What's wrong with this bun?

[Imogene]

At least, that's what my memory is telling me they are. I have actually never had a moon pie.

Eh, that's close enough... Moon pies are two cookie like things (some sort of graham crumb dough...) with a heaping blob of marshmallow creme smooshed between them, and then dipped, heavily, in chocolate or various other creams... Mmm, moonpie.

New England hot dog buns, love them as long as they're not over toasted, and can't get the blasted things way out here in Phx.

[KabeRinnaul]

Juwl's got the description of the Moon Pie right, it's basically an over-engineered S'More.

But I HAVE had RC Cola, which is actually the drink that best compliments such fine Southern cuisine.

But AdminAssistant gets the combo right. Tradition is Moon Pie + RC Cola.

I'm from West Virginia, by the way.

Moon pie sounds like these biscuits we have over here called Wagonwheels. We also have a version with jam in between the mallow.

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[Lace Neil Singer]

I love Wagonwheels, altho I must force myself to not eat them all the time, as they are very bad for me. O_o So many calories...

Moon pie?! What a time to be alive!

I had no idea there was more than one kind of hot dog bun. It seems to me the ones served in New York City are the same style as those in Southern Ontario, which are the kind I'm used to. I've been to both NYC and Toronto and aside from the fact Toronto vendors grill their dogs instead of steaming them, the buns look the same.

Its a New England oddity, buns are identical everywhere else but there as far as I know, kinda interesting. I miss franks with the skin (casing) on them, the one's that go crunch when you bite into them. And Best brand franks, great tasting, and fairly cheap, we don't have anything like either of them out here.

what the hell was that guy's problem

I believe the medical term is "Cranial-rectal insertion syndrome".

[Chromatix]

Or a "Recto-cranial inversion".

oh if that was physically real, the idiots would starve to death and all would be good

hey! a girl can have sick and twisted dreams can't she?

and damn its been a while since I had moonpies and rc cola (having a few relatives in the south has its advantages) thankfully I can get the rc cola half of the combo up in New York, not the moonpies though, which I belive come covered in chocolate, orange or bannana

don't mind me, its late and yummy things got mentioned

[ThePhoneGoddess]

Wow this western girl has never seen buns cut on top. Very interesting.


I remember when I worked in downtown Santa Fe I used to watch the tourists with great mirth. They would go into the Five N Dime and order Frito Pies at the snack counter because the Five N Dime is famous for it's Frito Pies, the ultimate Southwestern street food, and they had read about it in some snooty magazine.

Many of the richer tourists would throw fits when it was served to them in a cut-open mini frito bag with a spork. Used to happen almost weekly.

I see I'm not the only one who just stepped out of the freezer

I loves me some Moon Pies, wish I had one to go with the RC Cola in my lunch box...

In terms of regional foods, I learned a lot when I moved to Chicago. People get very uppity about the RIGHT way to eat a hot dog around here. Also, Italian beef is all the rage here and I had never seen that before (and I only came from Indianapolis, a few hours south!)

I once had a waitress argue heatedly with me when I ordered a Philly cheese steak sandwich without onions. She was offended. She was giving me the "Well it is a Philly without the onions!" bit. She relented right before I said something that would have guaranteed a booger in my sandwich.

And never EVER argue with a Texan as to the proper contents of chilli.

[StormCMage]

and never argue with a picky girl about her food, cause she will look at you and go "well I don't like it that way, I like it my way, regionality be damned!"

again I never understood that mentality, its food, people make it differently anyways, why fight?
