Interesting - I did not know that. What characterizes a Wisconsin pizza? Thick crust, thin crust?

You know, I never really gave much thought to that. I guess Rocky Rococo's started here, and they were "pan-style" pizza. Other than that, I guess I was just born and raised here and whatever my first impressions of pizza were, that's what I go by.

I've also grown up in Wisconsin, and I don't think there's really anything that could be considered "Wisconsin style" when it comes to pizza. Even Rocky Rococo's is kind of a Detroit style pizza, I suppose.

Local bars around here usually offer a thin crust variant, and then there's a bunch of terrible chains.

We can definitely claim beer brats and cheese curds, though! ;)

I haven't had poutine in Canada, but I'd think the gravy would have a significant effect on that. There's a lot of variation on how one could make gravy; if it's seasoned a certain way, I imagine it could be really tasty. Same with the fries used.

I've tried poutine once, and it wasn't in Canada. It was at some sort of Irish bar in Minneapolis, where parents went during a break in our daughter's volleyball tournament.

I was leary about ordering it, seeing as though it was .. an Irish bar in Minnesota, but we were pleasantly surprised with it. It had brisket, cheese curds, and a dark brown gravy that was pretty damn good, and well seasoned.

I get it, too. ;)

While you are correct about the US states Wisconsin borders, and that WI doesn't actually border Canada (because of Michigan's waters), Quebec does not border Lake Superior. Having driven the Circle Tour I can confirm that, on the Canadian side, Superior is surrounded by Ontario. ;)

I shall have to admit that it is not something that appealed to me so I did not try it while in Canada in 2017. I did try "real" Canadian Bacon, and I did try out Tim Horton's. I also tried out a Polish restaurant in Thunder Bay, where I had my first perogies (yum!), and an Indian restaurant in the Soo.

The Polish place also had homemade polish sausage. Also delicious!

well i think you pinned it down.

cheese is bland and potatoes are bland. they must have put a ton of seasoning in it.

it just seemed weird to have brown gravy on cheese and fries.

San Francisco is a melting pot, and the Richmond district, where I
lived for many years, had a neightborhood with a Russian Orthodox
church and a big Russian/Polish population. A fresh perogie is a thing
of beauty.

Within a 10-block radius, you'd find a polish deli, one of the best

Dim Sum and a wonderful hole-in-the-wall sushi joint.
