Food spam

People in my life seem to be craving American food today. My dad wants a pretzel because he's never eaten (or seen) one and he wants to know what kind of mighty snack could choke an American president, while marymac wants a Twinkie so she can explode it in the microwave.

Personally, I'd love some s'mores so I could find out what the hell they are...

My non-American friends are always mystified by the mention of "graham cracker", and they're named after an American, so I assume we did invent them. Basically they're very thin, very crisp cookies (biscuits?) that are flavored with honey and cinnamon. They're available in every American grocery store, so I've never bothered to make them by hand (nor known anyone who does), but there are recipes to make them.
