You get one not very long commercial per video. Pick the one I told
you to pick and you only need to sit though one commercial.

I only saw a black screen. So then I got me an American IP address and
got a story saying that apple pie is so American. I understand why
this is geoblocked for non Americans. Only Americans believe this

I thought you understood simple English, but it's obvious you don't.

Ah, I see. The video explained how that saying came about, but you're
committed to remaining ignorant. Carry on.

You can't count on that show as a historical source anyhow. I saw an
episode a few nights ago where they mentioned the old myth that the Reuben
sandwhich was invented in New York city. It's well documented that it was
actually invented in Omaha, Nebraska. So you have to take everything they
say "with a grain of salt"...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reuben_sandwich:
"One account holds that Reuben Kulakofsky, a Jewish Lithuanian-born
grocer residing in Omaha, Nebraska, was the inventor"

"Another account holds that the Reuben's creator was Arnold Reuben,
the German-Jewish owner of the famed Reuben's Delicatessen in New York
City. According to an interview with Craig Claiborne, Arnold Reuben
invented the "Reuben Special" around 1914. The earliest references in
print to the sandwich are New York–based"

Anyway, it's 2 pieces of bread with stuff in between. Big deal.

I still remember Thanksgiving and Christmas Feasts at my Grandmother's
dining room. Always included was a large Apple Cobbler with bubbling
hot butter pooling on top.

And the story Arnold Reuben in New York is the inventor has been disproven
by dates on menus from both the NYC deli and the hotel restaurant in Omaha.

Big deal? No. But I for one, do like my history to be accurate.

Those programs look to be geared towards 14 year olds. No sir, I don't care for them at all.

Speaking of apple pie....there is a video making the FB rounds, of using split,
tube cinnamon rolls rolled flat as the bottom and top crusts for an apple pie. It
looks delicious. Though the regular "bazooka (tube) biscuits" have an off-taste
for me, the cinnamon rolls are quite tasty.

Best in the universe apple pie for me is using red delicious apples
and using the old betty crocker cookbood recipe. Make your own crust
too. If you buy premade crust of any variety, you blew it.

I one time (only) used granny smith apples for a pie.
WAY big mistake. Those apples are grown to be nasty.
Immature good apples are sour but the ripe sour gs apples
are a fail. Even pigs won't eat them.

Like I said before, we might not have invented it, but we definitely

Yeah right. You probably turned it into a supermarket science project,
with a long list of ingredients that are banned in the rest of the
western world.

Most lists of best apple varieties for cooking and use in pies do not
even include red delicious. IMO, Delicious is a misnomer. I don't think
they are as good for eating as others. They are not tart enough and do
not maintain their texture well enough to be used in cooking. Cider made
with Delicious apples is way too sweet.

Red Delicious apples usta be the joy of the sprmkt produce section.
Ppl usta eat 'em by the truck-load.

I spent my senior year in high school in Eastern Washington state,
Moses Lake, to be exact. Moses Lake HS had a dime vending machine
that dispensed chilled red delicious apples. First thing I learned
is, gotta bend over to eat one, as they were so sweet and juicy, the
juice from the very first bite would run down yer shirt/blouse and
completely soak it. Plus, these juice loaded delicious apples were
the size of a soft ball. No exaggeration!

Later, when good red delicious apples became all the rage (cuz they
usta be that good!), BigAg got in the act and completely ruined the
entire industry, which usta be centered around Wenatchee, WA. Now,
red delicious apples are crap. Small, dry, pithy, ugh! I haven't
bought one in years. 8|

Just like grapes and wine, there are varieties for eating and varieties
for making good (hard) cyder.

It was not that long ago that apples had two primary uses. They were
dried and used as a sweetener in baking, or they were used to make hard
cider. There are now a lot more varieties of apple and each has roles
that they fill.... eating, baking, cooking. Cider is usually made with
windfall apples..... those that fall off the tree. Those tend to be
bruised and can't be sold for most other purposes, so they press them
into cider.

Actually, I find some of them, like 'Food: Fact or Fiction", to be amusing
enough to watch, even though I can't drink their Kool-Aid. They're
certainly better than most 'reality' TV. And I'm much older than 14, at
least chronologically.

Writing for 14 year old mind is what I was taught in college. I don't
mind writing this kind of stuff, I just don't like having to watch it.

Your writing has a long way to go before it reaches the fourteen year
old level... there's no way you're college educated.

Those tube biscuits do have a pretty unique off-flavor. Beats me what that's about. The products would be greatly improved if that could be removed. My daughter made a roll thing with cheese inside. I was puzzled as to how she made it since our oven is not working. She wrapped up cheese with tube crescent dough and baked it in the toaster oven. I really enjoyed it!

She made some crab rangoon appetizers the other day. She has to learn new tricks since our oven died. I taught her how to mix up some Chinese mustard and the correct temperature to deep fry the appetizers. She's a very good student. She made them using fake crab. These were pretty tasty.
