Re: Explain these foods to me.
a) Twinkie
A twinkie is a type of pastry (sort of). The middle is cream filled, the outside is this type of spongy cake. They aren't good at all compared to donuts but are cheaper and are often eaten by children. They have an insanely long shelf life supposedly.
b) egg nog
it's a drink about the same thickness as a runny milkshake. It is made using eggs as you could guess and has an eggy flavor. Usually made with hazelnut I believe as well. Very common drink at Christmas parties and around christmas time. When adults drink it normally there is some brandy or other alcohol in there. Egg nog is actually very good at masking the alcohol so you can get pretty drunk on it. When someone says someones been drinking too much egg nog it's a reference to them being drunk.
c) taco bell
taco bell is a fast food restaurant. It's supposed to be Mexican food but it's nowhere near authentic. You have tacos, burritos, and other stereotypical mexican dishes like chalupas. It's perhaps the most popular fast food restaurant in the US in terms of peoples opinion of it, certainly for people between the age of 15 and 35.
