Yesterday we did the Mexican place. They had black radishes. I had
to look them up when I got home. Doesn't look like something I want
to try but it's still fun to look and learn. I got 5 pounds of
broccoli crowns for $.49 a pound. About 25% of what we see them at
the big stores.

Me too. I grew up using Hellman's/Best Foods, and Miracle Whip has
NEVER tasted right to me. Whatever mayo should be, it definitely
shouldn't taste sweet.

This morning, I clipped the coupons from last Sunday's paper. The Miracle
Whip ad contained the usual human subjects: Children and a package of
bologna. It always has children. That's not random. The stuff is sweet
because it's meant for children, and parents too lazy to take 18 seconds to
tell their kids that one food's better for them than another.

I was visiting relatives in Montana the first time I, unwittingly, ate
Miracle Whip. My cousin prepared a sandwich for me, well for all of
us (this was a kind of "wagon train" adventure my cousin cooked up).
I bit into it --- BLECH! What'd you do, put sugar and salt in this?
Yuck.
