Oreo Cookies

[Linz_1987]

I couldnt find the original thread about Oreo Cookies soI have posted another one.

I have found them in England!!! I bought mine at 'Lets Eat' at TheCentre Milton Keynes. It was a pack of 3 rows of loadz of Cookies! Theyare sooo nice! Much better than your average bourborn biscuit!

I dont know how much they cost you guys in the US but they was damnexpencive over here. I really wanted to try them though so the moneydidnt bother me at the time. But now when I look back and the packet Ibought is nearly gone....

They were infact £6.25 for the 3 rows. But when you come to think ofit, £2 a row/packet is average for biscuits over here. But there waslike 3 packets in one.

Yay Im so happy! and they are so lush!

Goodness, two weeks ago I'd never heard of these Oreo thingies and now they seem to be everywhere.

Anyone know if they're vegan? If they're a bit like bourbons then they might be

*hoping*

I tried to figure out how much you wound uppaying (converted to Canadian dollars), and it worked out to about$12.69 Canadian....YIKES! :shock2£1 = approx. $2.03 Can) Here apackage of Oreos costs around $2.50 or so. Danged imported goods costso much! But hey, at least you now can get Oreos! Aren't they thegreatest cookies? Oh, and you must eat them by twistingthem apart and licking the centers...that's the law! :brat: (At leastthat's what my son used to tell me when he was little...LOL)

I don't know if they're vegan, but will see if I can find out for you...

Enjoy the cookies....Oreos are the best!

A comedian I saw recently put it very well.

The serving size says about 3 or 4 cookies I think. I have no Ideabecause I eat them by the sleeve. It is like feeding them into a woodchipper - pieces flying everywhere...

I would try them with soy milk DEFINATELY! The taste of an Oreo softened with creamy cold milk is indescribably heavenly...

Oh! Oh! Try some soy ice cream blended with crunched up Oreos! I am telling you - it is awesome!

You may end up needing to have one of us send you a case, it might be cheaper that way...

 

[Bunnys_rule63]

Oreos!! Oh I have to go buy some. I ate them allthe time when I was in America on my holz and I miss them somuch! Mmmm, now to find a 'lets eat' near me.

Well, I tried to find some info as to whether or not Oreos areconsidered vegan, but wasn't all that successful as the answer I foundwas pretty vague. Found out some other interesting stuff about thiscookie though:

Oreo Corporation, introduced in 1912 is a trademark for apopular type of sandwich cookie manufactured by the Nabisco. It is verysimilar to Sunshine's competing Hydrox cookie, introduced in 1908,which, having lost market share to Oreo for years, was withdrawn in1996. The modern design of the Oreo was developed in 1952 by William A.Turnier. It consists of two circular chocolate wafers with a sugarywhite filling (commonly referred to as "cream", although it is actuallynot) sandwiched between them. Originally, Oreos weremound-shaped; hence the name "Oreo" (Greek for "hill"). The moderndesign of the Oreo allows it to be eaten in several ways. Some peopletwist apart the wafers and eat the filling first; others eat the cookiewithout taking it apart. Another but rather fattening way of eatingoreos is to dunk it into milk.

Etymology

Some have suggested the name "Oreo" came about because it was a niceand melodic use of sounds that were easy to pronounce. Others claim thename is based on the French word for gold, a color used on earlypackaged designs. Another theory is that the name comes from the Greekword for mountain (oreo), as previously mentioned.
The Oreo cookie is commonly used as an ingredient or adornment forother foods. Milkshakes containing Oreo cookies are popular, anddeep-fried Oreo cookies, which are batter-dipped Oreos fried likefunnel cakes, are sometimes sold at carnivals and fairs. Also, thedevelopment of premium ice creams has produced "cookies and cream"flavors, a vanilla ice cream with chunks of chocolate sandwich cookiesincluded. Cookies 'n' Cream may or may not contain actual Nabisco Oreocookies, however, and may instead have non-Nabisco brand chocolatesandwich cookies that are functionally identical, such as Hydrox and anendless stream of "generic" brands. Many cookies similar to Oreocookies are commonly referred to as "Oreo" despite not having an actualconnection to Nabisco.

Dietary compatibility

In 1998, Nabisco declared that Oreo cookies were kosher-dairy inKosher diets. On May 13 2003, attorney Stephen Joseph filed suitcharging Nabisco with using hydrogenated, or partially hydrogenated,oils to make the cookies. The suit was dropped as Nabisco consideredreplacing the hydrogenated oils with alternative oils.
As of January 2006, classic Oreo cookies are no longer manufacturedwith hydrogenated oils, older packages will still be on store shelvesfor some time, and other varieties may not have eliminated hydrogenatedoils completely.
Depending on the area of manufacture, Oreo cookies may or may not be vegan.


****(But I did read on one site that 'Golden Oreos - cookies withthe usual cream, but the wafers are yellow instead of chocolate' arecompletely vegan.)

Now, here's what caught my attention:

...and deep-fried Oreo cookies, which arebatter-dipped Oreos fried like funnel cakes, are sometimes sold atcarnivals and fairs.

Deep-fried Oreos??? I've never heard of that before! Can you justimagine what they taste like? Oh man....my arteries would hate me forit, but I'd love to try that just once....

[Linz_1987]

YAY! I found a 'FARM FOODS' shop right across the road to my college. I dont know why I hadnt seen it before as literally you just walk outside of college and there it is!

Anyway Me and my friend went in there on our lunch break. My friend bought about 10 packets of chewits for £1, and 10 packets of polos for £1 and was struggling to carry them all!

And they had Oreos really really cheap! They had packets of 6 biscuits, and you could get 5 packets for £1, so i got 10 packets Stocking up on them! I bet the person at the counter thought I was going to eat all of them

So anybody in the UK who wants to buy Oreo Cookies, find out where your nearest FARM FOODS shop is, and stock up like me!

They are just the best cookie ever, even in England now! And I have found a shop that does them really cheap! YAY happy!
