Is a mozzarella stick basically just a deep fried string cheese? If I lived before 1976 would I have been deprived of this artery clogging wünderfood?

- cdr 12y agoMore likely just plain mozzarella. In most restaurants, you're likely getting a factory pre-made frozen and reheated product from a box - certainly that was the case at the chain pizza place I worked at in highschool. "Stuffed crust" pizza was made with string cheese (at least at the time), though. I've seen blocks of mozzarella chopped up at a fair to fry, but no idea whether that's what everyone does. The "stringiness" of melted mozzarella (as on a pizza or in a fried stick) actually mostly depends on the freshness, or so I've been told.
- kfor 12y agoMaybe not in restaurants, but just frying up some string cheese is indeed the easiest way to make your own at home. Tip: freeze them on a cookie sheet after (double-)breading them, that way they won't melt as soon as you throw them in the fryer.
