What do I do with mustard greens!?
easy - saute olive oil and fresh garlic, add the greens and wilt for 5-8 minutes. Add some pine nuts and golden raisins at the end for an extra special treat.

the only one I'm with you on is tato skins. Anyone remember Boppers though? They were cigar-like with a sweet PB filling and a chocolate and nut coating. Now those were awesome!

Are You a Fennel-Phobe?
I am beyond addicted to fresh, delicious raw fennel. I think it all staretd with cravings for celery - which I was never a huge fan of before. For a few months I couldn't get enough af fresh celery every day. Then one day I picked up some fennel instead, and now that's all I want. I now go through 2-3 bulbs a week, and I stalk the poor produce people at the supermarket. I seriously know what day they restock fennel on, and I get seriously perturbed if their is none or it is in bad shape when I visit. I really hope it doesn't go out of season b/c I don't know what I will do. I have heard that there is some compound in fennel that can give a euphoric effect, but not sure ifthere is any truth to that? I do really feel addicted.
BTW, Hubby won't even try it, not that he has a specific aversion to it. More for me! I just love the fresh juicy taste.

Does anyone remember the little potato chips that came in a box? They looked like little uninflated balloons. They were really crispy, and it seems like there was a hot air balloon on the box. They were always near the Bugles. They kind of tasted like Munchos. I have been thinking about these for years.

Had to join up just to add this comment: I totally miss Fizzies, the fruity tablets that you dropped in cold water to make instant carbonated beverages. The chemists couldn't get it to work or taste quite the same after cyclamates were banned in 1969. Although is supposedly reformulated good as new in 2006. http://www.oldtimecandy.com/fizzies.htm

Sunshine Hydroxy Cookies! They were much better than Oreos for me. Well, OK ... maybe my palate has changed, and but now I will never know. I would still love to get my hands on some of those cookies. I haven't been able to find them in eons. Probably too many dreaded trans-fats. Such a bummer ...

I must admit that i remeber almost all of these foods, but honestly don't miss any of them! Charlie Chips in the can delivered to your front door was THE BEST. Thye may be available some places, but they are definitely not the same chip. they are not any good anymore. That is my reminiscence.
What do I do with mustard greens!?
We love mustard greens, chop it up & if possible add some spinach & some baby squash , cut up in to cubes. Take some olive oil, in a pan & turn the heat on medium high. add 1 tea spoon mustard seeds ,two cloves of garlic & hot green pepper, saute them. Add mustard green, spinach, & squash, add salt to taste. Cover the pan with a lid, don't overcook.

The elimination of MacDonald's fried apple pies can be added to the list of insane "politically correct" changes in the fast food industry over the last 20 years. Gone, is the great taste of their french fries, hamburgers, KFC's chicken, etc.
As far as soda, such as Coke and Pepsi, corporate greed has eliminated their once-great tastes because the corn syrup they now use in the product is cheaper than the pure sugar cane that was formally used.
As far as nostalgic foods, back in the 70's I used to love the little mini-pizzas that were fully encased in pizza crust that you pop into the toaster.....Delicious!! Forgot who put them out.

Im from England and we didnt get most of those things here. We do have microwave chips in the little grids like you were saying and theyre everywhere but one thing i miss, which i know u guys still ave but have been banned over here, are Luck Charms cereal. They were AMAZING! I can buy them in Selfridges (a really really posh department store) but theyre imports and its £7 a box!!! thats about $15!!! needless to say I cant afford that!

I'll bet the fried apple pies were discontinued for legal reasons. If you took a bite of one of those things right out of the fry-o-lator second degree burns were a real possibility. The outside would be cool enough to touch but the filling was molten high fructose corn syrup.
