Piggly Wiggly on Nov. 2 announced it agreed to purchase the stores at 575 Swan Road, in De Pere, and 300 E. Ann St., in Kaukauna effective Jan. 31.

People Drive Out Of Their Way For The Fresh Meat At This Wisconsin Butcher Shop

A butcher shop that calls itself the maker of a famous five-foot summer sausage deserves your full attention. Five feet. That is taller than plenty of sixth graders. The sausage is only the opening act. This old-fashioned shop also stocks thirteen kinds of bacon and twelve flavors of snack sticks.

7 St. Martin's Day Dishes German and Dutch Families Cooked in the Midwest

I use AI to help draft these articles. Every recipe and every fact in them is checked before publishing. November 11 was St. Martin's Day, Martinmas on the old calendars, and in parts of the German-speaking world, the Rhineland above all, it meant a lantern walk at dusk. Children carried paper lanterns with a candle inside, sang the Martin songs, and often followed a rider in a red cloak playing the saint who cut his own coat in half for a freezing beggar. German immigrants to Wisconsin, Ohio and Michigan brought the day's food with them, and German clubs and schools in the Midwest still hold lantern walks today. The harvest was in, the first hard frost had come and gone, and the supper waiting at home afterward was the last big feast before Advent.
