National Cheese Doodle Day

National Cheese Doodle Day is on March 5th in the United States.

What is a cheese doodle? Well, it's one name for a type of puffed corn snack food, or crisp. They are also called things such as cheese balls, cheese puffs, corn curls, corn cheese and cheesy puffs.

These are available under a number of different brand names. A couple of the more well known are the American Cheez Doodles and the British Wotsits.

Cheese doodles date back to 1930s America, although it's not known for certain by who, as there are two claims to it. They are made by extruding corn dough through a shaped die. These dies, like the different varieties, come in different shapes; whilst long, possibly curved forms may be more common, as the  different names suggest, balls and curls are also made. The corn dough is then coated in either cheese or cheese-flavoured powders.
