I'd never heard of arancini, and I wondered if that
might be a made-up word. In any event, they are little balls of rice and cheese with a bread crumb coating. They have a crust that seems like it was deep-fried. It's a new item at TJ's, and I resisted buying it for two whole days. The description didn't sound very good, and it was expensive ($3.69) compared to other stuff I could buy that I knew was good. But the picture on the box kept gnawing at me until I had to buy a box. What a disappointment. They look good, all golden. And when fully cooked, a few of them leak cheese, which looks good, too. The problem begins when you bite into them. They have a terrible texture. They rice provides most of the texture, and the rice seems gritty. I made the mistake of eating the first one before it was fully cooked, and the rice is even more gritty then. But that grittiness never goes away, even when they are fully cooked. I definitely don't recommend this product. |

You buy crap like this, what's the matter, run out of worm/turbot/ broccoli soup? |

Damn. Wish you had postd this before Friday, when I bought the box that's now in my freezer. I had delicious arancini in Venice last summer. |
