All this talk over the last few days about Oreos was making me a bit annoyed about living on the 'right' side of the Atlantic since I was missing out on all the fun. The best I could claim was that when I was in Canada a year or so ago I had some Oreo ice cream (which was rather agreeable )

Anyway, on the way home from work yesterday, I stopped for petrol (gasoline) and what did I see on my way through the door of the filling station but little 6-packs of Oreos!!! In Portadown of all places!!! I bought a little packet and tried one on the way home, thinking "I must keep some of these until I can get a glass of ice cold milk" Unfortunately, the 6 biscuits didn't last the 10 mile journey home so I'll have to hope they get some more... there were only about 3 packs left in the shop when I was there.

(I have to say they reminded me a bit of 'Bourbon' biscuits, except they have chocolate 'creme', and the Oreos were much nicer... do chocolate bourbons exist anywhere outside of UK biscuit tins???)
