I ate toaster strudels for the first time ever

[missalaire]

And I liked it. So delicious and much better than pop tarts.

[ComradeSniper]

What flavor?

[jdcarpe]

I kissed a toaster strudel and I liked it, the taste of its cherry filling.

[whiteduck]

Strawberry or bust

[YoungMichael88]

I like to put all the icing in one big blob right in the middle

Don't worry, even if no one else recognizes it, I see what you did.

Pop tarts are only good when you don't have time/access to a toaster

[HoffmanMyster]

Pop Tarts are good too tho. I just eat em right out of the package with a tall glass of milk.

I'm due for another trip to the store and I might have to pick up 4 or 6 when I go.  :D

Waaaaaay better than pop tarts. Try 2 icing packs on one strudle next time = happy now, sad later.

[HoffmanMyster]

In my many years of icing toaster strudels I've developed what I consider to be an ideal technique.  I will share it here, because why not.

Don't just rip the icing packet open and slurge it on the strudel in big streaks.  Cut a tiny hole with a pair of scissors (or be careful and rip with your hand so that it's as small as can be), while still allowing flow of icing, and make really thin icing lines, covering the entire strudel.  They'll melt from the heat and form a near-uniform covering over the entire strudel, rather than a spotty and non-uniform covering from a thicker flow.

It might seem silly since it's the same amount of icing, but the per-bite uniformity makes a huge difference, at least to me.

[noisyturtle]

or just plop it on and rub it down with your finger

No, no, no, no, no.

This made me laugh aloud and I confused Mkawa

[YoungMichael88]

Like I said before. One big blob in the center. Then bite all around it and save the blob and it's strudel foundation for the final bite.

You're doing it wrong.  Sorry.

Wait...


Not everyone does it like that?

A lot of people have a tendency to make two or three very wide sweeps with the icing.  It makes me a little sad to see it done.

Edit:
So basically this:


will taste better than this:

Photo, you have a problem with food on this forum.  Heck, even seeing something that was brown and green made you go out and buy ice cream!

Holy crap, is that a single packet? I bow down to your strudel skills  :eek:

Bubble and squeak?

Black pudding?

Bangers and mash?

OTOH Australia: pie floater!

How have you not had them before, they have been around since the 80's. I learned way back then that icing technique.

[Thimplum]

 

[Computer-Lab in Basement]

Best icing technique:

-Requirements:
   -2x Toaster Strudel pastries
   -2x icing packets

Step one: Lightly apply half of one icing packet to each of the two pastries (1/2 packet per pastry).
Step two: Eat pastries.
Step three: Eat remaining icing from left over packet.

[Thimplum]

This thread is on fire!

My Chinese parents never bought me such foods and I guess I just never thought about them until recently when I was grocery shopping.

[jdcarpe]

You mean they had the audacity to actually feed you real food, instead of the prepackaged, processed stuff they call "food" here in the good ol' US of A? How dare they!

I had a similar situation growing up as missalaire. In fact, I've still never had a toaster strudel...or a Big Mac, or a Twinkie.

I've never had a Twinkie either!  *high five*

[hashbaz]

The only Pop-tarts worth eating are the s'more flavored ones.  The rest are garbage.  Toaster Strudel on the other hand, are delicious in all their varieties.  I too am a disciple of the tiny-snip-n-squeeze model of icing application.

How have you not had them before, they have been around since the 80's. I learned way back then that icing technique.

I was about to smugly contradict you but Wikipedia says they were introduced in 1985.  TIL Pop-tarts have been obsolete for almost 30 years.

Cap'n, if you ever come visit I will corrupt you with all the deadly American foods.

[CPTBadAss]

Pfft, if I ever find myself up your way hashbaz, we're definitely eating way better food than McDonald's! But I appreciate the thought .

Lol are you ****ing serious?? I've had Big Macs and Twinkies, just not Toaster Strudel until recent. Though, I'm sure there are things you've had that I haven't.

We were so deprived :<

[CPTBadAss]

Deprived? I think we just ate better . I'll take dim sum, home made soy milk, and dumplings over Big Macs, Twinkies, and Toaster Strudels any day!
