Just to clear up the online discussion...the line was "cheese curds", not "cheese carrots" when Hurley wakes up.
It's a Wisconsin thing, and oddly enough during our podcast for episode #610 that we recorded while in Wisconsin for Xmas, we mention cheese curds quite a bit.
One of the writers of the epi, Adam Horowitz, went to UW-Madison so I guess he was just reminiscing about the fantastic wonders that are cheese curds.
I miss Wisconsin,

i <3 cheese curds.
Being from northern illinois i brought some back to mississippi to introduce my peeps down here to the wonder! they feel in love at first taste!
you know your christmas is good when you get to visit a cheese castle!
I thought it was "cheese curls" one of my favorite junk foods. By the way that GJB logo would make a cool tee shirt. Love the show.
Cheese curds are the best! I grew up on the North Shore of Lake Superior here in Canada, on the Canada Minnesota border. I am all too familiar with those delicious curds. Mmmm I miss them.
I heard cheese curds when he spoke. Mmmm, yummy squeaky cheese curds!
You guys are awesome and I love your podcast!
I thought that was a awesome Wisco shout out. Also your UW shirt in your grilling pics was rad aswell. "Wisco Represent"(Milwaukee myself) Mummmm deep fried cheese curds! I just drooled all-over the west coast.
I didn't know cheese curds were a Wisconsin thing, though that makes sense. I always get them when I go to Penn State's main campus. The smoked bacon-cheddar ones are the best...
If you have never had cheese curds, come to the Syttendme Mai festival in this dinky little Wisconsin town called stoughton in may. It could pretty much be called beer and cheese curd festival.
oh I thought it was cheese curls actually, ya know cheesy puffy chips?
I was going to say ditto to missing Wisconsin but, I really think I just miss the cheese curds. And Summerfest, Irish Fest, Door County ... ok I miss Wisconsin in the summertime & cheese curds.
cheese curds and gravy on your french fries and you have entered the wonderful land of poutine!
fried cheese curds are unspeakably amazing. But not something you want to eat every day. I think I'll go get some for lunch. Yeah, I'm a 'Sconnie
SQUEEKY FREAKING CHEESE MAN!!!
I love the way cheese curds make your teeth squeak when you chew them.
I grew up in Hayward, and I love cheddar cheese curds (fried and unfried). I can't say I miss Wisconsin that much, but I definitely miss the best cheddar cheese in the world and bratwurst.
My fiancé and I live in Madison. We loved the reference on the episode!
Mmm cheese curds! This episode made me hungry. I bet I probably mutter "cheese curds" in my sleep too :)
My hometown is in WI, so whenever I drove that way, I stop at the Mars Cheese Castle to stock up.
That sounds yummy. I never heard of that until "Dr. Linus."
Ha Mars Cheese Castle, thats always my landmark coming up 94 to tell me I'm almost home. Their way to expensive though, I just hit up a pick 'n save cheese isle(yes non Wisco folks they have a whole isle dedicated to cheese, not just a part of the dairy isle)
did you compare weather reports for hawaii and wisconsin?....
Sarsafrass.. I'm originally from Quebec. The thing I miss the most is a decent poutine. For some reason, people outside Quebec don't understand what it takes to make a decent poutine.
I'm a student at UW-Madison and my hometown is not to far from here. When I was a freshman I remember having cheese curds with people from out of state. They thought it sounded weird/gross, but after the first bite they were hooked!
On our first podcast my cohost mentioned this. We're from Wisconsin too, so we're getting a kick out of these replies.
I couldn't believe it when I heard Hurley say "cheese curds". My friend Brandon, who grew up in Wisconsin, is the only person I've ever heard talk about cheese curds, and he was practically obsessed with them at one time. And we were both logged onto IRC while watching that LOST episode, and he got pretty excited at that part!
Like Sarsafrass said, cheese curds are practically a dairy staple in most of Quebec and parts of Ontario, in Canada. They are so yummy! My dad and I have mapped out which cheesemakers make the best ones in our area. We're crazy.
BTW, I love the podcast!
I LOVE CHEESE CURDS! Especially fried!
I had never had them before, being from Ohio, but went up to WI last february and experienced them and got hooked!
Luckily A&W around these parts sells them, way expensive, but i am willing to pay the price for the fried cheesy goodness!!! (though the ones in Wisconsin are WAY better!!)
LOVE CHEESECURDS!:) They were a hit at Kokua Fest in 2008!
