My local HEB in Texas stocks imported Coke from Mexico. It really does taste better. I don't know why, I will not pretent to know if it is healthier. But, when I'm at the grocery and I see someone about to buy Coke, I point them at the import Coke. Yep, I'm a Coke sniper :) I can't tell you it tastes fresh and spicy and have you beleive me on my word. You must try. It costs more, but it tastes better. I'd rather pay extra for something I enjoy than anything for something sub-par. I have extra seats on the bandwagon :) Aside: Poster from Canada, skip the Coke, just send REAL maple syrup. Canada seems to be the only place selling something other than that chemical crud on almost every shelf.

A touch of Spectrum organic mayo just to bind the eggs together, chives, a squeeze of lemon juice, salt and pepper. Occasionally I'll add in a handful of diced celery for crunch.

I poach chicken and fish in it, it also works well as a marinade for cheaper cuts of beef and pork...it tenderizes them like crazy. For the cheaper dill pickle juices, the ones with a lot of yellow color to them, I mix the juice 50/50 with water to use it or it yellows the meat. It's been a staple for my cooking for several years now.I wish they sold it without the pickles in it. BTW, it's also great for steaming veggies...

"Canadian Coke is also made with sugar."

Not really. It may or may not be made with cane sugar. The ingredients list says "sugar/glucose-fructose". That means it could be made with either. Glucose/fructose is the Canadian designation for HFCS. I'm pretty sure it depends on where your Coke is bottled and the availability/price of either sweetener. Most if not all of the sugar sold in Quebec is made from Cuban sugar cane (I can see the factory from my house), but I wouldn't put my hand to the fire saying that Coke bottled here contains only cane sugar.

One other note, if you want to eliminate HFCS for health reasons, you should know that liquid invert sugar like they use in Jones Soda is chemically the same as HFCS.

I agree -- the bacon should be molded and cooked, then it could be eaten. I'm thinking kind of like that basket weave bacon thingy I saw not too long ago...

forget objectifying women...this is just dumb - the bacon is raw!
I'd be happy to wear a fully cooked bacon bra. Now that would fulfill a few fantasies.

I'm not sure if you're referring to Inka Kola, but if so, you will probably not want to replace your regular coke with it, as it has the flavor of bubble gum rather than what we think of as cola.

I like some dijon mustard, just a touch of mayo and some finely grated onion - onion juice is awesome.

I drink it. We used to have a tradition in my singing group (think singing frat) where any used drink containers were thrown gently into the middle of the room (with the couches all around the perimeter). Nothing ever breaks in that rehearsal room. Usually, it was beer bottles and coke cans. One day, I threw in a pickle jar after I was done sipping. Got a lot of weird looks, but it was darn tasty.

I don't know how it started, but my mother used to pour enough pickle juice to fill the jar lid and then drizzle it over very well done scramble eggs. I used to love it. I still can only eat my eggs scrambled BURNT/DEAD, and I still have a love for sour pickle juice on my eggs or right out of the jar :)

Michael-

You are completely heteronormative, as is the rest of this post. I am disgusted still, 4 months later.
