I just saw this list on Facebook and can get my hands on Moon Pies, Zapps Chips (Voodoo are the best) Wickles Pickles, and Palmetto Cheese in 5 minutes. And if you come through Birmingham I can personally take you to Zaxby's. If any of you want a taste of the South (particularly a Moon Pie) let me know and we will see what we can work out. Meanwhile I am intrigued by the Idaho Spuds Candy bar and Sponge Candy, and am craving the Beaver Bites.
I've never had Zaxby's, but one recently opened in a nearby town and that pic makes it looks good! I actually never liked Moon Pies, but I'm the only one I know of that doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI am not a huge fan of Moon Pies either. A couple of times a year I eat one then remember why I am not crazy about them. Zaxby's has great toast and milkshakes. We don't go there because everything is fried.
DeleteMoon pies are not my favorite either.
DeleteWe have Zaxby's in Georgia too. I'm not that big of a fan other than the Texas Toast they serve with their salads. One of the sweets I miss the most moving away from NJ is delicious vanilla custard soft serve with rainbow jimmies!!!! Hope you enjoy your Moon Pie!!!
ReplyDeleteYep, in fact it started in Georgia if I am not mistaken. I am not a big chicken finger fan so that pretty much leaves me out of the Zaxby's loop, but their toast is wonderful and so are the milkshakes.
Deleteoh! here in Australia , thats a Wagon Wheel. I loved them, didnt know there was a US version but I had heard of moon pies.
ReplyDeleteThe things you learn........
I wonder which came first, the Wagon Wheel or the Moon Pie!
DeleteMy partner still buys Wagon Wheels from time to time. I am trying to avoid all such treats. With variable success.
ReplyDeleteI go on sugar fasts on a regular basis, but when I go off of them beware! I hope Wagon Wheels are a little tastier than Moon Pies
ReplyDeleteThis would be a fun trip to travel across the US and try all of these things. Now to find the time and money for that.
ReplyDeleteI keep saying one day I am driving to Chicago then doing the entire route 66 trip. I have done a partial, but never the entire thing. Think I could set up a self indulgent GoFundMe account to pay for the gas, lodging. an mg convertible and some really cool sunglasses?
DeleteThe moon pie was invented in 1917 at the Chattanooga Bakery, Tennessee. We went to a Moon Pie Store in Lynchburg, TN near the Jack Daniels Distillery 2 years ago. My kids liked Moon Pies when they were little and we visited grandma's in VA. I got the new Salted Caramel p
ReplyDeleteies there.
Last year we ate at Zaxby's in Trussville AL....I had a Cobb Zalad. lolz
Daughter's BF raves about Zaxby's(he grew up in Fairhope AL).
Zaxby's is ok but I prefer Grandy's if you are gonna eat fried(I heart chicken gizzards.).
The salted caramel are the best, or maybe the banana one are. It's a toss up for me. There is something a little disconcerting about a cookie treat that is so blooming dry.
DeleteTo me Zaxby's is just meh except the toast and milkshakes, and both of those are wonderful.
I guess I am a peasant, but if I am going to eat fast food, give me bbq everytime
My dad loved moon pies and scarfed them down at a terrifying rate when we would go "back home" as he put it. Never developed a taste for them but would kill someone for some sweet tea and green boiled peanuts.
ReplyDeleteThe sweet tea you can make yourself (but it absolutely has to be made with Luzianne tea) and I can hook you up with boiled peanuts in about a month
