In 1933, the Twinkie was born. The Twinkie was invented by a bakery manager James Dewar in Schiller Park, Illinois, making thrifty use of pans that were used for shortcake production only during the strawberry season. Twinkies originally contained a banana cream filling, but this was replaced with a vanilla cream filling during a banana shortage during World War II.I just can't do it.
How can they sit on a store shelf for 30 years and never deteriorate?
My mother made sure I never partook of this 'junk food' treat.
I just can't bring my virgin 'twinkie' lips to indulge. Why? (see small print below)
Have you?
Have you had them deep fried? Banana cream filled?
Preparation of a deep fried Twinkie: Although variations exist in the form, the deep-fried Twinkie is usually prepared with a fish batter, typically consisting of flour, egg and vinegar. Prior to dipping, a wooden or plastic stick is often inserted through one end (to allow the consumer to hold it), and the Twinkie is then frozen overnight to prevent melting while being deep fried. After coating, conventional cooking oil is typically used, although beef suet or tallow is sometimes used to give a "meaty" flavor.
