Since this blog is named for desserts, and the Twinkie is the quintessential American dessert, I thought I should report this very important story:There are now banana cream filled Twinkies.
Maybe I shouldn't be posting this information, since I'm indirectly advertising a clearly unhealthy food, but I thought this was a pretty big deal.
If anyone has had such a Twinkie, please provide a review in the comments section. I have one specific question- is the cream yellow or white?
Here is a link to the story from the Week in Review section of today's New York Times.
Also, as a side note, the Sunday Times is a remarkable literary achievement. The fact that they crank out such a massive paper on a weekly basis is extremely impressive. I spent half my morning reading it, and it was very satisfying.
