Do you need someone to look out for your health, are you unable to say no to
things like that or is that someone elses job?

I know where you're coming from, but the sad reality is that a lot
(most?) people are incapable of making informed decisions with things
like that. Which ends up costing their families and the wider
community, eventually.

There are far more worse choices at Wallyword than a frozen novelty.

Looking forward to it.

That sounds pretty exciting. Unfortunately, they're not serving it up freshly fried and hot. I try a hot one at least once. A frozen fried Twinkie seems to be missing the point.

Sorry, I was not clear. I meant I didn't agree with Wiss' article which
seems to indicate Walmart started the deep fried twinkie trend.

A Google search comes up with this:

"A deep-fried Twinkie involves freezing the cake, dipping it into
batter, and deep-frying it to create a variation on the traditional
snack cake. In a story in The New York Times speaking of the Deep Fried
Twinkie with its inventor, Christopher Sell, who is originally from
Rugby, England, it was described in this way: "Something magical occurs
when the pastry hits the hot oil. The creamy white vegetable shortening
filling liquefies, impregnating the sponge cake with its luscious
vanilla flavour..."

I don't actually care where it originated. I've never had nor am I
every likely to taste a deep fried twinkie. <shrug>

Me either. I used to like Twinkies when I was a kid since we didn't have
treats like that often, but I've not thought about buying them much as an
adult.

Never cared for them. I grew up in Philadelphia with Tastykakes. They
were Philly based but eventually went nationwide, but they are not as
good as the old days.

One of favorites for years was a Drakes's cake with raisins. It was a
round cake of pound cake. Discontinued.

The last time I purchase stuff at Sam's Club the cashier was fondling a Twinkie. That reminded me that I was going to pick up a 10 pack at the door but I forgot! This filled me with deep regret. It was the rare and most delectable banana Twinkies Minions edition too. That's the breaks.

Aren't there any good bakeries where you live, or are they all a la
fast food style? Growing up my grandmother and mother did a lot of
baking but still we would have certain things store bought because
there was simply no way to replicate what the pros produced... there
are still many excellent ethnic bakeries in Brooklyn, from Italian, to
Danish/Swedish, to Jewish, and any others you can think of... and we
always bought bagels from a dedicated bagel bakery, can't get real
bagels any other way. I grew up in the Gravesend section, I could
easily walk to many great food destinations... friends still bring me
care packages. There are dozens of superb Italian bakeries in
Brooklyn but this is one of the best, when the wind was right I could
catch the aroma from my bedroom window... check out the photos and
read the reviews:

Sunday mornings at the beach. Blueberry stolen and crumb cake. I don't
think they are easy to make. After Superstorm Sandy the bakery had to
completely rebuild. Looking at their website I see their crumb cake is
shipped all over the world.

There are many baked specialties that can't be made at home without
extraordinary effort.

Which has nothing to do with what she said which was she had "never tasted
bought cake growing up." That had nothing to do with good bakeries, or maybe
since a certain person is not posting, everyone is fair game for some kind
of argument?
