In LA, its good stuff. In France? I recommend staying away from it. Can only be described it as sewage flavored meat. It ranks #2 on my list of ass-nasty foods. #1 being Uni or sea urchin. Not entirely unlike pond scum scraped from the bottom of water logged board.

From my New Orleans days, we had a guy that would bring in a loaf of Bunny bread and a couple cans of sweetened condensed milk when it was his turn to bring donuts. I guess it was the equivalent of sugar sandwiches.

I first saw deep fried twinkies and candy bars at the Calgary Stampede but then saw them later at the Houston Rodeo but never had the misfortune of trying one.
