Do you have custard stands where you are? Probably not. I wouldn't have been surprised to find that they were strictly midwestern, but they don't seem to have any in Minneapolis. I've never even seen any in Chicago. Everybody loves to go down and get a huge cone of frozen custard. All the stands follow the same pattern: chocolate and vanilla, with one additional flavor of the day. Most places have several dozen flavors they offer on a rotating basis. Every flavor you can imagine and then some. Butter pecan, chocolate raspberry, peanut butter cup, toffee crunch, seven C's, pumpkin pie (on Thanksgiving), you name it. Most of these places do burgers too, and they're usually big ones. Maybe that's why Wisconsinites are so fat...

I just found a place called Custardlist.com. They have a comprehensive listing of all the custard stands in the country (who care to list). They show stands in twenty states. Aside from Culver's (a regional chain of fast food restaurants) no state has more than four custard places - except Wisconsin, which has fifty-three. Kopp's, Kitt's, Oscar's, Leon's (notice a pattern to the names?), Gille's...

One of our biggest local dealers is Kopp's. Notice they ship. ;-) My favorite (and where I just went for a chocolate cone) is Hefner's.
