What did you have for dinner? -Part dois

[Lursa]

My sister and I would get a jar of Claussen's and it was empty by the time we got home.

Claussens are excellent, very much so!

The only way I can eat mayo is as tartar sauce, or maybe blue cheese dressing on a salad,.

I love mustard, Ketchup is for burgers and fries/tots.

Extra pickles on a burger please.

OK this is probably weird but I dont like ketchup on any potatoes EXCEPT fries. Definitely not on tots, hash browns, etc. Waffle fries yes.

I dont like it in a lot of things either. I'm not into tartar sauce for that reason I think...but I think it looks kinda gross

OTOH I love pepperoncini on lots of the same stuff...which are the pickled peppers.

Not a pickled peppers fan but we like what we like and I'm good with that. Enjoy.

We only eat tuna within 72 hours of it swimming

(Seriously, I give away so much tuna to people, it’s sort of ridiculous. But we just don’t like the taste of tuna if it’s isn’t super fresh.)

There is a whole 'nother level of tuna that many Americans arent aware of. (I was one of them) Yes fresh, but also canned.

The Spanish have it nailed. So many good Spanish recipes call for tuna but often canned or jarred tuna...they just have a better quality available. I always say I should check Whole Foods on the rare occasions I get to one.

For me tater tots need ketchup. I like either malt vinegar or ketchup on fries equally but I prefer vinegar on hash browns and waffle fries.

I'm weird and I know it.

I'll admit it. I love Arby's roast beef and curly fries. I load both up with Arby sauce. The sauce just goes so well on the fries.

Holy shit! Me too! I LOVE that sauce, I have a bottle in the fridge.

I always find thing at Aldi's I didn't think I like there.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. They do look excellent! I still declare the classic kosher garlic dill straight from a Jewish deli best but this one is a close 2nd:

Yes, they are a bit hot. Not so much for me but probably for many people.

Packos pickles and peppers have Hungarian yellow peppers with the garlicky dill pickles. I first had them in the mid 1970s when my older sister was going to BGSU and took us to Tony Packos in Sylvania for lunch once. I stop at Packos every time I'm on the Ohio turnpike or going to Michigan because the main location on Front Street is close to I-75N.

Like Virginia Diner's peanuts.

Like Virginia Diner's peanuts.

I had to look up what Diner peanuts are because at first I thought they were the wet boiled peanuts that I bought once in Virginia at a gas station on my way to my sisters in Asheville. Those things are disgusting but I had to try them once.

I like Goo-Goo clusters but this Yankee will pass on the boiled peanuts, even with an RC Cola. Moon pies are too sweet and sticky for me.
