I would use a mobile slice. Even though I don't live anywhere near america (being australian and all) but I love being able to look up websites I love on my Sidekick. Please, please, PLEASE go mobile!

What to dip my french fries in...

I'm with wenday. You cannot beat Mickey D's fries dipped into a plain soft serve cone. It is like little bites of heaven. Heart attack inducing heaven, but heaven none the less!

Sourdough Doesn't Always Mean 'Good'

I live in Darwin, Australia, and work in a bakery and I've got to say, sourdough is my favourite type of bread that we make there. Actually it is my favourite type of anything we make there. You know a bread is good when a seventeen year old girl chooses it over a brownie or a cream bun!

Sourdough Doesn't Always Mean 'Good'

i love sourdough... actually I didn't like it when I first tried it, too tangy for my kiddy tastebuds at the time. But, now that my pallate has evolved, the ones I've had recently are not even as tangy as I remember the original being... they just taste like regular white bread.

I don't know how this rates with Bay Area dwellers, but I liked the Boudin sandwiches I had the last time I was in SF.

Hey, what's wrong with cookies in cans!?! :P

I'll probably be in the minority defending Spam (meat in a can), Snack Mate (cheese in a spray can), Reddiwip (whipped cream in a spray can), and...I just realized how much stuff comes out of a can here. lol

@GegeMac: A lot of the cheese sold in our supermarkets are "cheese products;" Velveeta is just one of many. At least in the US, if you see sliced cheese hanging in a plastic bag or stacked like bricks, it's more than likely a cheese product. The real cheese is usually kept in a different refrigerated section, like near the bakery or wine section of the grocery store.

The thing with Velveeta is that you don't have to refrigerate it, and it nukes w/o much effort to a smooth, viscous consistency making it convenient to use for dips and such.

I remember seeing Velveeta for sale back home in Hawaii for $11/pound 15 years ago, so my mom (and I) never bothered with it. I was shocked at how cheap it was on the mainland at $3-4/pound. I have yet to eat Velveeta.

@ Cassaendra. Thanks for the info. Seriously though I don't think we have dough in a can (maybe I'm just not looking hard enough in the supermarket). Also I think I confused myself, because what I know as a biscuit, I think you call a cookie......
Fair call on the vegemite thing - although I'll have to stand my ground and defend to the death one of my country's "cultural icons" ; )
