If you deep fry 'em, do you have to use banana palm oil?

They were made without real bananas, just artificial flavors. I wonder
how they are made now.

We never bought Twinkies (any flavor!) but I recall my mom buying Ding
Dongs or something like that? Chocolate cake "rolls" or tubes or
something? I remember I liked them.

Michael - also liked Susie Qs and Hostess Cupcakes.

I kind of remember orange twinkies, I think. Anybody else? Am I
remembering correctly?

I remember Orange, banana and chocolate (default flavor) Moon Pies.
I like the small ones still.

I'll have to try a banana one. I wasn't around for them in the beginning.

I avoid twinkies as a rule, (whipped crisco, sugar and vanilla filling) but
I'll make an exception if I see the new (old) kind, once.

Here is a copy cat recipe. I'd just sub the vanilla extract for banana
extract (never seen banana extract) or find a banana flavoring to add to
the filling.


Michael, how do you make good Banana Bread without Banana Extract? Not
the imitation crap, the real thing. Penzey's does not carry it. I get
mine wherever and whenever i find it. Wagner's Gourmet Foods, Inc.
Wilmington, N. C. used to make a good one, but the last bottle says
Banana Flavor, not Extract.

You use bananas. I have never heard of using "banana extract."

I use bananas. But for that REAL Banana taste and aroma, pure Banana
Extract is great.

I can no longer find the extract. The stuff that says Flavor has
"natural flavors" and "Banana Essence" listed under INGREDIENTS. When I
last used it, I didn't notice any difference. That may be, because I
didn't eat any. I never eat what I bake. ) Not even the broken
Chocolate Chip Cookies. My friend Marcel gets those and all the burnt
ones, too.

Those would be Ho Hos:

Ding-Dongs are hockey-puck shaped, and are one of my favorite snack
cakes:

As I recall (probably from that "Unwrapped" show), banana was the
original flavor way back when.

Maybe your bananas are not ripe enough. They should be black!

Maybe I have never had really great banana bread. I though the ripe bananas
I used gave mine real banana taste and aroma.

Poor Marcel! What do you do with the GOOD/unburnt ones?
