Hi Dave,
RH> And I'm not a fan of Miracle Whip. I'd use Duke's but been buying an
RH> avocado oil based mayo the past few years, has no chemicals in it.
DD> When I was a kidlet in short pants I used to like it on sandwiches
DD> 'cuz it had a little "bite" to it that made things interesting. But, I
My mom always used the Ann Page salad dressing, cheaper than mayo.
DD> grew
DD> out of that phase and discovered other condiments that I like better
DD> for enhancing boring food. Like Woerber's Horseradish Sauce. Or Heinz
DD> Spicy ketchup (made w/Tabasco)
I grew up with spicy brown mustard, with or without horseradish. Steve
grew up with yellow mustard; when we got married, he converted to spicy
brown so we weren't buying 2.
DD> Only place in town I've found Duke's is at Sav-A-Lot (a "budget"
DD> grover) I did see that Taste of Home did a comparo of various
DD> store0bougt mayos and Duke's was the winner. Hellmans/Best Foods was
DD> second and Kraft was far down the list.
RH> Duke's usually does come out on top. I missed it when we were stationed
RH> outside of the deep south, had to make do with others that generally
RH> weren't as good. I've been in a Sav-A-Lot a couple of times and been
RH> less than impressed. Bought a bag of chicken leg quarters one of the
RH> times, most of the quarters were broken at the joint, had the tip of
RH> the drumstick missing or other issues. Don't recall what else we got
RH> there but it wasn't the quality of main line grocery stores.
DD> That's down to the operator of the Sav-A-Lotd in your area. The
This was up near Nancy's camp on Boyd Pond. I don't think there are any
Sav-A-Lots around here. I was in one in FL with my MIL years ago and saw
nothing that I'd want to buy.
DD> As with any market I'm careful (mostly) with what I buy WRT both price
DD> and quality. The only meat I buy at Sav-A-Lot is prepackaged smoked
DD> sasusage or lunch meat things. Or their bacon ends 'n' pieces - which
DD> are great for applications where the bacon is going to be shopped and
DD> used as flavorant or texture. Regular strip bacon I still buy at GFS -
DD> where they just finished a Memorial Day sale w/3 lb packages of either
DD> regular or thick-sliced for U$9.95. I'm now well stocked.
I know, I don't buy meat at a number of grocey stores, except maybe
lunch meat. Even then, it's usually bought at Wegman's.
DD> If you do not have a food processor, no problem, simply
DD> chop the cabbage, onions, and carrots into small pieces.
DD> Add chopped green bell pepper if desired.
RH> And that's why I don't like KFC slaw; it's too finely chopped for me.
DD> It's about the "chop" as Popeyes (and Wendy's). As long as it has some
DD> "crunch" in it I'm all right with it.
RH> All the Popeyes places I've been to have had their cole slaw rougher
RH> chopped than the fine stuff I've had at KFC (and other places).
DD> It may depend on which commisary the franchisee uses for items like
DD> that. We've only got one KFC store left here (down from 4). I only go
DD> there for the lunch AYCE buffet with friends - never at my suggestion.
We've not gone to KFC in years, tho there's at least one in WF.
