Darrell came home in a state of absolute flux yesterday because he’d found “Twinkies” in Ye Olde Fashioned Sweetie Shoppe in town!
Twinkie's are American comestibles or “vittles'” as they like to call them that we have only ever dreamt of tasting …. and had planned on sampling them profusely on our Holiday of a Lifetime Holiday to Last Vegas ….but now, we had an actual one in our kitchen, it was a profound moment of Hello Magazine type poignancy!
There was a hushed silence as Darrell cut the aforementioned Twinkie into three (very) equal pieces ……..
….. and much awe and wonder as we all gazed at the cross section of aforementioned, aforementioned Twinkie.
To be Frank (Earnest and Jeffrey!!!) ….. we had expected more cream filling….
…… but when Darrell 
….. followed by the scoring …..
Now, we have to be honest …. much as we enjoyed our first Twinkie and awarded it a most acceptable 8 out of 10 on our Richter Scale of noms ….. we have to admit that the filling, in our estimation isn’t a patch on the creamy filling in a British Tunnocks Tea Cake …..
So, we are planning on taking a couple of boxes over to Las Vegas for our hosts at the Luxor Hotel to compare and contrast!
You are no good for my figure boys - I need some Tunnock Tea Cakes and I need them NOW!!!
ReplyDeleteNot quite sure about the Twinkies - to me twinkies will always be toes on your feet - or maybe that is just our family name for them! JantheFan x
We're not really Twinkie eaters ...we like Little Debbies...always have a couple of boxes on hand, usually the Swiss Roll (little chocolate cakes with a cream filling)...sometimes the Oatmeal Cakes...But Twinkies are popular especially with those who had them in their school lunch boxes.....also love TastyCakes....my favourite are the peanut butter chocolate covered cakes....loved them when I was growing up and still have them as a favourite treat!.....Dianne
ReplyDeleteTwinkies are rank they don't have a shelf life as they are so full of bad things they will never go of even after a nuclear war they would still be there on the self but only glowing lol know a tea cake that's a treat to be had on a sunday with other cakes like swiss roll and French fancies big want a tea cake to love marc
ReplyDeleteI have never had a Twinkie but I don't think I am missing out.
ReplyDeleteI don't know hen I last had a Tunnock's Tea Cake but I could eat a whole packet right now.
It is a joke here in the US that Twinkies are indestructible with "unknown" ingredients and would still be here after a nuclear holocaust....I think they survive with their fans via childhood nostalgia...... Dianne
