Mackinac Island Fudge is the best!Mackinac Island Fudge.
Havent heard of the first two. Whenever I go “up north”, ie northern Minnesota which has sort of the same ethnic mix as parts of South Dakota, I always looks for bakeries that have Potica, a sweet bread that is made of fine layers of walnut/honey and dough that is rolled into a loaf. Do they have that in SD?Kuchen and chislic. Or poffertjes and pankoeken. Or lutefisk and lefse. Or. . .haha, Southeastern SD is kinda where a bunch of different cultures collide.
But kuchen and chislic are the Official state dessert and snack. I get chislic every time I'm at an event with food vendors, kuchen is a little harder to come by. Although usually the local grocery stores sell it around Christmas, or if you can find a bake sale or benefit auction.
It all sounds really delicious. Northern Minnesota is heavily Slavic, German culture, with some Norwegian, Finn and Swedish in the mix. Some spectacular food and deserts up there.Probably somewhere but I don't think I've had it.
Chislic is deep-fried (but not breaded) meat cubes, medium-rare. It's supposed to be lamb/mutton but some people make it with beef (blasphemy!). On a stick or not. No seasoning except a bit of garlic salt added at the eater's discretion. Very yummy.
Kuchen is a little vague because it's just the German word for cake, so every family has their own recipe. But the most common is a bread "crust" with a custard topping and fruit on top of that.
so it is true then my friend from your state bragged to me about that fudge already beforeMackinac Island Fudge.
I didn't even know they had poffertjes and pannekoeken elsewhere! That's actually super cool to hearKuchen and chislic. Or poffertjes and pankoeken. Or lutefisk and lefse. Or. . .haha, Southeastern SD is kinda where a bunch of different cultures collide.
