Oreos

We just saw Oreos for the first time at "Hit," our local Austrian supermarket chain. I'm not really an Oreo fiend back home -- might only buy a package or two a year, although I do enjoy a good Oreo blizzard at Dairy Queen. They don't the have regular cookie packages (50+ cookies) here, but instead come in either 6-cookie "snack packs" or boxes with four 4-cookie packs. We were going to buy a box for novelty sake, but realized that we might never see them at the store again, so bought two.

They taste like America.

The package describes them as "Cocoa Flavoured Sandwich Biscuits," which I suppose is true, but seems wholly inadequate to describe the Oreo experience. They are delicious with a side of disgusting and a helping of addiction. They are not really food, but a food product. It is not something you could conceivably imagine ever being able to make in your kitchen.
Fantastic.
