Prepare the little meatballs. You can make this step in advance but not the day before. With these doses you can prepare about 80 little meatballs; they are enough for about twenty kebabs.
Soak the stale bread in warm water. In a large bowl, put the bread, squeezed of its soaking water, the minced veal, the herbs, the beaten egg and grated "Parmesan" cheese. Season to taste with salt and mix all the ingredients with your moistened fingers until you obtain a soft dough. If the dough is too soft, you can add 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs. You can make the same thing in a food processor or blender. Form mixture into 1/2 inch meatballs and dip them into breadcrumbs.
Heat olive oil in a wide frying pan over a medium heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides, shaking pan frequently, so balls keep their round shape. Drain very well on paper towels. Let them cool.
Now prepare the kebabs. The ingredients must be alternated on the skewers; combine them in the following ways: the little meatballs with cubed cheese and com salad or the little meatballs with sweet & sour vegetables.
You can put the kebabs on a loaf.
You can serve these kebabs as appetizers with a cocktail, in a cocktail party, in a buffet.

We have calculated only the calories because it's difficult to have the right amount of frying oil and dry breadcrumbs: they vary everytime we make this recipe.
