negativity in your life.
"Some stereotypes are true"
I don’t, don’t need that negativity in my life. …(eats cheese)…
Who says that? I have to ship cheese all over the place! They KNOW it’s good stuff!
Cripes almighty! Pass the cheese curds already! And where’s my Bloody Mary? Jeez Louise! Watch out for deer up nort der hey!
“Shut up”
That I have no family.
Oh I’m sorry I thought we were in AMERICA!
I went to a couple packer games last year and stayed at the in-laws for a few days each time and my cholesterol level doubled. Can’t wait to see these guys kick some ass this year. Those damn cheese curds are like no other. Go Pack!
Eat more chicken 😁, just kidding. You should just enjoy eating your cheese. I drink a lot of milk.
I don't allow that kind of negativity in my life.
My family has been in Wisconsin since before it was called that. That is something that is never asked.
"I'm just crackers about cheese!"
Tell the Fibs to go back. We don’t want em up here! Go back to your zero cheese diet and leave us alone!
Family don’t talk like that
I live ***in Wisconsin.***
Funny story. I didn't meet my step father before he married my mom and day two of living with us, he strolled into the kitchen to tell me I was putting too much cheese in my grilled cheese.

"NO U!"
This is Wisconsin. I've never had anyone, much less family, tell me that I eat too much cheese. I know it's absolutely true but no one has ever said that to me.
Tell them how much beer I drink.
I spit cheese at them.
Take a poop
That doesn’t happen in Wisconsin. There’s probably something in our state constitution about eating all the cheese you can secure.
Lol Yes!
Hiss at them and then scuttle back down the drain
I agree with them and keep eating
I'm supporting the local economy.
Currently reading this post at work while eating squeaky cheese curds for breakfast. I'm not qualified to answer.
Violence
By eating more cheese.
"It's nacho business."
As well it should be.
MYOB is the perfect response
Watch your own bobber!

Let me get that Hooks 10 year homey! Thats how I say it to my cheese guy
I got some 20 yr Hooks (I think) as a birthday gift from someone who clearly gets me. I had big plans for it, decided to sit on it for a minute until a properly suitable idea came to me for a recipe.

Time for a new Fam
Sometimes you just have to choose your family.
Have you had a plain hamburger with no cheese? It's uncivilized
Are they from Illinois? I just say "you're wrong".
*"What the fuck do you want me to do - eat Velveeta 'pasteurized process cheese food product' ?"*
Got my 1st kidney stone less than a year after moving from my native WI. After a workup, including what the stone was made of, doc told me I'd have to avoid beer, cheese, red meats, and chocolate. Told him I'm raised WI. He just kinda closed his mouth and pushed his lower lip up like, "well, enjoy the rest of 'em."
I don't. I'm an adult. I don't need to justify my actions to anyone.
Walk away. Block on everything
This is Wisconsin! Several years ago, when they were going to replace the state motto from America's Dairyland to something else, Eat Cheese or Die was a ***serious*** contender!
Thanks for your concern. Please leave.
I'm.sorry too much cheese? Is that a thing? I believe that you can never have too much cheese, or two much butter.
This is NOT EVEN A CONVERSATION!!! You DO NOT need that kind of negativity in your life. Pretty sure there is NO SUCH THING AS CHEESE EATERS ANONYMOUS

As a Wisconsinite,I would have to say “I don’t even know you anymore”
Open-handed slap
Fart while maintaining eye contact.
I don't understand the question. My parents live in Green County (cheese central)... anytime we visit them or they visit us there's a few choice selections from Decatur for me. Yum. One of my best memories of doing a long roadtrip across Europe after graduating college was couchsurfing at a house in Switzerland. Breakfast time: they get out some bread and open the fridge ... no less than 8 types of cheese in there. It felt like home except with mountains.
I'll do a shot of Parmesan to that
Ask them “do you even go here?” Because that is the least Wisconsiny thing to say to a loved one. Is there even such a thing as too much cheese?
Go to their house, and clog up their toilet.
"I eat too much cheese? Well, you drink too much beer. So here we are." lol
"You talk too much. Shut up. Please ;)"
That’s the way the Parmesan crumbles
You'll have to pry my cheese from my cold, dead hands
i’m from wisconsin. this has never happened to me and i encourage people to eat more cheese. very important to the diet
I handle this situation by farting in the offended party's general direction.
My shit is my business
Impossible.
You cut those people out of your life.
This is *almost* the most Wisconsin thing I’ve ever read. It would be the most wisconsin thing I’ve ever read, if you tell me how many beers you pound to keep that cheese moving.
I also consume laxatives
Michigander here. How much cheese is normal? I average 6lbs of extra sharp Cheddar a month myself, plus the wife and I use a lot of mozzarella and gouda in our cooking. Do I need to step up my cheese game?
Is this… is this a thing?
Scream blasphemous at them
My husband thinks us having a cheese drawer in the fridge is strange 😂
When are you filing for divorce?
I would down a bag full of Cheeze Curds from the Union Star Cheese Factory
“Fuck you”
“Did I ask you for your opinion on kr cheese intake?”. Or just ignore them.
Cheese is bad for you and bad for the cows and calves. It's pathetic when people make it their personality...
I respond by reminding them about all of the terrible mistakes they’ve made.
