pistachios = crack

I can't stand the darn things. I barely tolerate them in middle eastern dessert items that involve lots of honey and crunchy bits.

pistachio is good!

there is a pistachio farm up the way from me and they sell items from their home, the lady makes an amazing relish.. Red Tomato and Pistachio Relish.. OMG!! yum on a well done t-bone steak.

coffee.

While technically a necessary bodily fluid (like blood or saliva) coffee isn't actually a food, I do enjoy not going without it for more than an hour or so.

Mountain Dew - the caffeine and sugar calls to me.

Sun_Sparkz · 07-12-2005, 11:43 PM

toasted sandwhiches = i am on my third for today.

cheese and tomato = yum and easy
bolognaise, mash potato and grated cheese = drool!
ham and cheese = ok in a hurry
milo and butter ~ with ice cream on after its toasted = desert sandwhich
Peanut butter, honey and banana = TASTY!!

What's milo?

Sun_Sparkz · 07-13-2005, 04:57 PM

oh!! you have never had milo!!

Maybe its an Aussie thing? It has the consistency of coffee but it is chocolate, primarily used to flavour milk, can beadded to almost anything (ice cram, bread, drinks etc.)

yum!
www.milo.com.au

The US is not one of the 30 countries in which the product is available. The website says it's fully of vitaminy goodness, and also mentions malt as a component. Near as I can figure, it's like Ovaltine, because the consistency you are describing is very different from Nestle's Quik powder.

elSicomoro · 07-14-2005, 01:57 AM

My parents will no longer buy any Nestle products. Nestle is closing their 3 St. Louis plants next year, and my stepdad will be unemployed after 42 years with them.

Is it like Marmite? I tried that stuff once...

I think I was wrong on the Fanta thing...I was actually thinking of Shasta. Maybe they were the same thing???

I like to eat buttered toast with molasses on it. yum. I dunno what it is about molasses, but I love the taste.

I am sorry to hear about your stepdad, Syc. If it makes you feel any better, their cocoa powder sucks for making cake. I like Giradellis.

elSicomoro · 07-14-2005, 05:14 PM

Milo and Marmite appear to be two totally different food items, though I was originally thinking of Marmite myself when Sun said Milo.

Shasta has always been American to my knowledge, but did have 950 flavors...I don't see it much these days.

Thanks, Case. He'll be alright...he's essentially retiring early (he turns 61 in September), and he's getting a pretty decent package from them.

kerosene · 07-14-2005, 05:29 PM

Yes, shasta was the kind my grandma had all the time...and in about a million different flavors. Fanta...I remember orange...but I can't remember much else about it. Fanta was the stuff I had in Czech that came in Raspberry flavor.

Isn't Marmite the British equivalent of Vegemite? Foul-tasting, salty vegetable (so they claim, I think it's ground up babies or something) paste?

I mostly remember Shasta as a kid in Illinois, particularly as a diet soda. It probably had all those yummy cyclamates in it. I don't remember seeing it here in Pennsylvania, though. Possibly because we had our own regional cheap soda company ... mmmmm Frank's Black Cherry Wishniak!

The Shasta website has a wealth of information on Shasta history, flavors, and even a special Hispanic section.

I occasionally buy A-Treat because they have Blue soda. The best Blue Soda, though was Blue Sky Soda, came in a glass bottle. Last saw it in the late 80s. This is NOT the same Blue Sky Soda that you can get at the hippie grocery store, which is all kinds of organic crap with no chemicals. Weren't nothin' real in my Blue Sky Soda ... it was a most awesome (to some frightening) shade of electric blue, and tasted particularly blue as well. Blue Pepsi came close for flavor, but not for color.

My family did drink Shasta... but they were also really into Slice... and the flavor that my mom and her parents just thought was the coolest was Diet Apple Slice. It was actually pretty good, or at least I liked it at the time. I'd love to try some now.
