From time to time Mission President and Sister Cutler write a list of some of the things they’ve noticed about Wisconsin, here is their latest:

• Frozen custard abounds. A popular chain here is Culver's and their fast food (including custard, of course) is actually quite good. The Butter Burger is their specialty. We ate there for the first time yesterday and I had the Cranberry Bacon Bleu Salad with Grilled Chicken - yummy. We hear there's a Culver's in Orem, Utah now. Try it!
• If I could write a Wisconsin accent, I would. The best example I can think of is that they say "bag" like "beg". Would you like a beg for your groceries? And they say we have Utah accents! What is a Utah accent?
• Unique words: A "bubbler" is a drinking fountain. A "rummage" is a garage sale. I heard from the missionaries that traffic lights are called "stop and go" lights.
• A local brewery, Sprecher's (pronounced Sprekker's), makes really good root beer. It only comes in brown glass bottles and it's fizzier and less sweet than most other root beer. 
• I never realized that it was mostly the Germans and Polish that settled in Wisconsin. A lot of last names are tricky to spell and pronounce. For example, one family that joined the Church and recently went to the temple is named Bartosiewicz. President Cutler's new counselor is President Krehbiel.
• I've seen signs that say "Ski area" but there's not a mountain in sight, not even a bump. They don't exist in Wisconsin.
