I just assumed it was a ball of rice ?

Also I really liked Allyson's original post, so much so that I'm going to use it in caption of the day. I haven't looked at it yet, and have no idea what the photo is but here goes nothing.

It is the most delicious item of food the world has ever seen. It is indeed a ball of rice, mixed with cheese to hold it together, with sauce and meat and vegetables at the core, and deep fried. It's an Italian thing and it's relatively difficult to find. Yummm.
