I went to a "do" the other day and there were these "things" on the buffet table. They seemed to be sticks of pastry mixed with cheese. I was told that they were called cheese straws. A confection that I had been blissfully unaware of before. They seemed to be 70% fat 25% salt and 5% water. A family of six could live off one for a month. Never again.

Properly made cheese straws with good strong cheese and some black pepper mixed in are excellent. Personally I pride myself on my home made 'jumbo' sausage rolls which are far from strange and revolting. Shown next to a mobile phone for scale and made using this recipe.

You are a cruel, cruel man. You do get some strange and to my mind terrible things cropping up on buffet tables. Cheese straws was a new horror to me, but this is an old enemy. The dreaded cheese ball.

oh dear god no you simply expend/discharge the "safe" spring loaded party poppers then rearm the spring mechanism and fill the chamber with cheese balls/cheese chunks/jam doughnuts (the small ones)/whatever you can find that'll fit preferably nothing that can cause too much damage. Then simply squeeze the trigger or however your particular spring loaded party popper works and viola instant "Cheese Gun of Doom" TM, Patent Pending, All Rights Reserved
