This has nothing to do with the cheese but the service.
After finding the fried cheese curds, I found a cheese shop across the street. I come in, the store looks very nice. I ask if they have cheese curds, "No, but they will have more tomorrow."
"I can't come back tomorrow, I have class and flying back to Los Angeles."
So she calls another store to see if they have some. I get directions from the employee at the other store, and head around 20 miles away so I can find the curds tonight.
The kicker ... when I get to the other store and see what cheese curds looked like, I realize that there was plate out on the counter at this store. Why didn't she say, "Here are some samples, would you like to try one?"
