Discover Wisconsin
Do you think skiing and Wisconsin go together? Now you can add food to that list! Due to a historically large Germanic population, you will find many heartwarming meals here. Hamburgers are loved in America, and Wisconsin took that to heart. Take some crafted, in-state cheese, add butter with the hamburger, and wrap with a bun. If you find yourself on the road, there are many varieties of Wisconsin sausage. You'll get hungry just thinking about the fresh cranberries, the official fruit of Wisconsin, and all the decadent desserts that include them. The discovery of lead brought miners from England that imparted their love of pasties, which is actually closer to a pot pie. While looking like an omelet, you’ll find an assortment of potatoes, rutabaga, onions, and meat inside Cornish pasties.
