samurai cheese straws
The name comes from the folding and rolling method of incorporating the cheese into the pastry. This method reminds me of the folded steel method of making swords used by ancient Japanese sword-smiths.
Very tasty, very easy and far better than the bought alternatives. Use shop bought pastry, to save time. The mixture of cheeses is really up to you, but I favour cheddar and parmesan.
