From what I hear, it don't taste (too) bad. Hopefully, I can get the
courage up and actually taste it before I die.

Live long and don't hanker after stuff you think looks like ... ! The look
of a food is important to me

They ran it up the flagpole and nobody saluted, but you never know -
it could have been a hit. I ordered McDonald's $2 jalapeno burger and
other that too much of the white stuff (whatever it was supposed to
be), it was pretty good and I liked the crunch, whatever that stuff
was. Disclaimer: Reality is nothing like the picture.

It tastes like the back of your throat after you have puked your guts out.
And it smells like it, too.

These days I do things that are outside my comfort level. It is my
belief that you're gonna learn more by doing so. Oddly enough, this
actually works. I should have thought of this years ago. :-)

I have had this sandwich. I love spicy and jalapenos can only improve a
sandwich. Jack-in-the-Box has a burger with sliced jalapenos and deep
fried jalapenos stuffed with cream cheese. Now that's what I call a
great idea. The Mcdonald's burger, while still pretty good, pales in
comparison. You can bet that I'm getting it while the gettin' good!

It isn't the worst thing that the Japanese came up with. You probably don't
want to know any more than that.

Ok I am rather the opposite. I don't want anything I don't fancy and am
more picky than I used to be. I do experiment a lot, but only within the
parameters of things I know I will like.

I joined a civic club that had been trying to get me to join for a
decade and got to do stuff like drive a truck in a parade and build
school benches.

I agreed to help out a business competitor and learned a lot about
efficient business practices and honed my skills at connecting with
people. I used to think of these guys as the company with the most vile
practices in the state but you will learn a lot by getting closer to the
enemy. For one thing, you might find out that they're not really the
enemy. :-)

Believe it or not, I've never had a "popper". I read recipes and
decided I didn't want to make them because I didn't want to eat a
jalapeno stuffed with cream cheese, same applies to the JB burger.
I'm fine with the McD burger because I liked the crunch of the
jalapeno pickles and their little burst of heat (can't go an hotter
than that and keep your wussy customer base happy). I didn't know
what the gloppy white stuff was, maybe it was some sort of cream
cheese sauce - whatever it was should go away, because it didn't add
anything to the mix.

That white stuff might be the McDonald's white cheddar goop. White
cheese-like substance must be in fashion these days.

The white stuff in cheese poppers is material of unknown origin. I'd
rather have some cheese or even Velveeta in there but I don't make those
decisions. No matter, I think I'll have another the first chance I get.

If that was white cheddar, it was very, very odd because I order their
one from their $1 menu with grilled onions and white cheddar and the
cheese is nothing like that. The white stuff on my burger was more
like crema (without the flavor) than their white cheddar. In any
case, it was at the top of the burger and cheese is at the bottom
This web site leads me to think it's a "cream cheese sauce", because
it didn't taste mayonnaise.
http://www.theimpulsivebuy.com/wordp...arter-pounder/
Like I said before, it needs to go away because it doesn't add
anything to the mix. It was probably whatever the white stuff here
is, but in a much larger amount - at least 5 times more.

After all that whining, I will order it again anyway... maybe even
this week (but at a different location).

Jalapeno poppers are very tasty! I was pleasanty surprised. I wouldn't
make them at home because I hate deep frying but I've had them as
appetizers in restaurants on occasion. They're quite tasty. BTW, the
jalapeno poppers I've eaten aren't at all spicy. If you're looking for
the bite of peppers, poppers won't do it for you.

Maybe, but astute businessmen subscribe to "keep your friends close,
but keep your enemies closer" and I think you're being astute.

We had a house guest last week who is quite a foodie. He remarked on how
people have become accustomed to spicy foods. He talked about how they
had first experimented with hot peppers back in the late 60s and early
70s and people were reacting to Jalapenos as if they were pure fire, but
now find Jalapenos to be very mild.

I didn't realize they were bland too. Deep fried and bland.
Oh, goody.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I'm not missing a thing.

That white stuff has been described as ranch sauce and aioli. My guess
is that it's supposed to counteract the acidity of the pickled jalapenos
- will do some more research on this question. I like these new cheap
sandwiches at McDonalds. :-)

Probably not. I did come up with the idea of maybe adding crab meat to
the cream cheese mixture to make poppers. But then, I don't like
deep-frying so that's not likely I'll try to make them. BTW, I don't
think the cream cheese filling is just plain cream cheese, it probably
has some seasonings.

It's the most well-disciplined office I've ever been in. Everybody and
everything in the office has their function and place. Everybody's
mental state has to be as one and it requires personalities that are
able to function together. If it doesn't - you're out. This is a
hard-assed, serious office. We've all heard of the paperless office for
decades - this is the first one that I've ever seen and it works just
great. It has been quite an experience.

Depends on where you get them and what they are offering. When I
first tasted one from Safeway, it was quite good. Fairly spicy 'peno
stuffed with pretty good cheddar. Yum! Later, they introduced some
kinda white crud stuffing and it went downhill from there.

I've only ever had poppers in restaurants, as an appetizer. The only
filling was cream cheese, although I'm sure someone in the kitchen added
something more to it. Herbs, maybe garlic. Before the batter and
deep-fry treatment. They weren't bland. I wouldn't buy frozen ones
from a grocery store.

We have grilled hot poppers. We stuff the pepper with mozzarella cheese,
wrap it in bacon, and then grill until the bacon is done.

That sounds good, Tara. My poppers are either grilled or baked, and I
like to stuff them with oaxaca and cream cheese, 50/50, adding a little
Mexican oregano, salt & pepper. I have also used monterrey jack and
mozarella. I also wrap mine with bacon. It is a good, low carb appetizer
that offers a little protein.

Oregano sounds like a tasty addition.
