Travel Eats ~ Wisconsin State Fair “Cream Puff”

Heard on NPR weekend edition spun a great culinary thread. Wisconsin State fair for cream puffs.

The iconic cream puff is sold at the fair and is 94 years in the making. There is a cream puff hotline to pre-order.  the story starts as “proudly going where everyone else has gone before”.  love it. It is told in the middle of the cream puff pavilion. “Wisconsin is a dairy state” and the cream is what sells about 400,000 cream puffs at the fair. The for my self – the hook was the description of the inside the cream puff pavilion into the industrial kitchen. The industrial production  of baking puffs (pate a choux ) and hand filling the “mid-western cream”(hmm..what is mid-western cream?).

The customers described many ways of eating the giant cream puff…. I liked ignore getting sticky. get messy and get “all in”.

Travel eats has the Wisconsin State Fair for Cram puff as a must experience. The Cream Puffs of Wisconsin is a great listen on NPR.
