A twinkie is cream-filled sponge cake sold everywhere, but most bought eaten by boomer and Gen X as kids, or as roadtrip garbage.
Toaster Strudel is another processed American special, but it’s better. A frozen flaky pocket pastry with a jam of some sort inside, suitable to be “cooked” in a toaster. Unlike “pop tarts” which are more biscuit-like and shelf-stable, you really need the toaster for a toaster strudel, but your efforts will be (modestly) rewarded.
Can an American please explain what these are like, and why you would have them, over like doughnuts, pastries or other baked goods?
