Your university is justifiably known for its cheese

But M-State's mastery of the cow was even more obviously on display in the frozen crack I got yesterday from The State Fountain.

I like my ice cream to be as plain, white and cold as the average Spirit poster's wife...so you wouldn't think that anything I got from the Fountain would be exceedingly memorable. However, I was talking about this cone all the way to Artesia.

We who frequent the Groooove like to think that Oxford has Mississippi's culinary market cornered. When it comes to dairy products, however, Oxford is to Starkville as the Chunky River is to the Seine.

The reason our dairy products are so good is actually the crack that is included.

no one here even knows what the hell a muscadine is.

Muscadine is best used for homemade wine. Gallons in my youth, gallons.

Two gallons of wine made from it in my pantry. Came from the same vines on the back 80 that great grandad picked them to make his wine. so at least one of us does!

of MSU made muscadine wine at Christmas from some professor buddy of his. I have no idea if they make it anymore.

They used to make muscadine wine and merlot from the grapes from the little vineyard on North Farm. They would send bottles out as gifts, since they couldn't sell them (I could be wrong here). Story goes that Cal-Davis turned them into the ATF for some kind of violation. So they don't anymore, and just sell muscadine juice.
(and my parents thought taking wine appreciation was a waste)

I actually worked at the dairy plant for a couple semesters while at State. The free ice cream was the best part.
