chop-lickin' yumminess.
because this page does part-time as a food blog (when not being a dating diary or a knit-along, or a travel journal), i must bring to your attention the BEST easter candy known to humankind:
the cadbury mini-egg.
as paddy o'poppycock wrote somewhere on the interweb:
"I don't remember exactly where I was the first time I had Cadbury Mini Eggs, but I remember the sensation I felt the moment I bit through the candy shell. It was as if I'd tasted chocolate for the first time, that all previous chocolate was just preparing me for these mini-eggs. I wouldn't realize just how great these oval nuggets of nirvana really were until years later when I first partook in lovemaking. Or as I called it at the time, "The physical act of two people nearly replicating the pleasure of eating a Cadbury Mini Egg."sadly, i have yet to find them in the city.

gawker had a post about someone searching for cadbury creme eggs and finally finding them - maybe the same store would have mini- eggs? or maybe gawker could help you out too?
thanks for the tip, c!
dude. if/when you tire of urban foraging, i'll so mail you some mini eggs. if for no other reason but so that's one less bag i'll consume. they are RIDICULOUSly good.
you are right, handels: riDICulously good. they should be illegal.
i might take you up on your offer -- but then again, i don't really neeeeeeeeeeed them... i just want 'em.
in an unrelated note, did you know that one of those turkey legs from the renaissance faire contains 1135 calories? holy snow!
jbd,
miss you dude - really excited about you coming down for twilight!
We will jam!!!
deeg
HAHAHAHA how on EARTH do you know the nutrition content of renaissance faire food?! that is the most hilarious fact of the day. and holy crap that's a lot of calories for something that appears relatively healthy... when compared to cheesecake-on-a-stick, anyway. anyway, no one NEEDS mini eggs, but damn... i'll so mail them if you want them.
i'm a nutrition educator, handels -- i have a lot of ridiculous info at my fingertips.
oh, the cheesecake-on-a-stick? 655 calories.
655 DELICIOUS calories.
oh, and deeg!
check this out!
hey, there's a place near my house called Eckerd Drugs. You may have heard of it, though it's probably not big enough to make it to New York. They have a whole display of Easter candy, and if this year is like past years, that shit will still be there when you come to town at the end of the month. Oh, do kids not have Easter Egg hunts in NYC? Do they just put them out in the street and find them that way? In Memphis, they just throw them at one another.
cute, mike. cute.
i've already checked eckerd drugs, duane reade, rite aid, a variety of bodegas, met supermarket, key foods...
it's not like i'm kicking it uptown-style and only attempting to find these gems at zabar's or dylan's candy bar!
handels, i'm >thisclose< to asking you to mail me your leftovers...
just say the word!
oh and i've been meaning to say this - somehow (and this is really stupid!) it didn't occur to me the nutrition educators, as i know you are, would have info about stuff that's just horribly awful for you. of course you do - it makes perfect sense now, but in my head i sort of thought nutrition education was all about the value of almonds and salmon or something. ha!
ha ha!
yes, it's true: i do spend most of my day talking about whole grains and unsaturated fat and lean protein. i'll occasionally have a patient ask about junk food, however, and so i have the nutritionals on those foods, as well.
all this talk is getting me hungry for a funnel cake...
