I've indulged in them a few times, and think that from what I've read in your recipe that these ingredients are the reason why they are so popular! I'm a huge fan of 'goldfish' mini-crackers myself, so this recipe must be truly addictive, Val! Cheese straws have a strong presence on luncheon and holiday buffets here in the South; not only Southern magazines, but in also every Souuhern cookbook published! I can see why!Roz | La Bella Vita Cucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213914189813413673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-46492916678313951552012-03-05T09:38:29.868-08:002012-03-05T09:38:29.868-08:00Another wonderful post and another great cook!
