======================

 DS> scoop-it-yourself bins slowly disappeared.

Carol B. had a friend Kim who at one time worked in a store
that had bulk Jelly Bellys and told stories of people snacking
by the handful.

   They are still available,
 DS> either web order or in some stores in premixed bags of loads of
 DS> different flavors.  The problem is that some of the flavors are
 DS> decent, some are good, and some are GROSS.  Jalepeno is pretty good,
 DS> but bubble gum is gross.

I thought all of them sort of amusing, including bubble gum.
Buttered popcorn was especially amusing, as it tasted sort of
like vomit.

 DS> (BTW- her favorites was a type of lime that they stopped making and
 DS> licorice).

As I said of the Spicy Baconator, too good for the general public?

McD.L.T.
cat: tastealike
servings: 1

1 TOPPS 1/4 lb frozen beef patty
1 sesame seed bun
1 sl real American cheese
1/4 c chopped iceberg lettuce
1 fresh tomato slice (2 if small)
1 Tb fresh chopped white onion
3 dill pickle slices
McDonald's Hamburger Seasoning
Ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise

Cooking your McD.L.T.
Preheat an electric griddle to 400 degrees, and toast both halves
of the bun face down on the griddle. It should toast quickly and
will have an even light-brown color when done. After toasting, set
the toasted bun aside. On the same grill surface, cook the beef
patty the same way as a Quarter-Pounder.

Dress Your Bun
On the crown half, apply mustard, ketchup, and onions as described
in the Quarter-Pounder recipe. Then add 3 pickle slices, the lettuce,
followed by 1 Tb of mayonnaise. Top that with the tomato, then the
slice of cheese. (This can be done, and should be done 10-15
minutes before the beef is cooked) Place in the refrigerator.
When the beef is done, put it on the heel side of the bun. Then
get the dressed crown side out of the fridge, slap the two together,
and BAM - a no longer available McD.L.T!
