Have you ever watched Zombie Land? Great film, sort of like a chick flick with zombies that men can actually sit through without wandering off to clean the shed at midnight or some other excuse.

Anyhow the 2nd lead character loves his twinkies. And as my mate in the US knows I like the film he got Tescos to send me a box . I didn't even know Tesco's did twinkies. And they delivered them, in all their glory. The power of the internet all the way from California

They taste, well, different in a slightly unhealthy sort of way. And that's before deep frying them. My mouth had and interesting few minutes it had to be said........

3 soldiers waiting in line for the batter. Sir, yes sir.,



Rather than all that guff about beer or baking powder or this that or the other in the batter mix I just did flour and water ; after all it's just coating a twinkie

Wish me luck, If no more posts or photo's you will know it has not gone well and I might be on the 10 oclock news linked to a Donald Trump tweet on not making America great again blamed on my twinky.

OK, I am off to the shed.

Practice attempt on the batter with some chicken, very crispy.




Then the twinkies



Amazingly the deep fried twinkies tasted better than the raw ones. Go figure.

Ate all of them and could continue eating more as I was on skype to my mate in California who sent them to me.

I drizzled maple syrup and icing sugar over them. Not sure if my belt will fit around me in the morning.

Saw this done recently on a netflix series called deep fried masters, made my teeth itch just thinking about it.

Never tried a twinky, but if my experience of deep fried mars bars is anything to go by, they must be awesome lick

Fwiw, some Sainsbury's seem to have an American food aisle - was quite surprised to see Twinkies, Ding Dongs and candies and drinks and stuff....woohoo

I had to slowly step back and try not to fill my basket! smile

Not difficult to be honest... I was very disappointed when I first tried a Twinkie!

I'd forget about the twinkles and stick with the chicken, they look superb

The wife; who has a very sweet tooth and is particularly partial to "crap" food, bought some Twinkles from Tesco last year as she'd never tried them before, even she thought they were disgusting.

Me; they taste terrible, one bite and that was enough, vile things, they taste like they are made in a lab, nothing natural at all!
