Peeps

[sioneva]

In my mourning that the UK does not appear to have Peeps in any form, I came across this page, which (although stating that Peeps are exported to England, something I have NEVER seen), also claims the following about microwaving a Peep

Me, too! Me, too!

Life is equally hard in Spain.
:(
I want PEEPS!
And Reeses anything and ooohhhhh....shades of my childhood.....
chocolate marshmallow eggs!

We do have Reese's in the UK in some stores but never, ever the eggs. Or Reese's Pieces, for that matter.

Would you like me to send you some peanut butter cups?!

Life in Europe is HARD!!!

[pondhopper]

Life in Europe is HARD!!!

We are SO deprived, aren't we?

Is there anything I can send you from Spain in exchange for the Reese's? I'd love some and I'm drooling thinking about them. And I just ate!
:P

[sioneva]

I can't think of anything at the moment but shall ponder it!

Will get some sent as soon as I get the chance...time is a precious commodity these days ;)

Give me your address, and I'll ship anything you want, well in time for Easter. A girl's just gotta have her peeps.

My contact info is here.

YAY PEEPS!!!!! Food of the gods!!

[anaxila]

Done! Peeps and Reese's eggs and other assorted treats are on their way, and the PO says it'll be 6-10 days for delivery. I imagine the shelf life of your average Peep is quite a bit longer than that, so you should be fine.

The good people in Customs occasionally get all huffy about importing foodstuffs, and despite the fact that I'll gladly go toe-to-toe with anyone who calls Peeps "food" (blech!), I decided discretion is the better part of valor. The box is labeled "used children's toys". Heh.

[sioneva]

Hurrah!!!!

Thank you for sending me a lovely box of "used children's toys" ;)

Peeps are one of those love 'em or hate 'em foodstuffs (edible objects?). I don't know why I love them so. On the other hand, I HATE those nasty, awful Valentine's Day chatty heart things and I know lots of people who love them.

I shall let you know when the toys arrive!

You've never microwaved a Peep?

... you've missed out. One of the best cheap college dorm entertainments, IMHO, is Peep jousting. It's silly fun.

[sioneva]

I have never, ever microwaved one! Or jousted them!

I was too busy eating them, you see ;)

[lacyintx]

Babygirl and I love Peeps. However... she is not allowed to microwave them.... unless I am there too!

WOOHOO!!! YAY Spring time! YAY PEEPS!!!!!

[sioneva]

As I am 30, I hope my mother will let me microwave them unsupervised ;)

Someday I will get to microwave one!

I am craving Reese's eggs badly.

How is a hollow chocolate egg and two candy bars the equivilant of an easter basket? And not even any bunnies or chickies, just Cadbury ads all over it? It's like some sort of nationalised child abuse.

[sioneva]

Hear, hear.

There is something to be said for the overcommercialisation of Easter in the US ;)

[ionracas]

Yeah, I have lots of happy memories of colouring eggs with my cheapo Paas kit and hunting for foil covered chocolate eggs around the house on easter morning. OMG I can't wait to have this baby!!! We are going to have so much fun:)
