Question of the Day: Dinosaur Food
Food trends come and go , just like fashion. Therefore, many foods we love go to the path of extinction, like the dinosaurs. What foods would you bring back , if you had the opportunity?

Turkey roll, from the 1970s. Great for roasting, then slicing into thick slabs for sandwiches.

Chicken ala king on toast points! So Donna Reed and June Cleaver.

Ice cream that has "departed to Ben & Jerry's graveyard"---like Totally Nuts & Chocolate Peanut Butter Truffle

Happy-nick (sp?) cookies. They were the genesis of all those have a nice day smiley face yellow cookie jars, everyone seems to have forgotten the cookies though. Mmmmm...simple vanilla and chocolate cookies, nice and dense and yummy.

New York Seltzer-loved the stuff as a kid, but haven't been able to find the stuff in years!

I remember Zero candy bars! had a photo of a polar bear on the wrapper. Add to the candy list Bit-O-Honey, Clark bar, candy necklaces and the white nougat bar with peanuts -- can't remember its name. As kids, we would stock up on "penny candy" on Sunday afternoons for the matinee at the local theater -- still the only one in my hometown of 10,000. Food memories are so marvelous!

Ah! Someone else remembers Magic Middles! I bring them up in wistful conversation at least every other month. The crispy cookie outsides, the smooth, thick chocolate insides - sometimes I feel like they might be my madeleines! (Admittedly less refined, but still tasty.)

For those looking for seemingly unavailable candy bars, check Hometown Favorites. For example, they do carry the Zero Bar, available via the alphabetical listing:

Jello Pudding and Jello Gelatin Pops.
I know that they recently put the pudding pops back on the market, but they are not the same and that makes me extremely upset!

All those retro foods that are trendy somewhere---but not in a restaurant near me! I love waldorf salad, a wedge of iceberg lettuce with thousand island dressing, meatloaf, tuna casserole made from scratch, my mother's molded orange-jello-shredded-beet salad. That 50's food had a certain charm...

Almost every old candy bar or candy can be found at Economy Candy, on the LES, in NYC (on Rivington, I think).

Chicken roll. Probably made from who knows what, but I miss it. By the way, for old candy, that new soda fountain candy store on Chambers St. has tons of old candy, and they make a mean egg cream.

Mcdonald's french fries, and apple pies, deep fried in beef tallow.

Brown edge cookies. I used to love those. Cannot even find a recipe. I think Nabisco made them.
