Food mentioned in BSC books

I google-image'd graham crackers, and I think I can imagine what they are - are they sweet?

And sugarmonkey, they're toasted marshmallows on graham crackers with a chocolate bar?! Where does the chocolate bar go?

[ktag]

The chocolate and marshmallow go in between the graham crackers, and then they're melted.

I used to cheat and make s'mores in my microwave. The marshmallows weren't toasty but they were still darn good. I don't think I've ever done the whole marshmallow on a stick in a campfire thing. Who knew s'mores were just an American thing? Makes me wonder what kind of good stuff I'm missing from other countries.

I can't think of what you'd be missing from Australia... Damper? Vegemite on toast? Do you guys have pikelets? And Nutella?

OMG I had no clue that 'smores weren't a world-wide treat. Mmmm they are sooo goooooood!! Super super super messy though, they fall apart as soon as you take one bite. When do the BSC girls make 'smores?! We used to try to roast marshmallows on the stove at my house when we were little (and my mom wasn't home).

^ yeah, my first thought upon reading the description of s'mores was how sticky your fingers must get!!! They sound mouth-watering though!!!

[booboobrewer]

Wow, I have such a craving for s'mores now!


ETA: Was skimming through Dawn and the Surfer Ghost, and I love the smoothies Dawn and Stephie order. Strawberry banana and peach...yum.

I was making my dinner tonight, and it's chopped up sausages in gravy and I realised that it's starting to resemble the Pike's Daddy Stew :S
I'm not sure I want to eat it

I can't believe I didn't mention this before, but everything served at Abby and Anna's bat mitzvah reception sounded so good.

Frozfruits are mentioned a few times when the BSC or Stacey go to New York... what are these? I imagine them to be frozen fruit things on sticks, as Stacey can eat them, but apparently they're also capable of melting...

[lilafowler]

They're a type of ice pop, but made with pureed fruit and fruit juice rather than just water with flavors and colors added.

In Claudia and the Phantom Phone Calls, when Claud and Kristy babysit for Jamie Newton and his cousins (The Feldmans), they give them chocolate chip cookies with little scoops of ice cream on them. It always sounded really good when I was a kid, and I started doing it. It's soooo addicting.

[Deleted]

I remember Stacey talking about freezing milky ways and saying they tasted like frozen chocolate milkshakes. I tried it out and although they tasted pretty good, they weren't like frozen chocolate milkshakes! I still freeze them to this day though.

(Now that I think of it, when I went to the US last summer, what they called Milky Ways would have been what we call Mars bars over here... so maybe I'm freezing the wrong chocolate bar?)

[starrynight]

I freeze Milky Ways all the time.....and they're definitely not like Mars Bars!

[macca]

^ I always thought the freezing Milky Ways was a little odd. Don't they just go rock hard? I like my chocolate cold (always put it in the fridge before eating!) but not frozen solid!
