Today for the first time I saw a Hostess strawberry pie. The only Hostess pie I have not seen yet is the raspberry pie. Maybe it will be available here someday.
Can someone please tell me if there is any way to get my hands on any Hostess fruit pie in any flavor??? I just ended a Paypal Dispute with Fresh Chocodiles.com b/c I ordered and never received them…..but I have been dying for Cherry & Apple Hostess pies for years and havent seen one in NY??? Help!!!
They have both flavors across the street from my house at a little neighborhood market, in Middletown, CT.
REALLY????? I CAN’T IMAGINE WHY I CAN’T GET THEM HERE IN NYC…….ANY INTEREST IN MAKING A FEW BUCKS AND SHIPPING ME SOME????

Something about Hostess pies turns me off. Maybe it’s the words "beef fat" in the ingredients. I know animal fat traditionally was used in pies, but in this day and age, it seems like a very unhealthy and unnecessary relic.Actually, my wife tells me Oreo cookies used to contain animal fat, too. But now they don’t. So if Nabisco can take it out, why can’t Hostess?
If I want a pie, I’ll take a real, homemade one over the packaged variety any time.
Ahhhhhh, not true at all.
You see beef fat, or lards, are better tasting and more natural and less preprocessed.
All this new crap, with this anti-trans fat kick, we are getting hydrogenated oils, waste oil now called canola and all sorts of "better" oils that may be less in terms of calories or have less saturated fat, but are toxic.
Did you know most vegetable oils at or near medium and higher cooking temps become toxic and create carcinogenic and mutagenic garbage, where animal fats do not even to very high temperatures?
Also note all the haute cuisine , French, new American, or any other high class cooking always uses lard and bone marrow wherever possible over lesser substitutes.
Your notion of health cant simply be calories. Check out the people who have lost a lot of weight on "fatkins" Atkins – and then go to the doctor and get lower triglycerides and LDL cholesterol readings.
Processed food in general is bad. The bleached flour in a hostess pie is far more of an issue than the beef lard.
And if you drink coke, note that when in Great Britain/UK , they use sugar. Coke classic tastes great! But here in hte USA, we now use High Fructose Corn Syrup. Tastes like crap, and is very unhealthy processes crap. They hid the recipe change by making "New Coke", and when they switches back to "CocaCola Classic" they put in HFCS vs sugar.
There is absolutely NOTHING (at least not CHEAPER) that tastes better than real animal lards in cooking. PERIOD. Food is tasting like crap and actually goes rancid a LOT faster than it used to due to all the stupid mettling around with age old recipes, and everyone is getting fatter all the time despite the innumerable "healthy" substitutions going on.
The animal fat used to skeeve me out too when I first noticed it. It’s like "yuck; that’s meat, I don’t want meat in my sweets". Afterwards, I would think I was tasting meat in the cakes and pies, and began avoiding them in favor of good ol’ Drakes, which was 100% vegetable (even the pies, unlike anyone else, until Little Debbie and Entenmann’s added them recently).
The non-tropical vegetable oils are supposed to be healthier. Olive oil is probably the healthiest, though I don’t see it being used in sweets, and its taste I associate with nonsweet "dinner foods" just as much anyway. But meat fat, especially pig (lard) is the least healthy, and that’s why they have been gradually getting rid of it. I’m wondering how long before the beef goes. (Since Some of the Hostess products here in NY are actually made at the Drake bakery with the merger, they are actually not only all vegetable, but also bore a kosher symbol, until the new package design was introduced, and not customized for this area yet. This included the Twinkies and Ding Dongs).

Do they even make the blackberry or raspberry pies anymore. I have money in hand for a shipment if anybody can find them.
I WANT PEACH [:p]
Also if there is someone here willing to mail me a box of blueberry pies, I’ll be your best friend. I will of course, pay you for your trouble.

There’s nothing more American than apple pie, but millions of Americans would argue about their favorite flavor of Hostess Fruit Pies. Apple, cherry, pineapple, lemon, blackberry, strawberry, French apple – a trip to the snack cake aisle can be like visiting a country fruit stand.Just saw this on the hostess website. I guess they DID discontinue blueberry. [:(][:(!]
I saw on a 7-11 today several pies not mentioned there, including chocolcate pudding.

Then blueberry pies should be in abundance right now because this is blueberry season. I see them quite regularly so maybe it’s just that they aren’t available in every area. Chocolate pies made a comeback to my area so maybe there is hope for other flavors, namely blackberry.
As others have said on this thread, blueberry is a seasonal flavor. It’ll be back when it’s in season again.
