Where are you, you spongy yellow delicious bastards?

Farewell Hostess. I loved the artificially sweet aftertaste and funny sounding names of your products. If you can't find a buyer, I might still need to learn parkour, like really soon.

Update: As any Canadian already knows, the demise of Hostess doesn't mean their products are no longer sold elsewhere. Americans can still go north of the border to satisfy their craving for Twinkies, Ding DongsHo Hos, and other goodies.

Culinary Curiosities: The MOSDO and POTEDO

Here's the kind of fusion tailor-made to bring-out my inner Homer Simpson. The MOSDO is the brainchild of a partnership between popular doughnut chain and Japanese burger franchise . Each company makes its own product under this common brand name (A portmanteau of 'MOS' and 'Donut'). The Mister Donut variety is a doughnut burger - Burger on the outside but doughnut on the inside. The accompanyinng POTEDO (A portmanteau of 'Potato' and 'Donut') are french fry shaped doughnut sticks. Christopher Butcher enjoyed this inventive fast-food combo. Now I really want to go to Japan.

The MOS Burger version has a traditional looking burger patty with a doughnut hole in the middle filled with wasabi mayonnaise. Mmmmm spicy. While not as clever as its Mister Donut counterpart, it still sounds like something that could only come from Japan.
