Which of these dishes is NOT served at Times Square's Pop-Tarts World?
And the answer is ...
c) Pizza-Tart: assorted gummi fruits on a Brown Sugar Pop-Tart
Yes, the Pop-Tarts World Cafe does in fact serve Ants on a Log, Fluffer Butters and the notorious Pop-Tarts sushi. Famous New York Times food writer Mark Bittman visited the cafe on the day it opened, and had this to say about the dish:
"In a moment of sugar-induced delerium I may have uttered the words 'well balanced' (because of the slight tartness of the pulverized strawberry(?) Pop-Tarts). Then my senses returned and told me 'this #$!% has got to stop.'"
