fish balls
Contrary to popular belief, fish balls are not made from the testicles of male fish. They are, in fact, traditionally made from fish meat made into a paste and rolled into balls. However, fish is getting expensive these days, so most of the fish balls you can find are made with a large percentage of flour and flavorings.
In Hong Kong, fish balls are commonly found in street stalls and in restaurants. They can be served on sticks, in bowls, with soup and noodles, with curry, in hot pot, etc.

Random person: WTF?! Fish BALLS? No way!
Sam: Would you like them in a house? Would you like them with a mouse?
Random person: I do not like fish balls. I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.
Sam: Would you eat them in a box? Would you eat them with a fox?
