mozzies

So, I was wrapping up a light dinner of tomato salad, half a roast chicken, roasted potatoes, zucchini and summer squash and a piece of blackberry pie with ice cream, when I started thinking about mozzarella sticks (also: stix.) Specifically, how, if presented with some, I would gladly eat them.


Then I thought of this hilarious snack notion. Could you imagine being at a fancy restaurant and having the waiter come out and say "and now for the cheese course, MOZZARELLA STICKS." I am laughing-out loud-right now thinking about this. Wouldn't you love to end a satisfying meal with a crispy, gooey stick of fried cheese?

Please, please, please read the wikipedia entry for mozzarella sticks. Here is a preview to whet your beak: "Mozzarella sticks, sometimes called mozza sticks, mozzies, cheese sticks, fried mozzarella, are rectangular or cylindrical pieces of battered or breaded mozzarella cheese."
