Cheese curd

Cheese curds are moist pieces of curdled milk, eaten either alone as a snack, or used in prepared dishes.

[2] Most varieties, as in Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Vermont, or New York State, are naturally uncoloured.

They may be served alone, dressed with an additional flavor, or with another food, such as a small smoked sausage or piece of cured pork, with the elements skewered together on a toothpick.

Minnesota style deep-fried cheese curds are covered with a batter similar to one used for onion rings, and placed in a deep fryer.

It consists of french fries topped with fresh cheese curds, covered with brown gravy and sometimes additional ingredients.
