Is it really illegal to serve apple pie without cheese in Wisconsin?

[raccoon]

On Young & Restless, they SAID it was....

1. ha ha

I saw that too. And I wondered as well. I watch Y&R everyday. Hasn't been very good lately, though.

[raccoon]

2. Should be good today--I hear Victor and Jack are going to dig up Adam's supposed grave. nt

[bigwillq]

3. Yeah, I saw that on the previews

It's just be so inconsistent lately. 2009 was terrible but they recovered a bit at the start of 2010 and now it's a mess again.

4. It should be illegal to serve it ANYWHERE without cheddar. (nt)

16. +1

20. If that were the case, I would be breaking the law every time I served it.

Ick. I can't stomach cheddar cheese with anything sweet.

5. I grew up in Wisconsin, and truth to tell I was in high school before I heard of cheese on apple pie

It's not a tradition over all the state, that's for sure.

What should be illegal is serving apple pie in Wisconsin without also including a night of sex with one's choice of Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst, Sandra Bullock, or Reese Witherspoon (or male equivalents for the females/gay men). Just sayin'.

6. apparently you just don't eat at the right restaraunts...

every time I order apple pie, Jake Gyllenhal brings it out on a silver platter, naked (Jake, not the platter)

7. Son of a gun. The closest I ever got was Abe Vigoda smothered in coffee grounds and egg shells

when I ordered a fish fry in Waubesha.

11. I had a similar experience at the turtle races in Athelstane...

only it was Jack Soo covered in honey and peanut shells

18. I remember attending the famous exploding cow festival of Mandalay

with Bea Arthur in a backwards hospital gown doing things with Gary Coleman that until then I would have said were impossible, according to the laws of physics as I knew them then.

8. I worked in a lot of restaurants in Wisconsin,

and I was usually in charge of desserts. I think I served less than 5% of apple pie slices with cheese. Maybe it's regional, but if it is, it's not in central or south central Wisconsin. Maybe a Milwaukee thing?

Anyway, it's not illegal, unless it's like some obscure sodomy laws that never get off the books. For that matter, I'm pretty sure you can't sodomize a slice of apple pie, cheese or not.

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Oh, yes you CAN INDEED sodomize a piece of apple pie! Trust me on that one.

But don't ask me about it.

:scared:

15. Don't ask, don't tell?

Maybe some day there will be a time when you can be open about your lust for apple pie...

9. I grew up in Michigan

but my mother always said," Apple pie without some cheese is like a hug without a squeeze."

12. My family was from NY state and my mom said the same. n/t

13. Dumb Wisconsin laws:

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/144788/dumb_wisconsin_laws.html

"State Law made it illegal to serve apple pie in public restaurants without cheese."

I've read that on several other sites as well. Growing up in Wisconsin in the 1950s and 60s I can remember when it was illegal to sell colored margarine (it was until 1967, WI was the last state to allow the sale of colored margarine). When I was a kid I can remember it being smuggled into the state from Iowa.

Also, it was illegal to serve margarine in restaurants for many years.

Here are some others listed for my city:

La Crosse

It is illegal to tie up your horse along Third Street (Now a major bar strip).

It is illegal to display an unclothed mannequin in a store window.

It is illegal to play checkers in public.

You cannot "worry a squirrel".

14. "It is illegal to play checkers in public." Huh? WTF??

Are they afraid that someone might jump their opponent??

:evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

19. Egads! I didn't know that. I've "worried the squirrel" many a time in the LaCrosse area...

especially when I was a teenager.
