there are no tastykakes in the south. in fact, there are few philly delicacies. as a child, when we went to visit my family in philadelphia, there would be treats of hoagies and cheesesteaks and italian ice and, then, down the shore, salt water taffy. i love salt water taffy.i was visiting my grandparents for their 60th anniversary a couple of weeks ago. as usual, we had breakfast in a place that serves scrapple, which i will never truly understand. but that is neither here nor there.
something happened to tina in the grocery store; she's usually into healthy snacks, like cottage cheese. she returned to the car with a bagful of tastykakes. a bagful! butterscotch AND jelly krimpets, chocolate cupcakes. i always liked the pies. thank goodness she did not bring any pies.
i might have eaten all of them. they are not even food. really just a pile of processed something or another. it's hard not to read the packages. don't get me wrong; i ate a butterscotch krimpet. it just wasn't as wonderful as i remember.
tina seems pleased, though.

i had to have one! it had been years..and the reason for no pies...there weren't any! dad likes the chocolate juniors, but there weren't any of them either! and you're right..the butterscotch krimpets were not as good as they used to be!
Fabulous picture. Tina needs to make more blog appearances!
What is scrapple??
it's a weird pork scrap concoction. i put the link because it's mostly a pennsylvania thing.
