Cheese straws are usually associated with the South, and are almost always included in the menu for cocktail parties, bridal or baby showers, and wedding receptions. These tasty little treats can be easily paired with punch, tea, coffee, or wine, and compliment finger sandwiches, fruit, and mints. They are usually made with a strong Cheddar cheese, and can be made in a variety of shapes and sizes, from a true “straw” shape to a flat cheese “biscuit”.
