> [@Kyla](#): > > I don’t get that anyone thinks this is weird. My mom used to make this for me when I was a kid, as a healthful snack. I have applesauce and cottage cheese in the fridge right now for this purpose. It’s great comfort food. And yet, if you mention it to people, they go “whaaaa?” I thought everyone ate applesauce and cottage cheese! They actually sell pre-mixed pineapple & cottage cheese. And no-one blinks an eye at the aforementioned peaches & cottage cheese. And yet applesuace & cottage cheese sometimes gets strange reactions. ---

French fries dipped in chocolate malt (or vanilla malt, it doesn’t really matter). Mozzarella sticks dipped in chocolate malt. It’s all good. ---
