Oh MY GOD. I just had my first bite of a twinkie!! They're selling them in this gorgeous little confectioner's in Fremantle next to Jafreezi (sp?!) and near The Pickled Fairy. Lots of American candy there, actually!

Anyway, video of me and my brother and the twinkie:

It was super sweet, kinda chewy. What the hell is the cream made out of? Doesn't cream go off?!

25 days is their shelf life. I guess this is why they aren't shipped here all that often, LOL.

The ingredients should just be "Wheat, sugar, fat, fat, fat, OH and more fat!"

For me, hell would be a whole twinkie. *cradles poor gluten intolerant digestive system*

I know, I know. I ate some Kentucky Fried last night. Had to. Can't live without my battered chicken.

You did, you foul, evil creature. Now I want potato salad with bacon and eggs. My Mum makes it and it's orgasmic.

Yeah, it does. Is it served warm or cold and is it mayo-based or vinegar-based?

Mayo based and is served cold. Num num num! I can get the recipe off my Mum if you like?

I don't know a single person that eats those. I think they're grossly sugary with a touch of styrofoam.

However, their magic is that they never go bad. You can leave them on a shelf for fifty years, and they're as good as the day your brother ate one. If that doesn't tell you how bad they are for you, yikes!

In Las Vegas, the "Sin City" of America, there's a touristy part of downtown that has Deep-Fried Twinkies -- they put a Twinkie on a stick, dip it in pancake batter, fry it in oil, and sprinkle on confection sugar and decorations.

For a dollar.

Run screaming from that booth, I tell you!!! ;-D I ate one based on a dare, and can honestly say it's nothing I would ever "crave" in my life.

Sounds like something even Elvis would stop and say "Oh, now you gotta be kidding me, I ain't eatin' that!" at.

I mean - deep frying them?! You have to marvel at human imagination. It creates something as inconcievably refined and manifactured as the Twinkie. Then it decides to see how much more unhealthy it can make it, and managed to by quite a huge stretch. That's amazing. That's human ingenuity at work right there. That's millions of years of evolution coming to fruition. Don't you feel inspired?!

Heee, you guys are so cute with that.

Yeah, they're just a really sweet sponge cake filled with cream that's been a snack food here foreeeever. Wait until you have a Snowball.

Oy.

It's a cream-filled chocolate cake covered in marshmallow and coated in flaked coconut. I usually peel off the marshmallow layer and just eat the cake! By the way, your brother is gorgeous! ;)

Have you see Wall-e yet? His pet cockroach lives on twinkies, cuz they're the only 'food' left that's any good.

And speaking of bacon, remind me to find you the photo of chocolate covered bacon that was posted to Food_Porn sometime.

Yeah I'm happy not to repeat that experience. Just for the gluten alone.
