   1 1/2   c            Water
   1       c            Yellow cornmeal
   1       x            Vegetable oil for frying
     1/2   t            Salt
   1       c            Freshly grated Edam
   1       x            Gouda, or cheddar cheese

    Combine the water and salt in a saucepan and bring to a boil.  Pour
  in cornmeal slowly but steadily, and stir until the mixture is thick
  and smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese.  Mix well and
  cool.

  small portions and shape into sticks 3 inches long and about 1 inch in
  diameter. Drop in the hot oil and fry until golden brown all around.
  Drain on paper towel cover to keep warm.  Yield: 18 corn sticks
  Note from cookbook:  These Puerto Rican snacks are served warm with
  a drink as a side dish along with meat or fish.
