You’ve still got plenty of wonderful years ahead of you. But before you kick the bucket, you need to consume these Wisconsin dishes. And if you want a lot of wonderful years ahead of you, you might want to do it in moderation.

  1. Cream puff

David Lopez/FLickr It’s hard to believe that these things have only been around since 1924. But they’ve been a favorite ever since, and are wildly popular at the Wisconsin state fair.

  1. Brats

  1. Kringle

  1. Brandy Old Fashioned

Krista/Flickr Whether you’re drinking a true old fashioned or an old fashioned cocktail, as long as you’re drinking it at a wonderful supper club, you’ll be just fine.

  1. Blue Moon Ice Cream

Steven Depolo/Flickr What flavor is blue moon? Is it almond? Fruity? Each ice cream parlor has its own way of doing it. Try them all!

  1. Butter Burger

Thamy Cavassani/Flickr The key to a great butter burger is no secret: butter. You definitely look for a crispy, toasted bun and wonderfully tender meat.

  1. Fried Cheese Curds

Connie Ma/Flickr The best way to eat these is mixed. A delicate breading is definitely preferred.

  1. Frozen Custard

  1. Paczki

@joefoodie/Flickr A food with Polish origin that is most famous on Fat Tuesday, Wisconsinites go crazy for these sweet treats.

  1. Pasty

Kathryn Yengel/Flickr These dough pockets are filled with meats and veggies and are kinda like a pot pie married a calzone.

  1. Beer Cheese Soup

Cristina/Flickr High quality beer can truly elevate this dish. Fun fact: this soup was actually served for breakfast in medieval Europe.

I definitely would not recommend trying to eat these all in one sitting.
