Stuffed Food

I need to give a shout out to the great inventors of the world. Those being the men and women who invented stuffed or filled food. I don't mean tacos and things of that sort... I'm talking about the good stuff- the food that you don't know whats in it until you bite in yourself. Typically, these goodness-filled foods also end up being the best foods in buffet lines.

Every culture has them. The Chinese have dumplings and egg rolls, the Lebanese have kibbi and the Greeks have grape leaves. Personally, Italians are the luckiest with ravioli, tortellini, arancini, spedini, and I could go on but I wouldn't want to brag. Of course, many of these foods originate in one place and are then shared with the world and adapted in all sorts of new ways, but that's a different blog.

Anyway I just wanted to share my appreciation with the world and get all the readers to venerate stuffed foods, whether your grandma made it or it came frozen from a bag.

Im getting side tracked here, but maybe I should apply for a job writing commercials for the Olive Garden when I graduate. By the looks of it, they have a lot of cheese-filled pasta that I could "riff" about all day long.

Until next time, Peace Love and Stuffed Food.
