      A really sweet and tasty cream-filled sponke cake snack. Twinkie-the-Kid was the mascot. A Twinkie dressed in a cowboy hat and boots. http://www.kitchenproject.com/history/twinkie.htm[^] BW The Biggest Loser

          How about some real bread? People talk about "the best thing since sliced bread", as if sliced bread was a good thing. Having been to Europe I can assure you that sliced bread is a giant leap backwords. Now if I could just find real break in the US without having to bake it myself.

              Probably good for you to know that they actually have a very very very short shelf life. I definitely would not even think about eating it. Matt Newman

                    You can find some pretty good bread in the US, just don't expect to find it in supermarket. Unfortunately, most people don't care about bread enough to want to spend on better loaves, so they continue to sell cheaper crappy mega-bakery products. But I agree, When it comes to bread and coldcuts, Europeans know what's what. BW The Biggest Loser
