but alas, no hobnobs rolling out of this darling's hot little ovens. although i did stumble upon some spectacular commentary on her website:
'The Little Debbie® brand has become number one for two reasons: quality and value. McKee Foods uses secret recipes and the highest-quality ingredients, thereby improving the taste of the snack cakes. The snack cakes are also sold at a reasonable price. In fact, Little Debbie® products on average sell for half that of other leading brands. That's due to manufacturing efficiencies the company has developed over decades of baking experience.'
i don't know about you- but i certainly was thinking quality and value last time i got sick on donut sticks and zebra cakes. must have been those uber refined manufacturing efficiencies and pentagon secured secret recipes that were a little heavy on my delicate palate.
it turns out hobnobs are a british thing- and since i've never set foot on ye olde isle of pale and pasty i had no clue. although i think they may be circulating in certain circles in australia, explaining the vague recollection. i did, however, find this picture to help all of us hobnob-virgins figure out exactly what we're working with...
google image search is my hero
perhaps the butter queen can shed some light on this topic...? is this the real reason why you moved to london?

i love those stripey little christmas trees. yum. and did you notice that there is also a little debbie's gift shop? they have a wickedly cool "Snack Cake Kitchen" which is actually Play-Doh...and the tag line is "Fun to play with, but not to eat!" damnit. like who has not eaten play-doh? those hobnobs look awfully good to eat though... interesting shape. mag, do you know if they sell the penis shaped ones alongside other cracker/cookie type things at the regular grocery store? that would be awesome.i would love that. like the time i almost crapped my pants because of the mini liquor store wedged between the kitchen goods and potato chip aisles at uber stop n shop a la massachusets...
yeah- a penis shaped hobnob might be a bit much for the queen mum- scandal!
