Grew up in The County and had never heard of them until reading the article. Are those a "down south" thing?

Very much a County thing. They were kind of a poverty food in the County so maybe before your time. Kids often brought them to school in their lunchboxes. Like whoopie pies used to be before they went viral.

I get that. MY point is that living in the "potato" part of Maine, I've never heard of it.
