Re: Food for thought - Long Term

[Guest guest]

Funny story made short. I'm an Alaska girl -- raised on " Best Foods " mayo,

in my book, the ONLY kind there is.

Husband is from Oklahoma. Go to meet his folks, first visit, 15 years ago.

They are a Miracle Whip family there. OH MY GOD!!! Like, looking into the

fridge and seeing that, I immediately go into withdrawals, sweats, heart

palpatations, etc. Husband takes me to store. No Best Foods. I'm freaking

out. Frantically searching the shelves of every store for Best Foods.

Nothing. He happens to live next to a large military base *Altus AFB* and a

kind-hearted " northerner " military person identifies my dilema. Hands me

Hellmans, and SWEARS it's Best Foods. Got my fix and was fine. Yup -

military comes through everytime, even in times of peace!!!

It's amazing how foods/brands change from region to region. >>

Yes, yes, yes. And anyone I've ever met who (outside of my family) even ate

artichokes thought I was wierd. In my opinion, the ONLY thing that goes with

artichokes is MAYO. (Actually, in my world, the artichokes just ACCOMPANY

the mayo!!) I never even heard of anything else going with them until late

adulthood! Hey, getting to 314 came pretty dang easily living with mayo (and

artichokes, that is)!

Helman's is the equivalent of Best Foods on the Left coast...just a FYI in

case you didn't know. Yeah...it IS the best! I love it with

artichokes...sometimes I use butter, but love my mayo.

You, darling are statuesque. In my dreams. My legs end where most

Oh boy, do I agree! And I'm so thankfuk for it, too, because Dunkin

Donuts are a dime a dozen out here, and that's the only thing that

keeps me out of their stores. But, pass up a Starbuck's? Not gonna

happen.

BTW, is Seattle's Best another coffee company? If so, they're not in

my neck of the woods yet.
