I hear today that the July 4th celebrations held at Feltwell have been cancelled due to funding cutbacks.Anyone able to confirm or deny 

I can confirm that it has been cancelled for 2013. Sorry :( 

I'm really bummed now. Where will I get my deep fried Twinkies??? 

You won't get them anywhere...they don't make Twinkies anymore...the new company will not begin production in the factory until sometime in July.

You might get lucky if it's by July 4th. 

I can make you some homemade twinkies! I make them daily, they are delish! ;) 

Well whip some mass quantities up woman, you can make a killing on an AF base... Well, until July anyways.

Daily?! lol that's too much temptation for me! Although.......I do miss that cakey, yellow deliciousness.... 

No, not really...twinkies creep me out. I do, however have an Authtentic Mexican restaurant in the works.... 

Ahhhh, NOW we're talking! Real Mexican food sounds fantastic about now.
What time do you want us to come over? ;) 

No, not really...twinkies creep me out. I do, however have an Authtentic Mexican restaurant in the works....

O.O!!!! *fingers crossed for some street style tacos!!!* 

Not to be negative, but as a Texan who lived on the Mexican border for 4 years, I have to ask: Are we talking Tex-Mex or authentic Mexican? 

Oh, Tex Mex sounds good too. You all are killing me. 

Well authentic to me is Cali style. So giant burritos with rice (Spanish, not white) refried beans and a meat, carnitas, chile verde enchiladas, tamales...those types of things. What's authentic to you? Chile Colorado? My girlfriend makes that all the time, I had never had it before. 

Mmm chicken mole! Can't forget that :) Hope to be as authentic as we can, finding what I need on the economy is a challenge. 

I guess I meant more along the lines of flavor. Growing up Texan I practically lived on what I thought was Mexican food, but when I moved to the border I realized what I considered authentic Mexican was really Tex-Mex and I wasn't a fan of the real deal. 

Oh...I myself am not a fan of Tex Mex. Isn't that what the Mexican restaurants here in UK serve? 

Isn't that what the Mexican restaurants here in UK serve?

Dear God no. What they serve here is as close to Tex-Mex as, I dunno, an ice cream sandwich. 

Lol. I tried looking up Tex Mex recipes but it's coming up with some wacky stuff man...but I saw enchiladas, carnitas, chimichangas. :D

DO EET! That's what I'm used to as mexican food as well. I miss heading to the local taco trucks and ordering some yum tacos con langua or asada... Oh man...and some authentic horchata?? YES PLEASE! 

Tortas..mmmm tortas... 

Chimichangas in Bury is actually not bad for UK's version of Mexican. I've lived overseas long enough that I found is really good.... but that may because I haven't had any real Mexican food since 2007. 

I JUST made some Horchata today!!! Love the stuff, my son would drink it like water if I let him. We had Carnitas last night. I'm spoiling my husband..Cinco De Mayo is coming up ya know. Hahaha
I have not been to Chimichangas, haven't heard good things though. We went to the place in Cambridge Leisure center when we first moved here and that was TERRIBLE!! 

Cinco De Mayo is coming up ya know. Hahaha

Are you hosting a party?? ;) 

What are we wearing to your party, Peace? I left my sombrero in Arizona :( Can't wait for some yummy REAL Mexican food!! 

We are actually getting ready to go to someone else's! Thank goodness, I won't have to clean up the mess for once!

I'll actually get to have a drink or two this year! I was pregnant the last two years. LOL

Have a great time! :) We will be celebrating at home with silent prayers that an authentic mexican restaurant opens up around here in the near future ;)

You just made me miss Chili's on birthdays... :P 

BACK ON TOPIC....

i "heard" that barton mills car boots is gonna attempt to put on "something" on July 4th.. personally i wont be going as it wont be a scratch on what was on base & who else is involved in it doesnt deserve my money (with a connection to Zack/Zeta FM) 

No, not really...twinkies creep me out. I do, however have an Authtentic Mexican restaurant in the works....
Peace: Please let me know when this happens, I am considering short touring here because you cannot find an authentic Mexican Restaurant anywhere on this island. Chimichanga's is garbage - it's like "new age" kind of mexican food... way overpriced. Contact me when you restaurant is set up... my fam and I will frequent 3 to 4 times a week! 

I PM'd you back a3796410uu :) 

A July 4th plan is in the earliest stages of development for RAF Mildenhall cardholders. More to follow as it becomes available.
