The cream gravy with pork patty crumbles should be served on American style biscuits. Savory biscuits, not what the English or Australians would call biscuits. It could also be served over toasted white bread or chicken fried steak. Leave it to an accurate description of factory gravy to make it sou...

I've only ever tasted US ones, but I've got to hand second place to the Russian ones. Too bad they aren't on the list. I base this on their appealing EPa-like appearance with the lids on and appalling Mighty-Dog-like appearance with the lids off. And what's everyone's deal with the old "don't eat th...

Great review, Big Galloot! I like the cat tests, personally. I have a few cats myself and I'm always happy to point out to Mrs. Kman that there was a ration product the cats wouldn't eat but that tasted fine to me. :-) The cat test is a good test. Dogs will eat most anything, especially if they see...

That Hershey bar at least is probably very valuable. Those were produced all the way back to WWII. I've been told that it wasn't very good when brand-new, so I'm sure it's awful now. It was hard and crumbly, and didn't melt in your mouth or even feel or taste much like chocolate. The same factors th...

Too much Butter Buds

Just the forum, actually. I have the crash window on the screen as I type this. It doesn't close the program until you send or don't send the error report. Some days it doesn't happen, other times it happens almost immediately when I visit the forums. I visit plenty of other forums online, and none ...

German Canned Cheeseburger

Here's a link to a page with the German canned cheeseburger. Wasn't sure quite where to put this, but I'm sure that a few people here are interested. http://www.avclub.com/content/feature/t ... urger_in_a
