Yes folks - I kid you not... I have never had a Twinkie. My mother allowed few junk foods and that was never on the list. Sometime in high school I was informed by a health nut teacher that Twinkies contained whipped beef fat. That was all I needed to hear to confirm that I would never need to discover the spongy little cake. I have been proud of my denial of the ingestion of the product. I hadn't eaten McDonald's until I was in my 20's except for maybe one birthday party as a kid. I was a BK girl. Never had a bowl of Count Chocula, Lucky Charms nor Cookie Crisp. I couldn't have multi-colored marshmallow cereals. I ate things like bell peppers as a snack. Oh the horror. I'm not being snobby I swear. I love ring dings and devil dogs and dutch cocoa cookies. Haven't met a chocolate I am not friends with. I eat all sorts of crap, I do...and today I discovered the dessert with a shelf life of 20 years and frankly that is where it can stay!
BTW - the Twinkie inspiration started with the Blue Man Group and the ever so tricky search to find one in Tastycake territory only made it seem more desirable.
