My dh is originally from WI, and one time we were up visiting his family and dh announced he was going to get some cheese curds. The kids and I looked at him like he was crazy, convinced we weren't trying whatever he was going on about.
Then he bought some, and we gobbled them down, they were delicious! Now everytime he gets a load to WI, (truck driver in his civilian life) we remind him to get cheese curds.
Run A Muck, that was really thoughtful of you to send your dh some curds. I'm sure he appreciated a "taste of home" so far away.
