Hostess Fruit Pie, One Less Thing For Me to Eat Before I Die

I don't like the sugar coating on the crust.

I like Tastey Kake pies and here in Texas, you can always find a good southern fried pie.

Piece of Chicken, a Dollar Restaurant in Hell's Kitchen

That's some mighty good lookin chicken.

Lots of cilantro...

Chopped cilantro and onions tastes good on tortilla chips. They give you a bowl of it with your chips at tacquerias here in houston. You can dip the chip in salsa or not before you pile on the cilantro.

I like it on sub sandwiches instead of lettuce with shredded carrots. Just like Vietnamese sandwiches.

I love cilantro.

Killer Five Guys topping combos?

Grilled onions, jalapenos, tomatoes, pickles. lettuce. Mustard on top bun, BBQ sauce on the bottom bun.

From A Hamburger Today

Jack in the Box Nacho Cheeseburger

I tried one. It was pretty tasty. I love jalapenos on hamburgers.
They gave me a two for one deal, so I tried the chicken sandwich with cheese and jalapenos, too. I didn't like the chicken as much.

Powers Hamburgers: A Fort Wayne, Indiana, Treasure (Just Like Major Frank Burns)

The White Manna and Powers way are becoming my preferred method for cooking hamburgers. I generally used chopped onions to completely cover the patties then flip. I also use ground sirloin and the onions keep them moist.

If your metabolism went from Phelps to couch potato...

If you ate like Michael Phelps and were a couch potato. You would gain over 70 pounds in a month. After a year, you would be one of those guys they have to lift out of their house with a crane.

French Fries.... Does Size Really Matter?

Karl in Sling Blade liked "taters and mustard".

Mustard is pretty good but I seldom eat them that way. I'm a ketchup man.
I prefer French Fries cut thicker than McDonald's and fried twice is best. I am pretty sick of french fries automatically coming with a hamburger.

I miss the Hostess "Chocolate Pudding Pie". It looked like you were eating a turd, but it was quite good.

@hotdoglover: I hear ya. It was by chance I had the Hot Dog. As delicious as it is, I really don't think I can pass up the burgers and fries also. Love those Cajun Fries. I keep on saying that combo is best out there, and yet, I am still ridiculed. I just look at it as their loss. I think they put crack or something in the burgers. They are too darn good!! Almost went there last night since we were talking about it, but made Shrimp Scampi instead. Bought some shrimp and had to cook it up...

Those things are delicious, but oh man- look at the nutrition information! They are positively lethal.

That being said, I like lemon :)

Killer Five Guys topping combos?

Butrflygirly,

As much as I love hot dogs (I write about them and lead a yearly Hot Dog Tour in N.J.) I've only had the hot dog at Five Guys once or twice. And it's a quality hot dog, easily better than what you get at your average hot dog joint here in N.J. Which is saying a lot. They split and grill a tasty Hebrew National frank. But I can't pass up the burger and fries. Since a Five Guys opened in my town, I go there often, probably too often. I hate onions, but have tried many different topping combinations. All of the toppings are good, but my favorite is ketchup, mayo, pickles, and lettuce. That's the only way I get them now.

I don't know if there is a secret ingredient in these burgers because they are so addictive. And it's not that there is a lack of choices. There is an abundance of good burger joints in my area.

Hostess Fruit Pie, One Less Thing For Me to Eat Before I Die

That sad item is so NOT A HOSTESS PIE!!! We still have the half-moon shaped beauties here in Tennessee.
I think I need to send a few Robyn's way! That sad picture of those odd squares has me heading to the store and post office ASAP.

Can I send them to the same address posted for the "Eat Me" stickers??

I recognized those as Drake's right away and was curious as to why it also said "Hostess" on the package.

@jeninewsbite, it does make a difference. If they sit on the shelf too long, the moisture of the filling softens the crust. Still, eating them "fresh" is not going to suddenly make them OMG AMAZING, but it does make them better by a fair amount.

Chocolate......I don't like the cherry. Well, I don't like any of them now, but I always ate the chocolate ones.

Another, "hey, that's not a Hostess fruit pie!"

My favorite was the lemon. I haven't had one in years, though.
