Looking for a "end of the harsh winter time silly party" Thought of
inviting people to come for a potluck with everything being made out
of twinkies! I have never eaten a twinkie and doubt I would eat them
again but a fun and silly potluck of good english tea and twinkie
dishes might be just what we need to laugh hard enough to get out of
our winter dole drums. There is even such a thing as twinkies
cookbook! Maybe I have stumbled onto a cult! So If you were invited
to a virtual twinkies potluck what would you bring?

I wouldn't go to a White trash party like that. Start your Twinkie
cult. Put poison in them. Eat them and ALL DIE. A bunch of dead
trash.

I'm thinking of this as a kind of "Chopped/Iron Chef" challenge! Here are
some ideas:

Tara Missoula: tiramisu made using twinkies instead of ladyfingers, Cool
Whip in place of the mascarpone, Jack Daniels in place of the rum, and
keeping the coffee.

You could wrap bacon around twinkie-sized tubes, deep-fry it, cool it, and
then stuff the twinkies into the bacon cylinders to make a kind of
bacon-twinkie cannoli.

You could split the twinkies mostly-through lengthwise as if they were hot
dog buns and put hot links into them, maybe with some pickled peaches to
give it some acidity.

I've never eaten one either but can't really imagine making anything out of
them.

When I was a kid, I used to frost them and decorate them like you would a
cake. I would only do this when my mom wouldn't actually let me bake a cake
and we had some in the house. I did the same with those little shortcakes
that are meant for strawberries. The ones with the depression in the top.
I remember surprising my mom with breakfast in bed with one of those. I put
a huge amount of green frosting on the top. I used to think green was her
favorite color. I guess I thought that because emerald is her birthstone.
There was so much frosting she got sick from it. I put all sorts of icing
flowers on the green frosting.

After that there was never a lone shortcake left in the house.

I have been somewhere - can't remember where - that served fried
twinkies. They were tasty. I think you just throw them into a deep
fryer and that's it.

There is an actual recipe called "Twinkie Delight" out there. Tricia Nixon
Cox contributed it to a Cravath cookbook way back when. IIRC, it included
Twinkies and cool whip. Sort of a faux charlotte from hell.

NOT a good idea. People aren't going to knock themselves out for
Twinkies.

By the way, the word is "doldrums". Forget the party and get spell
check.

I haven't eaten them in years, and my kids never had (they're 21, 17, and
13) so I bought a box and we ate them for a lark. Took me forever to find
them in the store...we're in Tastykake country. LOL.
Not in a hurry to buy them again, but they're not the hideous evil food
goblins that snobs portray them as.

Dream Whip is awful, and made from "Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Oil," but
nothing could be as bad as Cool Whip.
