How To Properly Eat Fruit Creme Cookies.

When I was growing up my Babushka, like all self-respecting Europeans, always had lots of cookies(and that she always offered to me every time I'd visit), incl. the Fruit Creme ones pictured here( always one of my faves. and I still eat to this day) along with Shortbread, Social Tea, Coffee Breaks, etc. and I don't know if this is an "autistic thing" or what (or just something I carried thru from childhood) but this is the proper way( or at least the way I've always done it,anyway) to eat the Fruit Creme ones, step-by-step:

First of all you have the complete cookie, shown above, untouched.

Then you eat the top layer of cookie off it first, leaving the cream in the middle, the jelly sugar centre, and the bottom cookie underneath.

Then you eat the creme in the middle, followed by the cookie underneath.

Leaving the best part, the jelly centre, for last!

Yum!

The same thing goes for the Viva Puffs:

You first crack the chocolate coating on top and peel that off and eat it, and then you peel off the marshmallow layer and eat that, and then lastly eat the bottom cookie with the jam on it.

Oreos are the same. There's a method.

Even if you eat 2-3 of them(or more!) at once.

First of all you take them all apart, separating the creamy centres from the cookies and removing the creme centre.

Then you eat all the cremy centres, followed by all the chocolate cookie parts individually, which, BTW, I think are the best parts.

Any other way is just.....well, weird.
