squeak cheese
My husband is from northern NY. The first time I visited the area his family had cheese curds and Hoffman Hots with natural casings proudly waiting on us like it was caviar and blinis. For a girl from the coalfields in the foothills of the Appalachiain Mountains of Virginia this was a real treat. I call the cheese curds "squeaky cheese" and the hotdogs "snappers" because of the sound they make in your mouth...delicious. Although I must say it isn't as good as brown beans and corn bread with a glass of cold buttermilk; which are standards where I was raised.
