I saw bacon salt at the Puyallup and wasnt too impressed. Sure if you are trying to give a Vegan/Kosher/Vegetarian/Halal person the flavor of bacony goodness it works. Otherwise I'd rather just use bacon. Why emulate the flavor of something when you can use the real thing?

I live in Ohio and I'd love to swap stadium mustard for Adam's PB. I don't know what 50/50 is but if I can get it I will. :)

I work in Kent, OH. It is interesting to read about Adams PB. I'm not a fan of Trader Joe's PB - is it like this? I eat a lot of Peanutbutter and still have not got through a small jar of Trader Joe's without it developing a bit of a taste to it.
I go to the Smucker's mega gift store in Orrville, OH every fall so I will look for Adams.
Stadium mustard - Yum - only way to eat a hotdog is with Stadium mustard on it.

My 5 year old son needs to work on his fine motor skills, so I was going to by O shaped pasta for making 0 necklaces and pasta wreaths. Now I have something to eat with the left overs. Yum

Cleveland girl here. I haven't thought about 50/50 in forever. :) And stadium mustard ... well, it's so good that we brought it to France with us to offer as a gift to some friends of ours. Adam's PB, you say? Hmm.

Ohio transplant here- northwest side now, but I went to grad school at Kent. I know stadium mustard, but what's 50/50?
Is this a dumb question? Just curious...

I am more than happy to send along some of Cleveland's specialties :)
Comment by Kristen — September 24, 2007 @ 8:36 am
thanks!! I will have to try them!!

Megan, seriously, thank you for linking to my site/recipe. You're fantastic. And now homemade maraschino cherries are on the list for holiday making, along with pickled baby carrots ala Tartine. NICE. You post fantastic stuff.
Comment by L. — September 24, 2007 @ 9:35 am
I would love to send out some cleveland specialties - let me know and you could be enjoying a nice hot dog (while it's still grilling weather!) and a nice refreshing 50/50.
It's the least I could do for all of the wonderful things I've found through your site!

Thanks for the roasted chickpeas recipe, can't wait to try it. While in the grocery store a sweet old woman asked if I knew where the garbanzo beans were, I showed her to the chickpeas. She said she makes them into a paste and they make her liver spots disappear. The mighty bean!!

I had roasted chickpeas at a NYC restaurant once last year and have been craving them ever since. They're instantly addictive. Thanks for the link to the recipe.

I LOVE Stadium Mustard and completely took it for granted when I lived in Cleveland.
Fortunately, it's now available online:

Nothing says Cleveland more than Stadium Mustard and Malley's Chocolate!

Thanks so much for the link! And I love that "8 Foods You Should Eat Every Day" item, especially since none of them were weird things like algae. :)
Comment by Sarah — September 25, 2007 @ 8:01 pm
Thanks to everybody who offered to swap food! I'll tackle it when I have some free time, but it looks like we'll be traveling to visit home in a few months... I hope 50/50 still exists somewhere!
