Condiment for corned beef?
I like the Polish mustard (i.e. Kosciuszko), or Russian (some call it Thousand Island) Dressing. I've also used the Chinese mustard in those little take-out packets.
Thanksgiving dinner: What is your LEAST favorite menu item that you can't get rid of?
I think your mother-in-law needs the pearl onion recipe from either ccbweb or lulubelle, and maybe offer to bring the mashed potatoes?

Mom always made them for Dad, every year for Thanksgiving, and I remember how happy they were when I decided I liked 'em too. Never had them with sharp cheddar, but wow does that sound good, must try...

IMHO, if you HAVE to do mashed potatoes on thanksgiving, make 'em with cooked turnip (especially the big rutabagas) mixed in, gives them a whole new taste dimension, especially if who ever made the turkey makes a good gravy too. I never did understand why people would do "that" to oysters, that nasty baked concoction. Oysters aren't meant to be eaten any other way other than off the half-shell or deep-fried and appreciated!!!
(will say a prayer for you on thanksgiving re: that nasty casserole, or that dad's new "ladyfriend" makes something different this year)

LOL @ "grocery store frisbee pies"~~~in defense of the Entenmann's (not sure of sp.) chain of baked goods~~~their pumpkin "frisbee pie"(LOL again) isn't really that bad, if you can't make your own.
~now Mrs. Smith's, I wonder how she got Mr. Smith to marry her, must not have been for her pumpkin pie.
Usually in my own personal experience, most supermarkets had a fairly decent "frisbee pie" as far as pumpkin...but be afraid, very afraid, of what they try to pass off as sweet potato pie, has an odd aftertaste, and is just odd, period.
Kimchi on a hot dog
Anyone here ever go into a Salvadorean restaurant, where they had those huge jars on every table, filled with some sort of red liquid and shredded cabbage??? It's hot and really spicy, a hot radish kind of taste...I have seen it eaten as a garnish on top of those pupusas. Never knew what the stuff was called, could that be a form of Salvadorean Kimchi?
Guilty Pleasure
And I thought I was the only one who did that, love the fact they have rip-open tops now; love it once in a while even if it's macaroni with tomato soup sauce, love it doctored up with some nice oregano, good expensive parmesan, and would love even just the meatballs by themselves, those things are addictive, I always feel like they should have at least a dozen in that can~!
Guilty Pleasure
Bravo, BobB!!! I love that pickled herring in the jar, wine sauce or not, and if I am feeing really wicked, will opt for the one in sour cream, some nice marble swirled rye toast, and it doesn't get any better than that. I also applaud your theory that "nothing really spicy is guilty food", because from what I heard a few weeks back, all that "hot stuff" helps burn away all the badness of the guilty food >wink
Guilty Pleasure
you may be right, but when you look at places like urbandictionary and mixtionary, you learn a whole new way of the language we all grew up on; as for myself, I wonder, what is the difference between "a guilty pleasure" and a "food of shame", are they different, same, or is it a regionalspeak thing?
Guilty Pleasure
I love the ramen w/butter and the seasoning packet, though if you do eat more than one pack, 2 season envelopes can be a bit too much, but you can always use that stuff in all sorts of other goodies...If you want to try something REALLY decadent, make the ramen your way, and put a few slices of the processed american cheese slices while the ramen are still hot (a little ramen, a cheese slice, more ramen, another cheese slice, more ramen...decadently cheesily delicious)
Guilty Pleasure
My grandpa loved his sardines w/ raw onion, and for breakfast!!! (he was a baker so his breakfasts were usually consumed @midnight anyway, so it really didn't seem odd to any of us)
Guilty Pleasure
OH sardines and tabasco sounds great, never found a good "sardines in hotsauce" that actually tasted like it had hotsauce in it, would the sardines be canned and in vinegar or is it something you add later?
& I have to agree w/you on those Archway cookies, especially the oatmeal w/apple in them (have to try the pecan ones).
