To help guarantee a market for all this excellent apple-pie cheese,
the Wisconsin State Legislature made a law about it, recognizing the
truth of Eugene Field's jingle:

Apple pie without cheese
Is like a kiss without a squeeze.

Small matter in the Badger State when the affinity is made legal and
the couple lawfully wedded in Statute No. 160,065. It's still in
force:

_Butter and cheese to be served._ Every person, firm or
corporation duly licensed to operate a hotel or restaurant shall
serve with each meal for which a charge of twenty-five cents or
more is made, at least two-thirds of an ounce of Wisconsin butter
and two-thirds of an ounce of Wisconsin cheese.

Besides Longhorn, Wisconsin leads in Limburger. It produces so much
Swiss that the state is sometimes called Swissconsin.
