If you ever find yourself in Carroll Gardens and in need of a quick, little snack, pop into Joe's Superette (349 Smith Street, where 1st Place meets Smith, 718-855-6463) for some mini Riceballs. They come stuffed with either cheese, ground beef or prosciutto and are the most heavenly bites of goodness you'll ever have.
Lightly fried, never greasy, the exterior of the golf ball-sized morsel has a slight crunch that gives way to the melted, flavorful inside. They're good served as a side with dinner, as something different to bring to a party, or just for something to munch on while you wait for the B75 bus. For further reading on these delectable treats, check out this article in the Times from a few years back.

Wow. Now you're going old school on me. I like it. I used to go to this place after playing basketball in the school next to Carrol Park! Never had the rice balls though.
Yeah, well, gotta keep it real, y'know? I used to GO to that school by Carroll Park. Definitely get the riceballs next time you're around!
Ok, that must mean you went to Me and My Egg Roll after school from time to time, no?
Ha ha! That was lunch in Junior High (a pint container of plain Fried Rice). In ES we went to Mola Pizzeria on Court (it's now World Pie).
Me and My Eggroll HAS to get a post on Eat It. Come on!! That place is classic.
Wow, these like a great snack. Do they come with any kind of sauce or are they moist enough as is?
I've never had them with a sauce (not sure if that's an option). They're pretty perfect as is.
Love these, Love this place! Especially the signage -- Classic!
Great meeting you at Hagan's event on Sunday!
Cheers,

Thanks for the comment! Yes, these are quite the special treat. Great meeting you too!
Those look delicious! I've tried a similar recipe but it also included minced pork. Try it!
IF you've never had these before. Forgetaboutit. You're not worthy. Just discovering these? stay away! they dfo just fine without your business.
I'm sure Joe's Superette would welcome any business, new or old. The more the merrier, right?
