Thanks for the warning, Bart.  Will do, or rather, will not do.

OMG.  That made me laugh. 

Don't have a postcard of it, but how about Turkey?   Check out the The Turkey Roost

It's still pink but they no longer have live turkey penned up out front just to creep you out as you enter...................

No need to be troubled - the White Fish referenced is Coregonus clupeaformis     No vagueness at all - just deliciousness

However. this is the place to get it - caught daily by the Chippewa.
Ok, I am mollified. I was thinking I was going to get into a situation where one gets fake Cod, for example, with the what-I-thought was a generic 'white fish' labeling. I stand corrected. Sounds tasty.

Walleye, per K_Dubb comments, is very good also. As is other perch up there. By the way were those Chippewas involved in the "Walleye Wars" like there brethren sometimes called another name in Wisconsin

You know, I bet if you took some good cheap rye like Old Overholt or something and put a few caraway seeds in for maybe a week, it'd pass without a murmur.

Oh my god nøkkelost akavit I just thought of it!  Whole cloves and untoasted cumin seeds.

In parts of Scadanavia due to taxes lots of people import via ferry duty-free stuff from abroad or make their own moonshine-style booze or make their own flavoring for the stuff. The Salmiakki licorice for example steeped in cheap vodka is something the kids do (not kids, but, high school/college) I'm told. I think Iceland actually sells a commercial produce. Think a Jagermeister-like flavor but with more salt, aluminum chloride salt, not table salt. An acquired taste.

AFAIK they are all Ojibwe but different bands. I know there has been some minor friction in Michigan but nothing like what you referenced
there.   That's cheese heads for you, I guess.  Looks as if the State of Michigan DNR does have to remind some to mellow out:

This is an old postcard.  No date on it but I think that one cent Ben Franklin stamp was produced from 1910 to 1911.

@2Lord2Grantham  Yet you still draw breath and walk the earth!    Just kidding.  It's nice food but to be honest it's over priced
and not worth fighting off the mob of Fudgies.   Now Kern's Sausages is Da Bomb!  A must if you are in Frankenmuth.

I've been stuck in here in Raleigh forever and really miss a decent sausage.   They just have these horrid little red bastards down

This place had some good sausage and surprisingly good frankfurters.

This place was also good. You have to love when you visit two meat markets the same day.

https://www.nueskes.com/about/wittenberg-company-store/  (hint, have the free rootbeer, friggin awesome.)

I should've bought a postcard so this would remain on subject, sorry for derailing again....

Poor Rix.  Those look good but they're in Wisconsin.   No help here in Dixie.   Once in awhile I'll have some of the Good Stuff shipped down

Don't worry, boys.  We're not off topic.
