cult food: MoonPies!

It’s [tag]MoonPie[/tag] season, kids, so stock up now!

Moonpie.com even has a folk art page with a tribute to Visionary Artist [tag]Howard Finster[/tag].

The new issue of [tag]Saveur[/tag] has a small write-up about the cult of MoonPies and mentions a recent book about them from the [tag]University of Florida Press[/tag], MoonPie: Biography of an Out-of-This-World Snack.

Honestly, I don’t have strong feelings either way about MoonPies. Or at least I didn’t think I did, until I saw that there are now strawberry MoonPies and found myself feeling most aggrieved, as I’m allergic to strawberries. So maybe, at least subconsciously, I have some attachment to the gooey things after all.
