Deep Fried Twinkies
One of the experiences you can have at the Fremont Street Experience in Vegas, is the experience of eating a deep fried twinkie. Fortunately there were 5 of us and we could all partake on a little bite of the guilty pleasure. The twinkie is frozen, then dipped in a batter before it's fried in it's own designated fryer. This one is also topped with chocolate sprinkles and powdered sugar.
Three years ago, there was a challenge to write a poem about a deep fried twinkie. I forget why or how we got on the topic, but here was my attempt:
one night at the county fair
crinkling plastic wrapper striptease
skinny dips into bubbling oil
golden batter hardens brown
the sound of monsoon rainfall
moistens the air, salivates the lips
sugary dusted on a star filled sky
would my heart stop for just one taste?
my lips dare not penetrate the heat
yet my tongue bares all to the creamy center
i dare not speak of this moment
less be branded
a sinner.

plus a reply I received regarding the poem:
okay. this is a cum poem, right?
hahahahahahahahahaha!
"hardens brown"???
a pinoy cum poem, to boot!
hehehehe

OK, but how did it taste?????
(the deep-fried Twinkie, I mean...)
j ; )
"cum poem"
hmm. sounds like something I would say.
oh. but wait dot dot dot
didn't I say that?!!
ok, so the taste...
the outside is all hot and crispy, but then because it was frozen when it was fried, the filling was all melty but cool.
And indeed Eileen you did say that.
That actually sounds pretty yummy.
