Don't think I would.

I've read reports of missionaries/explorers in various places stating that the locals where they were posted/had travelled claimed to have eaten human flesh, and that it was delicious, but. . . you know, it was so common for many cultures (particulary Western ones) to consider others (particularly non-Western ones) to be completely lacking in either sense of humour or humanity, that the locals who allegedly reported this may have been pulling the missionaries'/explorers' legs, without the latter being aware of this.

My point is that there is no evidence we taste good (although most tastes are acquired), and there would be no way of knowing (without having actually having eaten human) that a synthetic product actually had the flavour and consistency of human (and I cannot imagine eating another human being, but then again, I've never been in the sort of situation where I'd need to make this decision). It also seems like the sort of thing Marilyn Manson would go for in a flash (especially if it were called, say, 'Pam', instead of 'SPAM') and make a big production of, which would make the entire act of eating human-like meat kind of embarrassing ;)

I've never even had a fluffernutter until I moved out of my parents house(they aren't a big fan of junk food) but I decided to try mixing it up and adding some nutella in there and oh my goodness is it delicious. Also throwing some bananas in with the nutella is pretty tasty as well.

Speed of Boston Speed's

That psychic sandwich board is on point. I DO want pizza.

Looks great, been to Boston a few times and never heard of it and yep its now on my list to visit. Thanks for the tip.

Completely thought it was baked beans too -- cannot believe I have never eaten one in Boston before. And *now* I want a hot dog topped with baked beans on a brown bread roll.

Speed's originally used a dog from Pearl. The new owner switched to Grote & Weigel. Both dogs are good; the Pearl being a little spicier. The all beef dogs sold loose behind the counter at Stop & Shop are Pearl's. I have access to them in New Jersey. Grote & Weigel beef dogs are available at their N.J. distributor and at Father & Son Luncheonette in Linden, N.J.

The dog is the same recipe beef dog that you can get at the above mentioned places. It is only custom made in that Speed's is perhaps the only customer using a half pound beef dog from G&W.

In my opinion basting and marinating takes away from the flavor of the dog. Unless you like the flavor of the marinade, or the apple cider and brown sugar. A place in Newburgh, N.Y. marinated some of their Sabrett dogs before grilling. I had one marinated and one plain. I preferred the plain dog with mustard.

While Speed's serves a quality beef dog, I wouldn't consider it the "best". There are other brands of beef dogs that I consider superior to Grote & Weigel or Pearl. Namely Best Provisions (N.J.), Usinger's (Milwaukee), Sabrett (N.Y./N.J.), Boars Head (now made in Florida but a N.Y. dog originally), and the fairly new Hatfield's New York style dog (Pennsylvania).

I made these and was lucky enough to have the consistency come out great! I used a thermometer and went a little over the recommended temp of the Wash. Post but way under the cooking time in the recipe posted here. I may try using some honey next time, as recommended. I thought they tasted 'ok' but not really like real candy corn (which I do have a problem with...I am unable to stop eating them once I start) but everyone else that tasted them really liked them because they didn't taste just like candy corn. In any case, they were so cute I didn't care that they didn't taste just like I expected.

You can't just go by a time for boiling when making candy. Your altitude (and I suppose you attitude so some degree . . .) changes the boiling point. The higher the elevation, the longer it takes to get to the boiling point. We need to know the "ball" stage.

Skippy is better!

What is Jiff? Does that sound like a mistake someone who truly likes Jif would make? ;P

@ Monkey4Sale

sure, make them fancy, but then it becomes a whole other sandwich. It's the same with grilled cheese sandwiches. Once you go past white bread, pre-sliced cheese, and butter, it's no longer a Grilled Cheese. It becomes something else.

In other news, the world is round and water is wet. And, like dnk said, Jif beats Skippy.
