Peeps are gross

Cafe Society
1

They taste like marshmallow sandpaper.

2

They look terrifying as well. No food should be that colour.

I thought this was going to be a cannibalism thread from the hood. Never mind. Carry on.

4

People eat them?

I thought you just did things to them.

5

Some people not only eat them, they recommend* letting them get stale* before eating them.

The horror.

6

Wow, I never thought about it that way, friedo, but that is exactly what they taste like.

I had never had them before, not being of the Easter-celebrating persuasion, but somebody brought a box into the office the other day and I was informed that they were God’s gift to man.

He can keep them.

Some friends and I recently competed in a Peep-construction contest.

I actually like Peeps. Kick me and abuse me, but I do.

I like them best toasted gently over a fire, like with regular marshmallows, so that the sugar on the outside caramelizes and creates a thin, crisp, shell with a gooey inside.

Thanks for the free peep show, Melon.

Regular Peeps are gross, but I had (at Halloween) chocolate mousse Peeps (cat shaped) that were fuckin Awesome.

Haven’t seen them except that Halloween though - hopefully they will be more widely available.

“marshmallow sandpaper” is such an apt description that I’m surprised I’ve never heard it before.

I like peeps. I like stale peeps even more, but this! Whoo - this sounds delicious! Too bad we can’t get peeps here. Maybe there will be some Easter leftovers on sale when we go to the States in June. Should have a near perfect consistency by then.

Then I will roast them in fire until they swell and nearly blacken and then I will eat their warm gooey sweet little carcasses. Mmmmmm…

Yo! Sending you peeps to the Cafe Society, from MPSIMS.

15

They’re colourful, sugar-coated sugar-puffs, maybe it’s just the child in me, but I really don’t see how anyone could go wrong with that combination.

I like Baker’s idea of roasting them over a fire, never tried it but it’s now a must-do.

16

Smoosh their faces in!!! Smoosh their faces in!!!

17

That’s fucking awesome.

A friend of mine buys Peeps every year. He slits the plastic open and sets them in the kitchen cabinet. Then, the next Easter, he eats them. That’s right. He lets them get stale for a year. Horrifyingly, they don’t mold, they just get really hard. :eek:

Haters gonna hate.

I just had a Peep seconds before reading this thread. In a few minutes I expect my blood sugar to spike and then rapidly bottom out.
