Looking for a "end of the harsh winter time silly party" Thought of
inviting people to come for a potluck with everything being made out
of twinkies! I have never eaten a twinkie and doubt I would eat them
again but a fun and silly potluck of good english tea and twinkie

our winter dole drums. There is even such a thing as twinkies
cookbook! Maybe I have stumbled onto a cult! So If you were invited
to a virtual twinkies potluck what would you bring?

I wouldn't go to a White trash party like that. Start your Twinkie
cult. Put poison in them. Eat them and ALL DIE. A bunch of dead
trash.

I think I'd make a trifle or tiramisu with them. Sounds like fun!
Who comes up with those ideas?

I'm thinking of this as a kind of "Chopped/Iron Chef" challenge! Here are
some ideas:

Tara Missoula: tiramisu made using twinkies instead of ladyfingers, Cool
Whip in place of the mascarpone, Jack Daniels in place of the rum, and
keeping the coffee.

You could wrap bacon around twinkie-sized tubes, deep-fry it, cool it, and
then stuff the twinkies into the bacon cylinders to make a kind of
bacon-twinkie cannoli.

You could split the twinkies mostly-through lengthwise as if they were hot
dog buns and put hot links into them, maybe with some pickled peaches to
give it some acidity.

Of course, you'd want a dip - maybe marshmallow? and a fondue - perhaps
chocolate. The Twinkie Party sounds just mighty sweet so you'd need some
things not so sweet - maybe barbequed pecans and fruit. Polly

I've never eaten one either but can't really imagine making anything out of
them.

When I was a kid, I used to frost them and decorate them like you would a
cake. I would only do this when my mom wouldn't actually let me bake a cake
and we had some in the house. I did the same with those little shortcakes
that are meant for strawberries. The ones with the depression in the top.
I remember surprising my mom with breakfast in bed with one of those. I put
a huge amount of green frosting on the top. I used to think green was her
favorite color. I guess I thought that because emerald is her birthstone.
There was so much frosting she got sick from it. I put all sorts of icing
flowers on the green frosting.

After that there was never a lone shortcake left in the house.

I have been somewhere - can't remember where - that served fried
twinkies. They were tasty. I think you just throw them into a deep
fryer and that's it.

There is an actual recipe called "Twinkie Delight" out there. Tricia Nixon
Cox contributed it to a Cravath cookbook way back when. IIRC, it included
Twinkies and cool whip. Sort of a faux charlotte from hell.

I didn't realize that Hostess had a lot of Twinkie based recipes to
get you started. http://www.hostesscakes.com/recipes/twinkies/

You've "never eaten one," but you " used to frost them and decorate
them like you would a cake." Somehow I think you're a lying sack of
shit.

Nothing screams, "I AM A PIECE OF GARBAGE!" like Twinkies with Cool
Whip.

I think it's a fun idea. Grown ups can indulge in an hour or two of
unhealthy eating every so often. It's okay. Permission granted. If
you don't want to do it, you're a grown up and know how to decline
invitations politely; don't you, Bryan?

NOT a good idea. People aren't going to knock themselves out for
Twinkies.

By the way, the word is "doldrums". Forget the party and get spell
check.

Unhealthy eating is fine, as you say, "every so often." Twinkie
potluck sounds appropriate for a TiVo marathon of Jerry Springer
episodes. Politeness is overrated.

I, too, believe grownups should be free to play sometimes, and I even tried
to come up with an idea using Rwinkies. I wasn't sure I would be able to
type that word!

But I ate one once and it was just terrible. I'm not trying to be superior
here, either, because I have an inexplicible weakness for those commersial
cream horns with the greasy fake stuff in them. My kid holds it over my
head that I have been known to binge on six in the old days. So it's not
that Twinkies are bad for me, it's that they are nasty.

I think I could get behind pot luck of all kinds of dishes that LOOK like a
Twinkie when done. That I could do.

Show me a low-carb twinkie and maybe I could get interested.

To be honest, I don't remember what they tasted like - but I'm not
surprised at your reaction. I've retried things I didn't think twice
about eating as a kid and found them horribly lacking. Back in those
days, I was a Hostess SnoBalls aficionado though. As a matter of
fact, I still like almost anything that has coconut on or in it.

Isn't that how those copy cat web sites got started? To be honest, I
don't eat commercial products and want to replicate them... same with
chain restaurant signature dishes. However, I do still want to
recreate that dish with calabrese sausage I had a year or so ago.
It's a wall photo on my FB page and here's the description. Rigatoni
Salsiccia Calabrese, which is rigatoni baked with calabrese sausage,
roasted fennel and artichoke hearts in roasted garlic cream sauce with
(a topping of) herbed bread crumbs.

Would that cream sauce be béchamel or heavy cream? Would it have
cheese in it or not?

deep fried twinkies is the rage at state fairs right now so just wrap the
bacon and deep fry...or split them put in banana and deep fry...

I think cream, maybe some cheese, but taste first. Calabrese sausages are
botably fiery hot!

I haven't eaten them in years, and my kids never had (they're 21, 17, and
13) so I bought a box and we ate them for a lark. Took me forever to find
them in the store...we're in Tastykake country. LOL.
Not in a hurry to buy them again, but they're not the hideous evil food
goblins that snobs portray them as.

I can't remember ever liking Trinkies, Joe Louis or anything with a
devils food base and that disgusting icing. But I didn't mind the
SnoBalls.... if I am remembering correctly..... white cake with a red
covering and the rolled in coconut? I didn't like them enough to have
them more than a few times, and I haven't had one since I was in high
school, at which time it was the lesser of the evils in the vending
machine.

I don't remember red SnoBalls. I remember one white and one pink to
the package and the cake part was chocolate if I remember correctly.
I had moved on to Hostess fruit pies by HS. Cherry, blueberry and
apple were my favorites.
