This discussion reminds me of Rochester, home of The Garbage Plate:
I don't even want to know what's in it!
And of course the shame of Québec, Poutine:
You have to be drunk to enjoy this mixture of French fries, cheese curds and gravy...

Hmm. Can't say I've ever had french fries with cheese curds (cottage cheese?) and gravy, but french fries with melted cheese and gravy are pretty good! :D
Of course, the melted "cheese" has to be Velveeta, or Cheese Wiz, or something perfectly awful like that. ;D

From Wikipedia: Cheese curds are the fresh curds of cheese, often cheddar. They are generally available in retail stores operated at cheese factories throughout the countries of Canada and the United States (especially in USA's Upstate New York, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Canada's provinces of Ontario, and Quebec, where they can be found in many grocery stores.) Cheese curds are little-known in locations without cheese factories, because they should ideally be eaten within hours of manufacture.
Their flavor is mild with about the same firmness as cheese, but has a springy or rubbery texture. Fresh curds squeak against the teeth when bitten into, which some would say is their defining characteristic. Cheese curds are sometimes referred to as "Squeaky cheese." They are sometimes somewhat salty. The American variety are usually yellow or orange in color, like most American cheddar cheese. Other varieties, such as the Québécois and New York variety, can be roughly the same color as white cheddar cheese.

Speaking of cheddar cheese, that is one thing I am craving (and can't find) here in Europe. Right now, before dinner, a few Triscuits and cheddar cheese, with a glass of wine...hmmmm, nice end to the day.
