Gas Station Gourmet: April 2010
http://hollyrancher.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
I eat weird gas station food and then write about it. Friday, April 30, 2010. I Believe in Ferries. What: Prawn Cocktail Pringles. Where: Between Belfast and Dublin. Cost: £1.99. The verdict: not actually gross. It would be more accurate if these chips were labeled Prawn Cocktail Sauce. Flavoured, since they really just taste of tomato sauce. Maybe a slight prawny smell, but definitely not too fishy tasting. If you're Canadian and like Ketchup chips than I would suggest these as a nice alternative. We wo...

Gas Station Gourmet: March 2010
http://hollyrancher.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
I eat weird gas station food and then write about it. Monday, March 29, 2010. I like my Coffee Crisp crisp. What: Coffee Crisp Chocolate Milk. Where: 7-Eleven, Toronto. Cost: Unknown (was in my fridge for a while). Coffee Crisps are one of my favourite chocolate bars so I was excited to try this drink - even though I cannot really drink milk. This drink is to milk what processed cheese is to cheddar. The main ingredient is milk and they tell you to "shake it! Before you "drink it! I was a child who ate l...

Gas Station Gourmet: March 2008
http://hollyrancher.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
I eat weird gas station food and then write about it. Sunday, March 30, 2008. The following post was written by Miss Allison Wonderland. I don't really condone smoking, but I have to admit that having one smoker in the band does give us a little more street cred. Expect to see more of these posts in the coming months, since Allison is as curious about odd tobacco products as I am about unusual food. What: Swisher Sweets (Grape). When: Mar. 11, 2008. Cost: $3.49 for 2. May Contain Traces of Allison. When:...

Gas Station Gourmet: April 2008
http://hollyrancher.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
I eat weird gas station food and then write about it. Saturday, April 26, 2008. A Hundred and One Pounds of Fun. What: Little Debbie Iced Honey Bun. When: Apr. 25, 2008. Where: Salt Lake City, Nevada. But there it was, so I ate it. Honey Buns come either glazed or iced. Neither look particularly appealing, but the iced ones look like they have been dipped in white out. The icing is so thick and opaque that it almost completely smooths out the contours of the bun beneath it. May Contain Traces of honey bun.

Gas Station Gourmet: Chips and Dales
http://hollyrancher.blogspot.com/2010/05/chips-and-dales.html
I eat weird gas station food and then write about it. Sunday, May 2, 2010. What: Romney's Kendal Mint Cake (Brown). Where: Tan Hill Inn, Yorkshire Dales. Cost: Unknown (purchased by Basia). The Tan Hill Pub is the highest pub in Great Britain. We were lucky enough to be playing inside a converted barn at a music festival there, full of old friends and motherless lambs. The smell of mint wafted up to me as I read the package. Apparently this is the exact brand of mint cake that Tenzing Norgay would ha...

Gas Station Gourmet: November 2010
http://hollyrancher.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
I eat weird gas station food and then write about it. Thursday, November 18, 2010. I can think of witches good and bad. What: Wicked Whoopie (Peanut Butter). Where: The Highway, Pennsylvania. Cupcakes are passé, you guys. Everybody who follows the ups and downs of the hand-held cake industry knows that the new queen in the fairy cake kingdom is the whoopie pie. Or maybe there is something even newer and hipper now, I don't know. I let my subscription lapse. It's basically an icing sandwich. I can think o...

Gas Station Gourmet: I Cannot Tell a Lie
http://hollyrancher.blogspot.com/2010/09/i-cannot-tell-lie.html
I eat weird gas station food and then write about it. Tuesday, September 28, 2010. I Cannot Tell a Lie. What: Raspberry Jelly Graham Cookies. Where: Manhattan, NY. There was only one thing I really wanted to see in New York this time around. I first heard of Economy Candy through David Lebovitz. And I was determined to check it out sometime during our three days in the city. I purchased many things. These cookies jumped out at me as I was checking out and I'm glad I followed my gut. Takka Takka, Sam Izdat.

Gas Station Gourmet: Super Troopers
http://hollyrancher.blogspot.com/2010/05/super-troopers.html
I eat weird gas station food and then write about it. Thursday, May 6, 2010. Where: Jönköping, Sweden. Cost: 12.00 SEK. I bought this chocolate bar in a gas station in Jönköping but I was hesitant to try it. I don't really like black liquorice and this was a chocolate bar full of it. But, as always, boredom got the best of me during the long drive to Oslo today so I pulled it out of my purse, determined to have a nibble. Of course chocolate makes everything better. And this bar was "chok-o-licious".
