Fifty Foods To Try

We once had blood pudding in Manchester, England. Eh, not so good. We also grew up being fed banana and mayonnaise sandwiches from the old ladies in Chestnut Mountain. You'd be suprised.

NPR's fifty foods to eat before you die.

We were going to post a picture, but unfortunately it also included peanut butter under the hood. Praise be to serendipity! The blogger who owns the pic just happens to demonstrate that "a woman from Mississippi [can] meet and marry a German quadriplegic, move there without first knowing the language, leave behind all she's known and loved and be forced to live without Hellmann's mayonnaise, stores open on Sundays, southern accents, magnolias, and her beloved family and friends nearby." Dixie Peach, surprisingly not about Georgia.

  2. Hey - I gotta use peanut butter on my mayonnaise and banana sandwiches...makes my ration of Hellmann's go farther. I can be rather stingy with it. If you only knew what I had to do to get Hellmann's here!

  3. I used to drive by the Blue Plate mayonnaise building all the time when I lived in New Orleans. I'll have to do a little reading up on the scarcity of mayo in Germany.

    P.S. My family has a chicken farm, so I've seen the eggs that mayonnaise comes from. Not pretty.
