When I started doing these blogs I thought how interesting these holidays might be. Little did I know I would be writing one about cheese balls. I do like cheese balls, but there’s not much to say about them. They are made out of cheese and in a ball shape. Depending on what you add to them they can be either healthy or not, crunchy or silky, served with meat or without.
You can use practically any kind of cheese, make it spicy or mild and serve it with vegetables, crackers, pretzels, fruit, bread, well… just about anything you can imagine. No one knows when the first cheese ball was made, or where, but my best guess is that as soon as cavemen realized how to make cheese, the cheese ball came into being. It’s meant to be dipped into, peeled away but never cut. To cut the cheese would be rude. There are many recipes for cheeseballs. Depending on your taste of cheese some will be wonderful, others… maybe not. So what really separates one cheese ball from the next? Aside from the flavors, it is what they look like. Below are a few samples I found that at least amused me.
Obviously the cheese ball can be used to celebrate any holiday, even the weird and bizarre. In fact, you really don’t even need for there to be a holiday to enjoy a cheese ball. Again, Congress did not declare the day and no president ran on a cheese ball platform to get elected. (They have their own kind of cheese anyway.)
So how do you celebrate? Well, make one of the recipes supplied above. Create your own recipe remembering you really can use anything to make your cheese ball. Or find a party to go to and take them a cheese ball, even if it’s just because you want one yourself.
