Since Fried Twinkies at Mermaids get so many comments...

This is in today%26#39;s news;

The Twinkie was invented on April 6, 1930 by 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. The original flavor would be revisited more than half a century later as an alternative flavor and is still an option today.

The ones at Mermaids are poor. Go to Toby Keith%26#39;s for a much better version.

--The Fried Twinkies Snob

I was at Mermaids last night. I get to the counter and the girl says ';45 minute wait for deep-fried Twinkies and Oreos';. Yeah, like I%26#39;m going to waste that much time for that! What? Did they decide to finally change the oil?

I loved the Twinkies at Mermaids so those must be a damn fine culinary art at Toby Keith. Unfortunatley I had the displeasure of being around Toby Keith for a day and will find it real hard to give him any money. However, if others say they are great I will have to make an exception.
