ML> Edy's Espresso Chip ice cream - . . bitter coffee 
ML> grounds! How the industry has managed to smuggle 
ML> these waste products into food I don't know. 

As amusing as it is to imagine the Edy's factory trucking in
old grounds from Dunky's and *$ to make ice cream, I should
think that they are probably buying beans which are surplus,
subgrade, or of similar quality which they grind especially
to add the texture and flavor of dirt to their product.

It reminds me of the coffee bean "treats" that many roasters sell - 
roasted beans, dipped in chocolate; crunch 'em whole.  Eurrgh.
A perfectly nasty mouthfeel.

ML> Hershey's Extra Dark 60% . . .I'd give it a gentleman's C.

They make this with "blueberries and macadamia nuts" also.  I've
tried it and found somewhat flavorless lumps in the chocolate
but nothing I could identify as either blueberries or macadamia
nuts for certain. I find your grade to be fair and unbiased.

ML> Recently I trashed Lay's sour cream and onion chips. My father
ML> foisted on me another interesting substance - Calavo guacamole

Jim Weller described the taste of grasshoppers as "greasy and
acidic."  That's pretty much how I feel about guacamole.

Is avocado an acquired taste?

ML> Guifaxiang Mahua Food Group "18th St. Mahua" "Guixiang 18th
ML> Street Mahua is a traditional food of Tianjin with a long
ML> history beginning in the 1920's.

I am trying to picture someone in China writing of "a long history
beginning in the 1920's" without laughing.

I was in Big Lots last week and found a jar of Cane Flavored Syrup.
The ingredients were high fructose corn syrup, cane sugar, caramel
coloring.
