In the post-Change world, emerging from the worst mass famine ever, nobody treats it casually.S.M.

Midwestern, specifically southwestern Wisconsin, heavily influenced by German and Scandinavian cuisine, with a dash of Polish.<br /><br />"Cheesehead" is a local nickname for people from Wisconsin, btw., because Wisconsin produces a -lot- of cheese.S.M.
