They aren't all that popular here either. I don't remember ever seeing
them on a restaurant menus, but that are commonly sold in grocery
stores. We had them frequently when I was a kid and always liked them.
I used to buy them once in a while but as years went on the quality
deteriorated. I figured it was time to try making them. The first recipe
I tried worked out well several times. They were quite easy and the
results were great. Unfortunately, the batch I tried on the weekend were
a major disappointment.
