@ monopod: I don't see anyone claiming that this is a "classic reuben from a NY-style deli." We aren't in NY and classics are for reference, not stagnation. This is just a great sandwich and is definitely a Reuben, regardless of not containing six inches of mediocre meat.

Does being a vegan atheist make you a heretic to your own religion?

Usually agree with Kenji, but I cannot on the Frank's vs Tabasco question. Frank's just comes off as a simple, cheaper to make attempt at Tabasco's complexity. Boring is being nice. Sorry. I suspect the only reason this was in the original recipe for "Buffalo Wings" is because it was less expensive at the time, though since I was not born yet and simple Google searches yield few results on these prices in '64, I am guessing. :-)

"Nitpicking is the act of removing nits (the eggs of lice, generally head lice) from the host's hair. As the nits are cemented to individual hairs, they cannot be removed with most lice combs and, before modern chemical methods were invented, the only options were to shave all the host's hair or to pick them free one by one.

This is a slow and laborious process, as the root of each individual hair must be examined for infestation. It was largely abandoned as modern chemical methods became available; however, as lice populations can and do develop resistance, manual nitpicking is still often necessary."

Thank you internet. Don't forget to turn your pedantic off when you go out to play.

The "height of irresponsibility" would be not knowing how to control your own weight and expecting businesses to play mom to unrelated adults.

I am no fan of McDonald's, but sausage is meat paste essentially and most omnivorous humans do not have a problem with that, so I fail to see the issue with something meat based purely because it is in paste form (which McNuggets are not at this time). Also, a 3 ounce portion of the new bites (the snack size) has more protein in it than a 6 piece order of McNuggets (3.4 ounces), so there must be more chicken in it than meets the eye or taste buds.

@ L.A. Pizza Maven: To each their own, indeed. :-)

I would probably saute the jalapenos with the beef and add the peas on top of the beef uncooked. Also, I do not see hot sauce in the list of ingredients and step 8 is not displaying any text. I assume that is the step in which the pea mixture is pureed.

Almost sounds like a cross between Antica and Mozza.

@ stickywicket: Per the instructions, finish the cooking process in the oven.

Is that one and a half to one and two thirds pounds of tuna or one half to two thirds pound of tuna?

A couple of points:

- Jell-O used Dutched cocoa in theirs as indicated by the "...processed with alkali" phrase in the list of ingredients.

- Sodium stearoyl lactylate is the sodium salt of an ester of two naturally occurring fatty acids (stearic and lactic). It appears Jell-O is using it as an emulsifier here, but thickening with modified food starch and a little corn starch.

- Skim milk (not whole) is indicated in Jell-O's ingredient list.

If only the landed gentry part had persisted.
