I live in central NJ and there's still ice cream trucks in the neighborhood. I'm such an ice cream addict!

Hmmm... Never considered hotdogs with tuna...
What about the hotdog with the fish cake crumbled on top as seen on Holly Moore's webiste.

On the subject of Not Getting it: Why lettuce and tomatoes on burgers? Yuck. Pickles, triple yuck. The flavours get lost, and they distract from the protein-fat bit of heaven that is a cheeseburger with bacon and some thinly sliced red onion.
And I don't care if the lettuce is grown organically by descendants of Luther Burbank. It's in the way.
Finally found someone that agrees with me about that hamburger thing. If I want a hamburger, I want meat. I'll have the salad on the side. I also intensely dislike mayo on my burgers. The combination of hot and cold grease is not appealing.

A continental breakfast, featuring bologna, bread, dry cereal, cheese, some fruit, cofee and tea was $18.00.
Why bologna????
-
Liverwurst on rye (with seeds) with onion and hot mustard.
Cold meatloaf on seeded rye with thinly sliced onion and a dollop of ketchup (catsup)
Turkey breast, provolone and hard salami on italian bread with a kiss of mayo.
Cold sliced chicken (or turkey) between slices of pound cake.
Chicken salad on pumpernickel with bacon.
There's so many more that I can't even think of. I'm still digging Jason's monster sambwiches!

Is it too late for me to add my name to the list?

My favorite italian sub -- the Yankee Stadium, served at Mike's Deli at the Arthur Avenue Retail Market in the Bronx.
His "Albanian" which is made from dried aged Filet Mignon and mozzarella, is a very close second.
I want that sandwich!!
-
Mmmmmmmmm, I want one of each (except for the cucumber sandwich with mayo - ick!)
The classic tomato sandwich of my ute is:
fresh tomatoes thinly sliced
Wonder bread (in adulthood I use a firm textured white bread)
a kiss of mayo (not too thick or it gets ookey)
salt pepper
I could eat at least two of these babies!

Thank you for your responses. I'm surprised that the slimy consistency is a plus.
I think I would be willing to try it.
-
So what does mountain potato taste like? I'm totally unfamiliar with it.
-
Sadly it is cherry season here and I can't partake unless I want some itchy mouth.
Ben
Man! That sucks!
-
Gee and I thought I was the only person with weird food allergies. I remember that I couldn't even any kind of melon when I was a child. I'd itch all over! Now that I'm an adult I have no problems with melon, but apples make me hurl.
-
The past couple years, some raw fruit has given me trouble when I eat it. The inside of my mouth and tongue start to itch within a minute of contact. I was eating an apple today and it happened again so I looked it up.
Offending raw fruit for me: Apples, cherries, and pears. I dont seem to be bothered by anything else.
How about you? Does anybody else have this? Who wants to be my syndrome buddy?
Ben
Apples not only bother the inside of my mouth it also causes acute gastro intestinal distress!
(ahem!)

and i have seen black people working at in-n-out, actually. but if you live in SF, then you probably don't have as many in-n-out restaurants nearby as i do.
what's the deal with black folks working at in-n-out? Is that the definition of a good burger?
-
Cowboy sandwiches. Grind spam and velveeta, smear on squishy white bread buns, broil open faced.
Whoa! That's the first recipe on this thread that thoroughly grossed me out. Damn! That sounds nasty!

I've got some good tips for getting over a plateau.
How about sharing those now?
Sure! Increase your water intake, watch when you carbs (some people don't easily tolerate carbs in the latter part of the day), increase proteins, and try to remain patient!
My worst plateau was approximately 4 months. Drove me crazy, but I eventually succeeded.

Weight watchers bars, animal crackers and tea.
I'm glad somone else said it first, but I keep Weight Watchers bars too (just had one a few minutes ago). And always, always a big cup of water.
Yeah, at first I was in denial, but hey, it's a valid weight loss program!
Screw it, I'm coming out of the weight loss closet!!

The problem with many of the leaders is that they think they are comedians. Let's not encourage them.
But why not encourage them? She's obviously a caring woman that is willing to work with members of the group if they're having specific problems.
She shows genuine concern (not that phoney rah rah stuff!) about our accomplishments and our setbacks. There was a couple of times that I was going to quit, but she get me to stick it out.
Yes, Yes, I know it's a multi-million dollar business, but she's very good at what she does. By the way, she's a music teacher, maybe that has something to do with her ease in front of a group of people.
Okay, I'll get off my soapbox now. I'm still interested in contributing to the egullet version.

We promise not to ignore you
. We are working on a full program that will be unique to egullet. That sounds pretty nifty.
Hell, count me in! I've got some good tips for getting over a plateau.

I think it's a requirement to not have a sense of humour at WW meetings or their leaders.
Wha??? I've been going to WW for a while now (34+ lbs) and my leader could easily be a stand up comedian! She's an absolute hoot! Sometimes we're all laughing so much that we forget about the weight part. It's a very closely knit, supportive group.
That's wonderful! However, based on what I've experienced and heard from other members, your leader is the exception, rather than the rule.
That's true too. I've heard some real horror stories about some of the WW leaders and their phoney enthusiasm. Yuck!
So your committee is going to do a WW inspired egullet thread? I'm very interested and would glady take part, especially if people actually commented back to me. I usually wind up being ignored.

I think it's a requirement to not have a sense of humour at WW meetings or their leaders. Which is why I chose to decline being one You go Bill. We're all going to have wonderful meals, and still lose weight. It's all about choices

Ever had Mysore Pak before?
I thought mysore pak was an analgesic for sore muscles!
How silly of me!
Thanks for the lesson!

WHAT??!! No one has mentioned Cotton Candy.
The stuff they sell now on the Boardwalk in Point Pleasant Beach, already pre bagged, just isn't the same as the fresh spun. I remember seeing the paper cone swipe around the tub collecting wisps of cotton. You would wish that the counter person would keep going, not stopping until top was so heavy it would lean to one side. Wisps would fly out of the tub and you could grab them before they flew off to the beach.
Ah - summer.
I was never a big cotton candy girl - too sticky! I remember watching them make it though. A fascinating process.
