Fudge etc
I love fudge, but for some reason it’s a food that I only eat while I’m travelling. On roadtrips as a kid, the family would always stop for a chunk of fudge in Clines Corners. The couple of times that I’ve been in Philadelphia’s Penn Station, the Ben and Jerry’s fudge stand satisfied my need for travel fudge. And this last weekend in Scotland, wandering down Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, we couldn’t resist ducking into a fudge shop and grabbing a slice.
I’m fairly convinced, that like beef jerky, fudge relies on tourists and travellers for it’s continued existence. Does anyone eat these these foods in their regular life? Are there others you can think of that fall into this category?
Ahhh…Clines Corners. Well, it’s not a category, but somehow Tucker and I always feel the need to grab a 7 layer burrito from Taco Bell when we hit the road (this is only for driving trips, mind you). And Dairy Queen. So I guess the category could be fast food, which makes us very strange Americans indeed.
