Call it homemade cheese fried, then. *shrug*

> served cold?

Yes, Christopher made it for the Poliudie dayboard. It went over very 
well. It's not as good cold, though; it's best just cool enough to 
handle.

The very enthusiastic  eaters said it tasted somewhere between good 
french toast and really good fried mozzarella.

"In the clearing stands a boxer, A fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders Of every blow that laid him down
Or cut him till he cried out, In his anger and his shame,
'I am leaving, I am leaving' But the fighter still remains."
