Perhaps my general aversion to liver causes me to remember it as smelly ;-)
I do recall my school-kid friends bringing liverwurst sandwiches for lunch; but it just doesn’t seem to be a ‘thing’ around here anymore.
Yes, the fast-food burger places are nothing like they were when I was a kid. The only time we eat at McDonald’s now, is right after our yearly physicals - there’s a McDonald’s right next to the doctor’s office, and it provides a fun ‘poke-in-the-eye’ to health, after we’re done with being lectured ;-)
The fish sandwich there was pretty good in the past; but now it always seems like a warmed-over afterthought.

Yes, of course, that was when McDonald’s fries were salted and fried in beef tallow. That company can blame everything under the sun for their problems but it was getting rid of the tallow that did them in.
STRAWBERRY PINA COLADA / creates flowing lava effect.
Blender 2 oz rum, 1/2 oz coconut cream, 2 oz strawberries to smooth paste. Pour into Collins glass. Blender smooth 2 oz coconut cream, 2 oz pineapple juice, crushed ice. Pour atop strawberry mixture very slowly; strawberry mixture oozes to top along sides of the glass creating flowing lava effect.
SERVE Garnished w/ pineapple wedge.
Wonderful. And the Jersey strawberries are on sale - just bought some this morning at the Union Square Market.
I happened to eat at a Wendy’s today, and they had a new burger sandwich that was actually very good: a Bacon Mozzarella burger. It had very fresh and crispy spring greens on it, and a parmesan-garlic sauce. I was surprised, because I’m used to being disappointed in the fast-food burger places. (Their fries are as bad as McDonald’s, but at least they have the malt vinegar to go with):

I always liked Wendys. Although you’re right, nix on the fries. I haven’t had fast food in a month although I don’t eat it all that much. A Roy Rogers has opened near me. What do we think of that?
“Howdy,Pardner!”
(When Roy Rogers first opened locally, the people behind the counter had to say that to each customer. We thought it was hilarious, and felt sort of sorry for them ;-)
I always liked Roy Rogers - especially the ‘fixins bar’, where they had a creamy horseradish sauce. I think there are only two of them in our area, now...
It’s been ages since I went to one, so I don’t know what they’re like now. I used to get the Sourdough Ham Egg and Cheese sandwich for breakfast when we were on the road in PA; that was good, too.

I had the roast beef sandwiches back in the 70s which seemed good to me. Also, a nice place to have a baked potato.
I’m glad to hear the Roy Rogers restaurants are coming back-——for cultural reasons.
A shame Roy’s son announced they were closing the Roy Rogers Museum......another piece of historic America gone.
Roy was my hero as a five year old. One of the best books I read in grade school was the story of Dale adopting a special needs child. I cried like a baby - except I was a baby, lol!
As with other American heroes (Robert E. Lee comes to mind), there are people on the internet who write vile lies about Roy in order to destroy the hope of decent Americans.
Thank God for FR.
Roy Rogers and Dale Evans——exemplify all-American.
Sometimes their movies still surface on cable-—very enjoyable.
They represent MY America - the one I grew up with.
Or all Muslim half-wit? He certainly exposed himself this week.
Happened upon this article about best places to eat out in London.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/art/london-culture/london-best-places-to-eat/
66 London restaurants have been anointed by Michelin stars.
Thanks, Liz! I tend not to eat in Michelin-starred restaurants because I can’t afford it. But London has gorgeous food - and has had for at least 15-20 years. I’m planning a major trip there in ‘17.
