The term "cheese ball" can also refer to the puffed air orange snack that can be purchased in the snack aisle. The earliest mention was found in a 1944 cookbook called "Food of My Friends". The recipe came from a Minnesota housewife. Cheese is a generic term for a diverse group of milk-based food products. Once something like the black sheep of the cheese family, cheese balls are making their comeback as the playful party snack. A "cheeseball" also refers to someone trying to be funny or corny.
The first cheese ball, however, was of grander proportions. In the early 1800s, Elder John Leland of Cheshire, Massachusetts crafted a cheese ball that weighed a hefty 1,235 pounds. The adaptable appetizer resurfaced publicly in 1944 while women were throwing modest parties during wartime.
