Yummy.

It's how beer was flavoured back in northern parts of Blighty a century
or 2 ago. In my 20 years of drinking all manner of beers and brewing
them as well, it's the first time I've had beer flavoured with treacle.

It carries a hint of bitterness to remind you to respect it. Oddly
enuf, a century ago it was used to cheapen porters and ales now it's a
premium brew.

Sometimes certain cheap foods will develop a large enough following that people will forget that they were once bottom shelf items.

Sounds to me though....if some cheap food developes a large following,
maybe it shouldn't have been a 'bottom shelf item' in the first
place. :-O

Lobster.

If you were a kid and took a lobster sandwich to school in Canada about
100 years ago were you sure to be beaten up. It was food for slaves and
orphans.

In fact lobster made great fertilizer for potatoes considering how cheap
it was.

Good example. I've read that prisoners in New England used to be
served lobster often until they complained about food abuse and got
that stopped. Those fools@! heheh

Good example, Bryan. Chicken wings used to be very cheap until
buffalo wings became popular. Many years ago, I got the urge to make
them but unfortunately it was a Super Bowl weekend when they were
popular and thus, overpriced. $4.99 a pound

Screw that! So that time, I bought a whole fryer for only $0.99 per
pound. I cut it all up into small pieces and tried "Buffalo Whole
Chicken." Good idea. That's all I make ever since then. And I'm oven
cooking 4 thighs right now to make that. It's a repeat of my NY day
meal just to use up the chunky blue cheese dressing.

Buy a bag of chicken leg quarters. Cut 'em up and make Buffalo
Drumsticks, boneless chicken thighs, and soup. If just the drumsticks
isn't enough, you can "buffalo" some of the thighs or pieces of thigh.

That irritated the Hell out of me when I was going to buy them for NYE. Over
4 dollars a pound and a lot of the weight with wings is bones. Ridiculous.

I once visited Schaefer brewery in New York and the manager showing us
around was quite emphatic that Pabst had never *won* a blue ribbon.

If cost were no concern, I'd never eat any other part of a chicken other
than the wings, and very occasionally, a few drumsticks.
