#22 Cucumber on a stick was a huge hit with my young daughter when she requested one at a Japanese festival earlier this year. Vegetables and fruits on a bamboo chopstick have been a big feature of this summer. Finding out that a snack can be turned into a treat just by skewering a big splinter into it has been a revelation.

As for all that fried gunk, someone should do what they've been doing in Spain for the past ten years - scale down the size of the portions, attach cocktail sticks instead of disposable chopstick sized spears and introduce them in bars as American Pintxos (tapas).
