    Nah, I’m actually from just a bit north of Atlanta. However, I watch a lot of Canadian media - mainly thanks to LoadingReadyRun. I finally had poutine here about 2 years ago. It took more effort than it sounds like because cheese curds are not easily come by here, and when you find them they’re expensive.

      Ah yeah, I can imagine it gets pricey depending on where you are in relation to the nearest local cheese curd makers. I’m pretty lucky, I can take a short drive to Wisconsin if I wanna stock up. It’s crazy, like, once you cross the border, even at the gas stations there’s so much cheese. So much cheese. It’s everywhere!

      • You can’t stock up on cheese curds, though. They lose their squeak after a couple of days. If you freeze them, they lose their squeak immediately. The best part of cheese curds are the squeek.

        I’m in Minneapolis, not far from WI, and it’s a crap shoot whether you’re getting the real deal, or some unsqeaky fading flower. I mean, old curds are still good, they’re just not great.
