Sicilian Invasion

MEALS.01-17-11
Blue Monday: the most depressing day of the year.
So being the genius I was, I decided to cheer up the office by taking them on a field trip to BOSA Foods. Browsing through their deli aisle, the balls caught my attention...lol (commence dirty jokes, NOW)



Okay, okay! The full name is Arancini Siciliani Stuffed Rice Balls, but the sound of Sicilian Balls is just more appealing...don't question me.

These balls of heavenly goodness consist of seasoned rice, stuffed with beef, veggies, tomatoe sauce. It tastes like it's been in the deep fryer (everything tastes better after they been through the deep fryer), and coated with bread crumbs and some seasoning.


They go for $4.99 per ball, which is enough to buy you a lunch meal elsewhere...but, balls like that, you don't see everyday. So I decided to give these puppies a try.

I wasn't too hungry, and with just one ball, it was enough for lunch. I did find it a little bit on the saltier side though? My coworker mentioned something about Sicilians being big on their flavors...so I don't know...

Regardless, I had a ball (yes I know, I'm clever) eating this =D

Winnie-OUT!

  1. I hope you thought of me while you munched on one! I was in Sicily a couple of days ago, and I can confirm they're one of the most amazing things on the planet.

    If you ever get a chance to buy a 'Canole', do so. It's the dessert equivalent of the Arancino in terms of yumminess.
