I had a good chuckle at some local Maine events recently.

Whoopie pies are a thing up here. They come in numerous flavors, everyone makes them and everyone loves them. (Except my husband, for reasons I’ve never understood. They’re delightful) And while a wine pairing with whoopies might seem strange to some, it’s perfectly logical to us.

.
Cocktails? Yes.
Fried bugs? No.
I’d have to be very, very happy to reach for those.

Can’t believe I missed this one!
Maine has very few rabbits left in the wild and there are none in my area. I would totally have eaten pastries and cuddled bunnies!

Love whoopie pies, but not with wine.

I’m so sorry you missed the bunny cuddle.
I don’t think I’ve ever had a whoopie pie.

The chocolate cakes are spongy and moist. The filling should be freshly whipped and light. Lots of places cheat and use vanilla frosting. Blech.

If you can’t find a whoopie pie here, you aren’t trying. Can’t find a rabbit? I’ll get back to you.

I never saw a Whoopie when we lived in NC. But we were on the coast….

That’s very sad about the bunnies. I know in NH so much wildlife has come back in the last 100 years as trees grow back (clear cut for farming in the 17-1800s). I hope the bunnies return like the turkeys and the bobcats.

Also, I feel like not naming that event “An Evening of Wine & Whoopie” was a missed opportunity.

Whoopie pies were a thing when we visited friends in PA twenty years ago. I tried one; couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. A squishy Oreo.
My sister was given a gift box of fried insects about 65 years ago. There was a little key (like a Whitman’s Sampler) to ID the bugs.
The rabbits here are so bold they don’t move when I walk out the back door. One calmly ate a milkweed 3 feet from me yesterday as I sat on the porch. I could probably step over them on the way to the clothesline if I didn’t choose to walk around them.

We have a ton of bunnies. It was a very productive bunny season. Yes, I’d pass on the fried bugs, too.

I have a friend who had a bunny for years – he hopped around the house freely and ended up gnawing all the electric cables. Cost my friend a fortune but boy was he well loved. Aren’t lobsters considered giant cockroaches?

I had a pet bunny in high school. It destroyed every single wire it could find.

Whoopie pies and wine doesn’t sound like that pleasant a pairing… but I’m willing to have a go!!!

I would love to cuddle some Bunnies! I can pass on the Whoopi Wine Party and would definitely steer clear of Fried Bugs.
