Apple and tomato anyone?

I do love that it’s very specifically American Santas doing the taste testing here. I didn’t know that was a valuable demographic.

I remember frozen juices sold in cans; my mom even got those at the store.
But for a while, Campbells actually made frozen soup in cans. Wow…not sure I want frozen canned soup.

Well, now we know who’s really to blame for that chowder-sicle halfway up this page. 
I had this picture around for a couple of decades, but never noticed the offending cans until a buddy pointed them out. The internet has a LOT to answer for:

Or at least have Bridget Jones-Nelson fix you one of her famous Campbell’s Soup™ Martinis.

Truffles N Bacon of Las Vegas, Nevada serves this 13 pound burger that can feed 6 people!
It’s regrettable not that it’s bad tasting - it’s because the burger looks messy. Seriously, don’t eat this in your Sunday clothes.

I don’t see the point. If you want a casserole, just order one. Stop denying your true nature.

The point is to get publicity.

Yeah, I know. Wouldn’t want the news to actually be about something newsworthy.
(At least airbrush a saint’s profile on there or something. )

Another entry from Food Insider.
Elsie’s of Haddon Township, New Jersey serves sandwiches…but instead of bread, they make them with pickles.
Who’s up for a pickle sandwich?

I’ll have one, just hold the pickle.

I love pickles, so I’d totally try this! Might wanna slice the pickles a little thinner tho.

The pickle sandwich is slightly odd, but seems okay to me so long as you like pickles in the first place (which I do).

It’s also just the ticket if you’re on a low carb diet! (I’m assuming that’s a dill pickle, not sweet)

The best Dim Sum joint in town had little triangular beef curry pies (the curry sauce was fruity more than spicy), and a round bbq’d pork pie nicknamed as “Pork Cookie,” because the top “crust” really was more like a slightly sweetened cookie. Both of these were snacks with meat but also dessert-y elements. None of our surviving places, good though they are, offer these on their Dim Sum menu.

Yesterday, saw that the merchandise section of the Harry Potter pop-up was something the public could go into, and saw they had official Butterbeer.
Decided to try a bottle ($7!), and that’s all I’ll ever need. I remember years ago someone said the drink Pepsi Blue tasted like one was “drinking gummi bears.” In the case of Butterbeer, it was like drinking a more-tart butterscotch candy.
I’m more willing to mix myself up a Planet Hollywood “Congo,” than ever try Butterbeer again.

A friend of mine who put some time and trouble into developing her own butterbeer recipe tells me that the mixer of choice is a good small-batch cream soda.
