Loony Singer - welcome to the secret cult!

I was having lunch one day in the breakroom at work, and noticed someone opening a dessert. The packaging was clear plastic, and the object within was clearly recognizable to me. I said to him "is that a Tastykake Creme-filled cupcake package?" He looked at me wide-eyed and said "Yes! How did you know that?" Turns out he'd been at Drexel for five years, and developed at taste for them. Then while wandering the aisles at Market Basket somewhere near Dover he spotted them on an endcap and nearly lost his mind! As yet I haven't seen them in the Tilton Market Basket, but I have put in a request to the management there.

On occassion I have also been able to find Scrapple in the freezer section at Vista on South Main Street in Laconia. Of course, it's not Habbersett's, but when you're this far from the source you can't be choosy.


Now the really exciting news is that Taylor Ham (porkroll) can be found at TWO local establishments here - The Gourmet Barn on Rte 3 in Lochmere, and at our beloved Wine'ing Butcher as well! The owners of the Gourmet Barn (known to many as Between-the-Bagel) are originally from Jersey, and have always had this as part of their menu. Not at all sure how the folks at the Wine'ing butcher found out about the stuff, but I'm darned glad they did!

now I'm hungry ...
