They look like tiny bright orange mutated poopoos or doodoos, or whatever you call those nasty things, in Australia. They leave a thick, sticky, orange, almost crystalline residue on the fingers that is difficult to remove, and taste somewhat like salty cheddar cheese, and they usually have a satisfying crunch. They snap easily, but are not so brittle that if you drop one it will break, although at times a larger one dropped on hard ground from standing height will break in two. The longest and thickest ones are the ones most coveted, but they range in size from about 2 inches long, sometimes slightly longer, to a mere small sphere measuring approximately one-quarter inch in diameter, although smaller cheese puff spheres have been found, though exceedingly rare. The rarest of all cheese puffs are the smallest of the spheres, but these wonders lack crunch, as they seem to be nothing more than a tiny glob of cheesy residue. Artificial globs of cheesey residue can be creaed by rubbing the fingers together after eating a few cheese puffs. Althought the artificial globs are usually quick to incorporate any finger dirt present and are not at all ashamed to assimilate the dirt into the coloring of the end result, always a muddy orange brown, the dark constituent of the color depending of course on how much finger dirt is actually present. For further reference, pick up my book, "Cheese Puffs, A Choice, A Life."
