I'm from Wisconsin, born and raised. Nearly 32 years. Never once have I heard of a "herring rollmop", seen one on a menu, or witnessed someone eat one. It's definitely not a "favorite food" in Wisconsin. It was still funny to see people eat something so gross.
Matthew Woodrum I live in SW Wisconsin... we call them Herring Rolls here. Essentially it's pickled herring wrapped around anything that sounds remotely interesting (Homemade garlic pickles and horseradish for example). They are a staple at any gathering of any sort. Same with Beer Cheese Soup (not 'cheddar beer soup').
I've never heard of them either. I'm used to herring in cream sauce. I'll demolish a whole jar of that shit any day. Maybe that's just a Milwaukee thing......
123zwitter I'm a 50 year old German-American Wisconsinite in southern Wisconsin (Madison area) and I've never seen this anywhere. My dad used to eat pickled herring, these rollmops seem to be a variation on that, but one thing for sure is that it is not a "most notable" food from Wisconsin.
123zwitter I've lived in southern wisconsin for 36 years and i've never seen that fucking shit, lol. At least, if it's pickled herring they're referring to it in a really fucked up way. Never seen a rollmop. Damn fine job on the Kringle though.
Dear World. While I'm sure there is a Norwegian family somewhere in Wisconsin that eats something called rollmops I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people from Wisconsin have never heard of them. Anyway, I hadn't.
I'm from Wisconsin and I've only heard of two of these things and have actually only had 1... Where's the beer brats, fish fry, lefse, lutefisk, blue moon ice cream (signature!) and to wash it all down, a Spotted Cow.
Dude, no one in Wisconsin has apparently heard of your roll mop thing, you didn't even serve a good beer-boiled brat, and no one puts drink umbrellas in their drinks. Otherwise, pretty spot on.
I'm from Wisconsin and if it's that hard to take your cheese curd apart then there's either something wrong with the cheese or you didn't cook them right. Ellsworth cheese curds are the best
As a Wisconsinite: Kringle: Awesome Curds: Awesome Herring: Awesome, but I only eat Ma Baensch and have never seen a rollmop before (???) Beer Cheese Soup: Awesome Brandy Old Fashioned: Awesome, but no umbrella
Been living in Wisconsin 29 years, no idea what a herring rollmop is or why someone would eat one. Grab a brat boiled in beer and grilled, loaded with sour kraut. Then you know you're in Wisconsin.
I had to skip over the "herring rollmops" part - that was disgusting! (And, I'm from southeastern WI and I've never heard of that. WTH?) LOL the girl thinks kringle is actually a pizza. ;)
if the cheese curd isn't gooey when you're eating it, you're doing it wrong. hehe. Don't give newbies to the food cooled down cheese curds, they're not as good then!
I've got a related challenge for your Left-Coasters. Tell them the name of a city in Wisconsin, and challenge them to SPELL it. You can start easy (Baraboo, Chippewa Falls, Milwaukee) then throw the fun ones at them. (Sheboygan, Wauwatosa, Kaukauna, Fond du Lac, Eau Claire, Cudahy) Just a thought.
A brandy old fashioned? you mean the way old fashioneds are meant to be #Wisconsin Also cheese curds are way better when they aren't fried. (the rare exception to deep fried = better)
I'm from Southern Wisconsin! I've eaten plenty of Curds before, they're really good if you fry them just right, otherwise they can be kinda greasy. I've had Kringle before too, it's really good. I've also had the Cheddar Beer Soup. Mine looked a bit thicker; I liked it though. I've never had Herring Rollmops. I assume they must be from closer to Green Bay or something. I haven't had Brandy either, but I don't drink too much.
Pickled herring (Ma Baensch!) with hor dourves during the holidays is GREAT. It's an acquired taste and I didn't really like it until I was a teenager, but the real stuff is good! When I googled "Herring rollmops" (because wtf is that anyway), It's actually some european thing and it looks way fishier than the herring i'm used to.
should have been regular cheese curds, not fried curds... and just straight pickled herring rather than rollmops. I can see why brats were not included, since everyone loves a brat, but yeah that's about as Wisconsin as it gets... and who the F puts an umbrella in their Old Fashioned!
I'm a New Orleanian who married a girl from Wisconsin and all I can say is where's the brats and they are lucky they didn't give them ludafisk or fiskabolla;)
From Southeast Wisconsin, and I've never heard of the herring rollmops. Should have let them try Spotted Cow. They would want to move here after trying that.
I'm from wisconsin, proud cheesehead or wisconsinite, whatever you'd like to call us I will just say I love everything that was on this video!! I def miss brandy old fashions, and hering rolls!! And kringle, and cheese curds, of course beer cheese soup!!! Make another but you have to add cream pies, spotted cow beer, bloody marys, culvers, chocolate covered bacon and infuzinos pizza,
Obviously the cheese curds were not hot or made well. Also those were weak old fashions. The cherry and orange were not muddled and the sugar wasn't even dissolved, the number one issue is that you used whiskey in it! Wisconsin old fashions are always made with Brandy!
We don't have rollmops in Wisconsin - I was born and raised there and discovered them when I worked in Holland. And could not find they to buy in Wisconsin...
I'm not from either the Golden or Dairy States, or any other State in The Union for that matter however this Cheese-head from DownUnder misses the food, beer, cheese and sights from the Badger State so bad, that if anyone wants to swap living in WI for a life in Sydney just let me know (note: preferably residents from Manitowoc, Brown, Door and Adams Counties lol!!)
I don't think they got the concept behind the name of the cocktail. "I feel like it is up to here with whiskey" "It's good and I feel buzzed so I don't know what's in here" >>> Brandy Old Fashioned
Wisconsinite here, I've never heard of or seen those disgusting fish things, not sure if its a German or Scandinavian thing. Beer cheese soup really needs to be served with a big bready fresh baked german style pretzel, it's kind of a novelty here, not found many places. Fried cheese curds, you need to beer batter them to make it a WI food, otherwise it's just generic bar food (even beer battered, you would mostly find them as bar food) Brandy old fashioned, I think you all made it wrong, the fruit should be muddled with the bitters and sugar before anything gets mixed in, still an acquired taste, you will mostly find older folks drinking them. On take 2 try fresh caught chinook salmon from lake Michigan, baked on a cedar plank. Fish fry every Friday also a more common WI food tradition. Local grass fed beef or organic dairy sourced from less than 45 min anywhere in the state, also super good. Locally grown organic veggies are a big deal, city folk in WI are all about local food and WI farmers grow some of the most organic crops as a percentage of total acreage. Urban farming is also a big deal in Milwaukee, Growing power started the modern urban farming movement and many local eateries source produce from them. I suppose the reactions wouldn't be as funny if you gave them good food eh? Oh and where the heck were the Brats smothered with kraut?
So what's the difference between herring and sushi to them? because to me it's all the same. I'd say you found complete rubes to do this taste test (WHO has never heard of a brandy old fashioned???)
Never heard of a herring rollmop. The pickled herring from Ma Baensch is great (www.mabaensch.com/) and I think the pickled herring from the Black Angus Steakhouse in Prairie Du Chien, WI is really good.
ok how come no one is telling them what they are eating .. i saw one video and it was michigan and they told them the hot dog had heart parts in it .. i wanna know what they are eating lol ..
An old fashion is hardly a "Wisconsin food". Pickled herring is fairly common, herring "rollmops" not so much. What about brats? Or lefse? Or aebleskivers?
I've lived in WI my entire life and I don't know anyone who has ever eaten herring rollmops - I never even heard of it before this video!!! What a terrible thing to have people try. How about a good Bratwurst or something?! SMH ...
Cheese head here and I drink a lot of old fashions from brandy to whiskey and I have never seen one of those stupid umbrellas in one before. Bad move whoever put that in them.
yes I agree disappointed ..... you did not do your research on true Wisconsin food.... you need to eat fresh cheese curds to feel the squeak in your mouth not fried.... kringles and brandy old fashions you can get any where..... yes how about a brat with sour kraught ........ head cheese... punchka's jelly filled dough nut .. with prunes.... a good Friday night fish fry..... there are many more ...... do better research plz
These are adults? Twelve year olds in bigger bodies. How do we know? Since when does one find cocktail umbrellas in a Brandy Old Fashioned? Hell, my ten year old kids had more manners when tasting new food than these twits. Oh, and yes, I HAVE had every single one of these Wisconsin treats, and a few more that didn't make the list.
HORRIBLE VIDEO I have lived in wisconsin for 22 years and still do 1. we dont care nor do i even know what a kringle is. 2. herring rollmops are not popular, never had one nor have i even been offered one 3. beer cheese soup i have never been offered or heard of you were dead on about cheese curds and brandy old fashioned but you left out a lot of real popular wisconsin food. u didnt even mention creampuffs, i mean seriously lol.
MrCoreyp1989 Kringle is invented, and pretty much only in Racine, Wisconsin. Herring Rolls are mostly in SE or SW Wisconsin, Beer cheese soup is from Milwaukee and Greenbay (also in Minnesota). Creampuffs are most popular in the midwest, but are still located almost everywhere in the US.
I don't know where you live but I grew up in Milwaukee and live in LaCrosse area now been in Wisconsin for most of my 44 years and every one knows beer cheese soup and kringle. Every bakery sells kringle, nearly every restaurant sells beer cheese soup in the winter. As for herring rollups? No never heard of them, but grew up eating herring, pickled and fried.

Every Wisconsin person watching this Now wants cheese curds
I'm from the great state of Wisconsin, but I never even heard of "herring rollmops". I'm also kinda disappointed there was no bratwurst
That's German but I see it everywhere here in South Wisconsin
I've never heard of them either. I'm used to herring in cream sauce. I'll demolish a whole jar of that shit any day. Maybe that's just a Milwaukee thing......

Damn fine job on the Kringle though.
Cheese curds are the bomb digity, I have no idea why the whole US have never heard of them?!
CHEESE CURDS ARE FINGER FOODS
I'm a Wisconsinite and have no clue what that roll is .
I know right I have never even heard of it and I have been in Wisconsin my whole life!
Dear World. While I'm sure there is a Norwegian family somewhere in Wisconsin that eats something called rollmops I'm pretty sure 99.9% of people from Wisconsin have never heard of them. Anyway, I hadn't.

Those were the saddest Cheese curds i've ever seen.
How about bratwurst, beef sticks, and venison?
I know right? They're missing the best part!
Oh and a few more to add.
Cream puffs, beer brats, deep fried butter, Wisconsin Rhubarb Cheesecake,
I'm from Wisconsin and if it's that hard to take your cheese curd apart then there's either something wrong with the cheese or you didn't cook them right. Ellsworth cheese curds are the best
As a Wisconsinite:
Kringle: Awesome
Curds: Awesome
Herring: Awesome, but I only eat Ma Baensch and have never seen a rollmop before (???)
Beer Cheese Soup: Awesome
Brandy Old Fashioned: Awesome, but no umbrella
Heck yes I'm from the Wales area around Delafield and Genesee Depot and those are the best cheese curds on the planet!!!!
Been living in Wisconsin 29 years, no idea what a herring rollmop is or why someone would eat one. Grab a brat boiled in beer and grilled, loaded with sour kraut. Then you know you're in Wisconsin.

WISCONSIN ROCKS!!
Yeah I live in Milwaukee, WI and never heard of herring rollmops either and I'm very ok with that. Where are the butter burgers?
spalex300 That's Culvers. Culvers did start in Wisconsin, but now there all across the US.
I've lived in wisconsin all of my life and i've never even heard of the herring role up things
Marena W. Rollmops*
if the cheese curd isn't gooey when you're eating it, you're doing it wrong. hehe. Don't give newbies to the food cooled down cheese curds, they're not as good then!
True.
It's called beer cheese soup
I'm from Wisconsin and I've only seen the Kringle's and cheese curds
Who puts an umbrella in an Old Fashioned?
I've got a related challenge for your Left-Coasters. Tell them the name of a city in Wisconsin, and challenge them to SPELL it. You can start easy (Baraboo, Chippewa Falls, Milwaukee) then throw the fun ones at them. (Sheboygan, Wauwatosa, Kaukauna, Fond du Lac, Eau Claire, Cudahy) Just a thought.
MUD2MMO Not a bad idea! Thanks for the suggestion, Mud!
Movoto Originals ughhhhh please please PLEEAASSSEEE do this :D
MUD2MMO Especially Ashwaubenon
That would be awesome
***** Cool!
I'm from Wisconsin and I've never had "herring rollmops".....
i am from Wisconsin so this is really weird and funny to watch
I'm from Wisconsin, born and raised, and I've never heard of herring rollmops either. They should have had cream puffs and bloody maries too!
i'm a Wisconsinite who loves his Brandy Old Fashions!
A brandy old fashioned? you mean the way old fashioneds are meant to be #Wisconsin Also cheese curds are way better when they aren't fried. (the rare exception to deep fried = better)
... And Californians wonder why the rest of the country makes fun of them.
I'm from Southern Wisconsin!
I've eaten plenty of Curds before, they're really good if you fry them just right, otherwise they can be kinda greasy. I've had Kringle before too, it's really good.
I've also had the Cheddar Beer Soup. Mine looked a bit thicker; I liked it though.
I've never had Herring Rollmops. I assume they must be from closer to Green Bay or something. I haven't had Brandy either, but I don't drink too much.

When I googled "Herring rollmops" (because wtf is that anyway), It's actually some european thing and it looks way fishier than the herring i'm used to.
We'll have to agree with the "acquired taste" status of herring. What goes well with it at a holiday dinner?
Movoto Originals maybe some cranberry sauce or some coleslaw?
Movoto Originals cooked vegatable salad with mayonnaise, bread, eggs with mayonnaise and spring onion :) i can give you some recipes:)
should have been regular cheese curds, not fried curds... and just straight pickled herring rather than rollmops. I can see why brats were not included, since everyone loves a brat, but yeah that's about as Wisconsin as it gets... and who the F puts an umbrella in their Old Fashioned!
Born and raised in wisconsin. The rollomop or whatever is not a state wide food. In fact. Never seen it anyway
My grandpa eating pickled herring ALL the time... he literally, take a fork and eats from the jar lmao
omg...my grampa does that to...im not even kidding O.O
Born and raised in wi. I've never heard of a herring rollmop, but you couldn't pay me to eat one of those hahaha
Born and raised in Wisconsin and I've never heard of Kringles or Rollmops. Venison and brats should have been on this!
bpstick Kringle is more Southern Wisconsin (Racine). Pickled Herrings are mostly SE and SW Wisconsin.
Gotcha!
I'm a New Orleanian who married a girl from Wisconsin and all I can say is where's the brats and they are lucky they didn't give them ludafisk or fiskabolla;)
walterdelle You should check out our Minnesota Taste Test- our reactions are pretty much what you'd expect from lutefisk!
Movoto Originals That was so funny. I really think the place is beautiful. But when I'm there I eat a lot of Chinese food;)
From Southeast Wisconsin, and I've never heard of the herring rollmops. Should have let them try Spotted Cow. They would want to move here after trying that.
I'm from wisconsin, proud cheesehead or wisconsinite, whatever you'd like to call us
I will just say I love everything that was on this video!!
I def miss brandy old fashions, and hering rolls!!
And kringle, and cheese curds, of course beer cheese soup!!!
Make another but you have to add cream pies, spotted cow beer, bloody marys, culvers, chocolate covered bacon and infuzinos pizza,
Andersen Kirsten Culvers is everywhere now.
I haven't found one in georgia.... =(
The herring things are definitely not eastern Wisconsin. It's probably more of a Minnesota thing.
Obviously the cheese curds were not hot or made well. Also those were weak old fashions. The cherry and orange were not muddled and the sugar wasn't even dissolved, the number one issue is that you used whiskey in it! Wisconsin old fashions are always made with Brandy!
We don't have rollmops in Wisconsin - I was born and raised there and discovered them when I worked in Holland. And could not find they to buy in Wisconsin...
I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life, and I've only heard of one of these dishes, Beer Cheese Soup. Which is actually a German dish.
I was born and live in Wisconsin and have only had one of these things, that being the fried cheese curds lol
Yesssss! You guys did it! Lol
Beer Cheese Soups is also a Minnesota thing. Really anything German is from both Minnesota and Wisconsin.
***** cheese curds and kringle are big Minnesota foods, too.
Matt! You're amazing!! Hahhaa
I am 53 and grew up in Wisc. What the heck is a herring rollmop?
I live in Wisconsin and I've never heard of any of those foods... Accept the cheese curds. That shits good
Hahaha Adam and manny are funny 😂
I am from wisconsin. Ummm Herring rollmop?
Being a Californian who has lived in the midwest for awhile now. Nothing matches up to New Glarus. Moon Man is the nectar of the gods.
herring roll ups vs Lutefisk ... Minnesota girl I'll stick to my own torchure and eat lutefisk
I love pickled herring!!!!!!
In Holland we have rolmopsen, I'm surprised to see it, with similar spelling :)
you need a beer or vodka with the herring!
that's a brandy old fashion sweet
I've also never heard of "herring rollmops", and I've lived in WI my whole life. Also never heard of "cheddar beer soup"...
Jef B Go to Milwaukee or Green Bay.
I'm from Wisconsin and I've never heard of some of these things
No one eats herring that's definitely more Minnesota
Herring mops? Never heard of them. My husband loves pickled herring, but this IS more weird. For the record, I won't touch herring.
How come they get backed cheese curds in January and we only get them every two years in September for cheese days
Ariel Gruenberg m8. Go to Milwaukee or Green Bay and get them everyday. The State Fair also serves a wide variety of foods.
Oh
I live in Wisconsin and your telling me aint nobody had fried cheese curds.
I'm not from either the Golden or Dairy States, or any other State in The Union for that matter however this Cheese-head from DownUnder misses the food, beer, cheese and sights from the Badger State so bad, that if anyone wants to swap living in WI for a life in Sydney just let me know (note: preferably residents from Manitowoc, Brown, Door and Adams Counties lol!!)
I live in Wisconsin and I eat tacos
I love herring
I don't think they got the concept behind the name of the cocktail.
"I feel like it is up to here with whiskey"
"It's good and I feel buzzed so I don't know what's in here"
>>> Brandy Old Fashioned
I live in WI yet I didn't know half of what those foods were :/
Wisconsinite here, I've never heard of or seen those disgusting fish things, not sure if its a German or Scandinavian thing.
Beer cheese soup really needs to be served with a big bready fresh baked german style pretzel, it's kind of a novelty here, not found many places.

No, cheese curds were not made for splitting!! hahaha
I'd never heard of rollmops either. According to Wikipedia ... I might like them, though.
I'm from Wisconsin and I've never heard of #3.
Where are the pizza fries?
Nicholas Pisca What the heck is that? It sounds tasty.
google "wausau mine company"
Woah woah woah why isnt there an iowa taste testing?
I'm a Wisconsinite but I never had any of those
So what's the difference between herring and sushi to them? because to me it's all the same. I'd say you found complete rubes to do this taste test (WHO has never heard of a brandy old fashioned???)
You have to know what your doing when you make old fashioneds and what whiskey
Wow. This says a lot more about the Californians than the Wisconsinites.
Send them to Sobelman's for a bloody mary!
Why did they put out herring we do not eat that! Thats pretty much what fishermen eat
Never heard of a herring rollmop. The pickled herring from Ma Baensch is great (www.mabaensch.com/) and I think the pickled herring from the Black Angus Steakhouse in Prairie Du Chien, WI is really good.
I drink a lot so...
ok how come no one is telling them what they are eating .. i saw one video and it was michigan and they told them the hot dog had heart parts in it .. i wanna know what they are eating lol ..
Wait, no brats or creampuffs? What the French?!?!
get the to try some of U.K. foods it will confuse them I'm used to them
No brats?
I'm a native Wisconsinite and I have no idea what a herring rollmop is, but I wouldn't eat that shit either.
where the kringles lehmans
+erik hanneman worst ever! o&h!
An old fashion is hardly a "Wisconsin food".
Pickled herring is fairly common, herring "rollmops" not so much.
What about brats? Or lefse? Or aebleskivers?
I've lived in WI my entire life and I don't know anyone who has ever eaten herring rollmops - I never even heard of it before this video!!! What a terrible thing to have people try. How about a good Bratwurst or something?! SMH ...
Dont worry guys I dont think many people like the herring
Cheese head here and I drink a lot of old fashions from brandy to whiskey and I have never seen one of those stupid umbrellas in one before. Bad move whoever put that in them.
#dubs :)
yes I agree disappointed ..... you did not do your research on true Wisconsin food.... you need to eat fresh cheese curds to feel the squeak in your mouth not fried.... kringles and brandy old fashions you can get any where..... yes how about a brat with sour kraught ........ head cheese... punchka's jelly filled dough nut .. with prunes.... a good Friday night fish fry..... there are many more ...... do better research plz
Debbie Johnson Kringle is only in Racine and nearby areas.
They have kringle here in Michigan too. Must be an upper Midwest thing.
Wow they were so disgusted by the picked herring it's a good thing they didn't have to try Lutefisk.
These are adults? Twelve year olds in bigger bodies. How do we know? Since when does one find cocktail umbrellas in a Brandy Old Fashioned? Hell, my ten year old kids had more manners when tasting new food than these twits. Oh, and yes, I HAVE had every single one of these Wisconsin treats, and a few more that didn't make the list.
why are u people soo against wisconsin?
HORRIBLE VIDEO
I have lived in wisconsin for 22 years and still do
1. we dont care nor do i even know what a kringle is.
2. herring rollmops are not popular, never had one nor have i even been offered one
3. beer cheese soup i have never been offered or heard of
you were dead on about cheese curds and brandy old fashioned but you left out a lot of real popular wisconsin food. u didnt even mention creampuffs, i mean seriously lol.
MrCoreyp1989 Kringle is invented, and pretty much only in Racine, Wisconsin. Herring Rolls are mostly in SE or SW Wisconsin, Beer cheese soup is from Milwaukee and Greenbay (also in Minnesota).
Creampuffs are most popular in the midwest, but are still located almost everywhere in the US.
I don't know where you live but I grew up in Milwaukee and live in LaCrosse area now been in Wisconsin for most of my 44 years and every one knows beer cheese soup and kringle. Every bakery sells kringle, nearly every restaurant sells beer cheese soup in the winter. As for herring rollups? No never heard of them, but grew up eating herring, pickled and fried.
