1. A method for extruding food stuff comprising:providing an apparatus comprising an extrusion surface defined by a substantially circular perimeter, and a plurality of holes approximating an arc, the holes being positioned sufficiently close to one another, so as to permit formation of a firm, tightly packed food extrusion; placing food stuff to be extruded on a side upstream of the apparatus; exerting pressure against the food stuff, so as to move the food stuff in a direction perpendicular to the apparatus; and permitting the food stuff to be extruded across the apparatus in a manner which provides the extruded food stuff with a shape approximating the arc formed by the holes on the apparatus.
