That’s right, I’m talking about the Jalapeño Popper. When you talk about breaded and deep fried cheese, most people think of the mozzarella stick. Well, most people are idiots because the Jalapeño Popper blows the mozzarella stick right off the appetizer sampler plate… On the outside they appear to be the same, although the mozzarella stick is a bit more phallic.
