5368. Have a brat from Miesfeld's Triangle Market

 In case you didn't know, I am all about bucket lists and to do lists. I saw there was a new 100 Things to Do in Wisconsin book out last year. I was going to buy it but decided to check it out from the library instead. One of the things in the book was "Eat a Sheboygan Brat at Miesfield's." Andrea was like don't bother. They are disgusting. I still wanted to make up my own mind.

I asked the hubby if he wanted me to pick up Sheboygan Hard Rolls since I was literally driving by Miesfield's on my way to Andrea's for Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. He said no but to get some beef sticks. He wanted to try them. I figured I was there I should pick up some brats for lunch. Worst case scenario they were as disgusting as Andrea said they were and I'd have to find something else for lunch or mix them with noodles.

According to their website, they have 25 types of brats. I only saw 2 but I was in a hurry and didn't really look. I'm sure they did. I got the Grand Champion Brats. They were $4.49/lb I think. They looked really good.

They came wrapped in plastic and then butcher paper.

I tossed them in the air fryer for 8 minutes. The hubby likes his brats boiled. Ugh.. gross. I preferred grilling them. The air fryer is a close second.. I can get a good grill taste without grilling them. 

I didn't eat them right away and stuck them in the fridge for 2 days. Meal prep at it's finest.

I reheated one of the brats in the microwave for about 45 seconds. Usually I don't have a bun with my brat at lunch unless we have brat buns. I just cut it up and dip in ketchup (or mix with noodles). 

Verdict -- I ate almost the entire brat without noticing. It really didn't have a strong flavor which the hubby will like. I did get some flavor towards the end. I think they are just fine. It almost reminds of a brat I would find at a baseball game. I also will be curious if it tastes any different eating it fresh from the air fryer or not.

I would definitely get them again... along with the bacon and beef sticks. 

I would have to agree with Danielle Gay, the author of 101 Things to Do In Wisconsin, you should definitely try a Miesfield brat unless of course you grew up on true Sheboygan brats then maybe not. I will continue to try various brats throughout the state as each meat market has it's unique flavor of a simple brat. 

Sampling the goods at Miesfeld's Triangle Market

 While planning our Sheboygan adventure, I saw that there was a book signing at Miesfeld's Triangle Market in Sheboygan for the new Wisconsin Bucket List book. I told Andrea we should go. I would love to have a copy of the book.

Miesfeld's Triangle Market is located off of Hwy 42 in Sheboygan. It is open Monday-Friday 8-5:30 and 5 8-3 on Saturdays. It is a local meat market that carries a few other staples and alcohol.

We did not buy any meat so I can't tell you how their brats are. Andrea is not a fan but I'm still willing to try them.

The Wisconsin Bucket List book did not look all that exciting. It was rather thin so we skipped the book signing.

If we skipped the meats and the book signing? What did we do? We sampled various products. They have product sampling almost every week. It's like Costco but better. These are local products.

We started off with some cheese by The Little Brown Cow Cheese -- a small local dairy. The cheese was very good. Andrea picked some up. I had enough cheese from our cheese dealer that I had to pass on getting more. I would totally buy some in the future though.

We then samples some beef. It was amazing. The seasoning was delicious. The hubby wouldn't care for it so I didn't buy any but Andrea did.

The last thing we sampled was Old Fashions in a can. Day drinking is what we do best. The Brandy Sweet tasted just like brandy old fashion sweet even for these SoCo Old Fashion Drinking Gals.

I did buy some hard rolls. I couldn't really not buy Sheboygan hard rolls at a market in Sheboygan. The hubby was very happy when I brough those home.

If you are in the Sheboygan area, definitely check out Miesfield's especially on a Saturday when you can potentially find food and drink samples. I will definitely be back to try some of the meat products and sample more goodies.
