The Foods All Northerners Must Eat Before They Die
What makes the list for you? It can be anything from the classic (pan-fried morels) to the questionable (venison, hit by a car off season and hauled home in the trunk) to the super-specific (A Weathervane Bloody Mary, made with pickled asparagus juice, sipped while watching the drawbridge go up).
Pickled fish, sour cherry pie, Moomers black walnut ice cream, fried smelt, maple syrup, Art's Tavern chicken jalapeño soup, Baroni's spaghetti sauce...

Refreshing!
Here's my favorite way to drink it:)
True North Moscow Mule
2 ounces True North vodka
1 ounce fresh lime juice
4 ounces ginger beer (try Stewart's)
Lime wedge for garnish
Stir vodka and juice together well in a glass. Add fresh ice and top with ginger beer. Garnish with a lime wedge.

I didn't see Pleva's cherry bratwursts or the Chubby Mary on the deck at the Cove (called Rick's Cafe) in Fishtown Leland. A Bloody Mary with a smoked chub in it--totally northern.

The place with the pretzel bread in Leland is The Cheese Shanty-and I second that!! So many of these are on my list, and many others to try! A few I haven't seen...broasted chicken and strawberry or raspberry pie at Fischer's Happy Hour!!
