@lmillernpr (not sure if this has been mentioned already) gulab jamun!

Foodie Twitter. Weird question; I'm searching for BALL-SHAPED foods from many cuisines. Everything from Onigiri rice balls to Puri (the bread sometimes puffs up so much its a ball) to bonbons, boules, anything. What am I not thinking of? Please don't be dirty. I believe in you.

@kellymcconvey @GuhaShion Spectacular work, Kelly! 💛
