Funny Name: Keeping it Light

Do you ever get tired of appetizers just being so serious, like consequential crab cakes or downbeat deviled eggs or brooding buffalo wings? Well, Frederica Fare (Parents Association of Frederica Academy, St. Simons Island, Georgia, 1977) has the perfect counterpoint!

  1. Frivolité is the French word for tatting. At first I thought that maybe these would look lacey. Then I see that you grate up a lacey cheese and roll it into marbles to fry. I don't think that this is a misspelled reference to a lacey appearance.

    1. Unlikely, but maybe the deep frying gives the outside a lacy appearance? Or maybe the term has multiple meanings? (Probably the contributor just liked the sound of the name.)
