If I turned you around 3 times with your eyes closed, and then told
you to reach for a package on the shelf (which is 8-10 feet long at my
store), the odds are they will be made with egg. Non-egg noodles are
unusual and what you'd have to look for, not egg.

No, SF. They're not unusual at all. But then you didn't know what a Boca
Burger was so I have to assume that you only buy certain specific things and
don't ever look for anything else.

My cupboard has a lot of pasta in it. None of it contains egg. I can't eat
eggs. Granted the closest thing in shape to an egg noodle would be
Fettuncine. I think you do need the egg in there to get that shape. And in
your typical grocery store, you're unlikely to find any more than just a few
pasta shapes in the no egg category, gluten free or otherwise. Mine is
whole wheat. I do have some nice shapes imported from Italy and it's very
good. Can get online, perhaps at a store that sells Italian foods or some
of the "better" markets here like PCC, Central Market or Whole Foods. We
don't eat that stuff often and mainly only when I find a good sale. Mostly
we eat the Hodgson's Mills. Some people take issue with the texture but we
like it just fine.

There ARE eggless noodles. Oh, let us not engage in
a semantic snit about the definition of 'noodle'.

You're being redundant. Read what I said to Julie.

Agree. It was a valid question. Some people call macaroni "noodles".
And her response "can you buy any other kind" was snippy. Good grief.

Some people call all noodles, pasta. Some call all pasta noodles. My
husband's one grandma called all pasta macaroni. I made lasagna, she called
it macaroni. She was Italian.

If I were to make something like this I'd probably use medium (not
really wide) egg noodles.

Try different egg noodles. I made a similar dish for my mom and the
meat/gravy turned out great, but the noodles, which were Kroger house brand,
really sucked.

It's cheese that is yellow in color - maybe cheddar, maybe colby, maybe
Velveeta.

Thank you. It's not *that* had to figure out.

No, it's not hard to figure out. But Parmesan and those yellow cheeses
taste very different!

It's a whatever you have that is yellow will do here. Use what your
family likes. This is a recipe for cooks. A recipe like this is
flexible. By indicating yellow, the writer eliminated stuff like
brick, muenster, parmesan, gouda. They wouldn't have been appropriate
flavorwise.

No, the recipe specified Parmesan then said you may substitute yellow
cheese. They're vastly different in taste, IMHO.

I haven't seen "barbecue sauce" in a can, either. 7 oz. is a mighty
small can.

Maybe there was such a thing in the 60s. I have a recipe that calls
for a 7oz. Bottle of 7-Up....haven't seen one of those for a few
decades, either. ;-)

I remember the small bottles of coke but I don't remember any other soft
drinks in small bottles.... or cans.

I have seen plenty of pictures of the small 7 Up bottles but that was
something we rarely had in the house. Mainly only when we were sick. My
dad used to work for RC, so we drank that in Wichita. Then when we moved
here, we drank Shasta. Then when they came out with Tab, I switched to
that. Those bottles were very tall.

You can get the little skinny cans now. I had quite a lot of those because
some store was giving them out for free when you bought so many of some
other Coke product. I find them to be kind of annoying. Just not quite
enough in there for me.

Gone with the 6oz or was that 8oz bottles of Coke. Mom loved those.

In my closet, I have 3 OLD bottles of Coke never opened. Two of them are
dated 1976. That was their 75th anniversary edition. The other one is older
but no date anywhere on the bottle. Compared to the other two, I'd guess
it's an 8oz bottle.

I don't think these old bottles have any "antique/collector" value, or very
little. Someday, I'll open one up and see if the flavor and fizz held up
over the years. Or maybe I'll drink a bottle and feel the need to call 911
after 15 minutes.

My bet is that there will be no fizz. I had some cans of something or
other and they were only about 7 years old in one of those 12 pack
cartons. I never liked the soda so they sat downstairs and by the time
I remembered they were there, some of them had exploded the cans enough
to leak out inside the cardboard carton.

I have one that calls for a 29 cent bag of Doritos.

There were a lot of odd foods available in the 60's. I read somewhere that
they actually had more variety of a lot of different foods than we do now.
I don't think that holds true for things like chips or frozen foods. And
certainly not diet drinks. But I do think there were more packaged cookies
and crackers.

We never had any BBQ sauce in our house because my parents didn't like it.
I only bought some fairly recently because I could get it cheap with a
coupon. But husband and daughter don't usually like it much either. Oddly
enough, daughter likes that Llyods meat stuff and I'm pretty sure that is in
BBQ sauce. She went all wild when she saw something on TV about pulled
pork. I was like... Okay. You like it. You can have it. I just got out
of the habit of buying it because husband won't eat it.
