Now, my grandmother and mother fried small pieces (they weren't balls because I don't think they had a regular shape) of pizza dough, but we would put powdered sugar on them. We called them pizza fritta. We never had them as anything but dessert.
And then there are the other fried dough balls that you put honey and sprinkles on. My one grandmother called them struffoli, but the other called them something else, but I can't remember what. SB, My grandmother made what sounds like you are describing here. We called it Sfinghi (sp). We all looked forward to it for the holidays.  TIS

Hmmm interesting SB. I am familiar with the St. Joseph's Day celebration but I can't say what you pictured looks real familiar.  I know there are different receipes for sfinghi. I guess we should conclude that there must be different variations hu???? When I go back to see my parents, I'll ask them if they know different receipes/variations. TIS

Hey that is 2 agreements in one day. We are on a roll now. The question is, is it a freshly baked roll or one that you take out of your freezer and nuke it?

I'm not a big sweets person, nor fast food fan, but I can tell you that I love a good hot dog from nathans, a roast beef from arby's with curly fries, and maybe once in awhile some white castle... oh, and for breakfast, maybe taylor ham, but any of these items only get around to once a year... thankfully lol

And they're baked by elves.
Are those the only cookies you tried in college?

Wasn't there also a Taxi episode when one of the characters (Latka maybe?) was making his "secret" recipe of something, and it turned out the secret ingredient was Cocaine??? Another classic. Alex takes two bites, sits down and writes an opera. I love that show too!! Even though Reverend Jim was my favorite character, here's a "food" tidbit (kind of) from Latka while in his "Vince Ferrari" character. He walked into the kitchen where simpka (his girlfriend) was making dinner. Vince struts in, takes a whiff and says, "what died in here?" Ok, back to chocolate fondue? What is it SB? TIS
