Post by: tehjaybo on June 09, 2009, 12:11:17 PM: I don't hate them, but I would rather have some other type of snack.

Then again, it has been years since I ate any. I will be going to WalMart on my lunch break, and obtaining these so called "fig-filled cakelike treats".

"Brocolli please, "

lunch lady was like " Just....Broccoli?!"

me : " Just broccoli"
So badass, ate that shit with a happy face.

they discontinued blueberry and apple :(

They're delicious, but I haven't had them in years. The one thing I don't like is the coating they leave in my mouth everytime I have more than one. I will also bring some to Japanbore next time I am in the nihons (hopefully August) and we will get drunk and then have them, as I imagine that is the way to go.

Note to self to buy fig newtons this weekend to see if booze and fig newtons is indeed the way to go. I bet it's awesome.

That'd be great for me, except I'm in Osaka. And Tokyo is probably the one place in Japan that /does/ have them. I've not seen them, but the foreign grocers there seem to have EVERYTHING.

Yeah, we did Kyoto/Osaka/Hiroshima on our honeymoon trip. This time we want to focus on Tokyo (since we didn't see a whole lot of it last time) and the surrounding areas.

Post by: chronovore on June 22, 2009, 03:58:23 AM: Attention Japanborez: if you can't find Fig Newtons, but have access to a Kaldi or other source of imported foods, try LU's Figolu (http://images.google.co.jp/images?q=lu%20figolu&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi). It's pretty good. The outside is a little more biscuit-y, and the inside's a little sweeter and less gritty. They're about 550 a pack at Kaldi, and worth it.
