Exotic local delicacies

A while back at work we got into a conversation about twinkies, and my American colleagues were shocked (SHOCKED!) and bemused to find that I had never had one.

(An aside: I think health Canada may have actually outlawed them. I do remember reading the comic book ads from the 70s advertising twinkies and Hostess Cup Cakes and wondering: cake? in a bag? How does that work?)

Anyway, to their delight and my horror they presented me with a real-life twinkie, all livid sponge cake and creme filling. I tried it and unbeknownst to me, somebody was on hand with a camera (thanks, Scott) to record the moment.

 
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is just that good.
Please note that it is evident that the kreme filling is not milk-based in any way, but some sort of petroleum product.

Glad you found the picture :-) Very flattering, I think.

I have been meaning to tell people about the Flickr group I set up. I have been delaying in part because I am trying to decide whether I should de-link it from my personal Flickr account or not. Anyway... I think my lack of decisiveness has decided for me. So far, you and Ken have found it on your own. I'll have to let others know about it as well.

Oh and obviously I found your blog again. I've thrown the feed into my aggregator.
