Does anyone know what a "cheesy mint ball" is?

[Cadbury]

My dd is driving me mad talking about them.It reached a head when she asked for "Something cheesy and minty" in her packet lunch today and I finally snapped - "There's no such thing as Cheesy Mint Balls!"

Unless one of you esteemed mumsnettres can advise differently, of course!

it reminds me of "cheesy peas" ;o

meant to be a

Sounds disgusting. She isn't pregnant is she?

OMG I hope not. She's only 4!

Cheesy footballs maybe?

Have you asked her where she heard of them/saw them? Sometimes that helps with my son's more bizarre requests. And sometimes he just makes them up in his head!

cheesy meat ball?

JJ I think that's what she's done. I have asked her but she hasn't come up with a sensible answer.

Mouseman - that was the first thing I thought of but it's definitely mint.

I know she has a vivid imagination but she's never made up food before.

She has just told me that a "mouseling" gave one to her so she took it. Now mouseling would suggest something from Angelina Ballerina but I don't remember reading about any (and believe me, I know every book by heart).

isnt it just something they say when something is 'cool'

sorry no idea but something about the cheesy minty ball idea makes me smile

Really? I'll have to check again.

I'd probably eat them after a few beers...

Well, I've just read all of dd's Angelina books and there is no mention of them in there. She has a couple of videos but I'll be damned if I'm going to sit through those now.
Well they sound yucky to me but . . .

Did she mis-hear the 'mint' bit? That's happened to me. (I mean, I've mis-heard things before!)

Too bad the combination sounds so bad. Otherwise, you could just make it up!

mishmish!!!!

I've had feta cheese and mint balls in a restaurant when on holiday and they were actually really tasty (and no I wasn't pregnant at the time). Not something that I would usually have chosen, but sounded unusual. I think it was a Lebanese dish.

Will have a search on google to see if I can find a recipe!!!

gosh cadbury, she wants a lebanese dish in her lunchbox

cant beleive they are real preggiemum

Here we go this sounds like it could be the recipe here

that's it cadbury, she's clearly highly advanced in the area of tatse . Next she'll be asking you for poached seabass with lightly sauted potatoes and a rocket salad.

Hmmm. She can ask, and I'm quite willing to let her believe that her boof stew and mash is exactly that but unfortunately, she isn't very gullible!

halloumi chees with mint is lovely
