More edible nostaligia … New Orleans, 2005-2006: every time I stopped at a gas station (which was often because the streets after Katrina were so bad that I once had five flat tires in an hour. On a FOUR-WHEELED CAR!), I treated myself to a Diet Mountain Dew and a Chick-o-Stick. They are “crunchy peanut butter and toasted coconut sticks,” sorta like the inside of a Butterfinger, they are just 25 cents (10 cents for the minis), and they are marvelous. But they’re rare on this side of the Mason-Dixon. I do a little jig every time I see them at an NYC bodega. Which is only about once a month so I really make the jig count, y’know?
