Damn, I left in 2011, and I can’t even remember reading about him passing away. 2014 was a very stressful year, including a major surgery on the other side of the world. But I feel very un-Bostonian for not knowing this or remembering it. He was the mayor for most of my time spent in Boston, Cambridge, and the MetroWest as an adult.

I think you’re right, it may have been a McFlurry. The Smash a Pav billboards always amuse me when they have the pavlova McFlurries. You’d think I eat there often, but I usually just get chai lattes from Macca’s.

I remember seeing the El Maco advertisements, but I’ve never had one. It was definitely a while ago. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you that bring it back sooner rather than later.

They’re fried all over the world except for most of the USA.

I currently live in Australia and some of the specialty pies would make you cry. I don’t eat them often, but they had a creme brûlée pie a few months back. It was filled with custard and caramel. My husband and I split one, and then went back the next evening to get one each for dessert with a hot fudge sundae. So bomb!
