Not that I miss it; I make just about everything I eat from scratch, seeing as how they insist on dumping all kinds of garbage in pre-made stuff like that. They always make that stuff too salty and too sweet, and the garbage they add to make it that way will kill you. So I buy fresh clams and 'taters and onions and all and get to work. It's tastier that way, too.<br /><br />BTW, do you put chopped fresh cilantro in your killer chicken soup? Try it, you'll love it!Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01648670975466222140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-42600247292924647212010-02-03T09:01:04.656-05:002010-02-03T09:01:04.656-05:00@California Girl: Extreme?

Then it disappeared from local convenience store and supermarket shelves. I used to travel over the state line into Connecticut, to a variety store that had some, like some people do to buy liquor or tax-free cigarettes. Once I'd bought out that store's supply, I had to go cold turkey. I went online to the SoBe site, and found that they still made it. I emailed them for the closest locations that carried it, and they obliged. Sadly, I have yet to get any, because the closest place that has it is 45 miles away! Maybe someday, I'll schedule a day trip so I can go and buy 47 cases or so... but probably not.The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-76750419250953752532010-02-03T08:52:50.981-05:002010-02-03T08:52:50.981-05:00you know they have to pay for "slotting"...you know they have to pay for "slotting" in supermarkets. Snow's may not be bellying up to that paarticular bar. The grocery business is a sleazy one. Alot of payments for end aisle displays, promotion, etc. Best thing to do is fill out a customer card and ask to be contacted re: this. Sound extreme? I did it over a salad drsg I adored. Both stores responded.California Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12582691517303132274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188724087075739853.post-26661494947190823842010-02-03T08:47:41.371-05:002010-02-03T08:47:41.371-05:00@Willow: I used to like the Humpback Whale Chowder...@Willow: I used to like the Humpback Whale Chowder, but it was discontinued. Seems enough of them weren't turning up on the beaches...<br /><br />@Betsy: Personally, I always order the Boneless Buffalo Wings, which is why the Foxster insured that they ended up on the Kewl Beanz! menu, along with Buffalo Chicken Omelette and the Alaskan Pollock Sandwich, which is actually a superior version of McDonald's Filet-O-Fish! But I digress.<br /><br />"The god's Honest Soup" varies slightly in each incarnation, as there's no official recipe. Instead, it's kind of a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants chicken soup, with enough additives to help you lose weight, grow hair, and balance your checkbook. In years gone by, I've made huge batches, frozen most of the results, and given pints or quarts to friends who were ill.<br /><br />Skip: Hey, I said don't get political!
