Whole, 2% or skim...? =R=

To me, this product doesn't taste even remotely like pastrami. In fact, I thought it was barely pastrami-esque. Too bad too because I do enjoy many other Best Kosher products, but this really pales. Irwin, I'll be curious to get your take on it. I think you're about to take a significant step backwards in satisfaction. =R=

*standing ovation* Sounds like a delicious dinner...is this it for the day or will there be snacking later? =R=

We await it eagerly... =R=

*nods in agreement* =R=

LOL! Shouldn't you be doing something...? =R=

Thanks Willie...I remember reading this thread back when you first started it. This almost has me excited about visiting my MIL =R=

:sad: :sad: I miss you guys! Please tip a few back for me... =R=

Hmmmm....17 pounds will require some very big rolling papers =R=

LOL! My experience has been the same. The popularity of (100% canned) GBC is mythical and mystical... =R=

Peanut Butter again? That's my fave too...not great, but decent for what they are. =R=

Nice pics Ling...that's a beautifully composed plate. =R=

My grandma used to make that green bean casserole for our TG dinners when I was growing up...decades ago I still make it for TG dinner every year (for sentimental reasons because she is gone) and every year it disappears. I think it's just one of those items... =R=

I was thinking the same thing about Bayless' doing the ad in the first place... =R=

Thanks for posting that Kayakado. =R=

They're brothers? I never knew that. Skip had a brief and recently-ended stint here as a columnist with the Chicago Tribune. =R=

Thanks Willie. I'll save the date until I hear otherwise. =R=

November 22 does work for me but please don't mess up an otherwise workable plan on my account. =R=

I asked a hypothetical question upthread about how Bayless' future efforts would be perceived. I hope that the perspective communicated here won't be the typical one...now that he's done a BK ad, his every effort will be called into question. I suppose that's only fair, but the logical extension of such cynicism is that it can only hurt the very causes that Bayless works to advance; the same causes whose "betrayal" by Bayless caused so much disappointment here in the first place. So much of that disappointment has been about what Bayless did to those who trusted in him (CC, FFF, etc.). Now we learn that he is still working to advance those same causes, yet his effort is now of questionable motive. IMO, if the efforts are still being made (and appreciated by the beneficiaries), the efforts are still laudible. While a court room may exist on a "black and white" axis, real life does not. It's filled with shades of grey. And as for the loyalties of Mr. Vettel...again, who cares? His personal biases are no less (or more) significant than those of anyone posting here. His piece has an editorial slant. Because it differs from one of ours, it is somehow questionable? =R=

So far, you're right on schedule. =R=

So disappointed/envious that we cannot be there...have a fantastic time everyone! =R=

Thanks Mark for both taking the time to conduct these tests and for posting the results for us. I guess they don't prove (beyond a reasonable doubt) the effects of the wine clip but given your experience and the experience of the testers (as you described them) I consider them to be credible--especially in light of the specific discussion that generated the test(s) in the first place. I look forward to reading about the results of the other tests too although I don't see myself as a potential customer of this product regardless of any test results. =R=

Thanks Ling...I look forward to reading your blog this week. BTW, for how many people were you cooking Thanksgiving dinner? Were they appreciative of your effort? =R=

[Host's note: To minimise the load on our servers, this topic has been split. This discussion continues from here.] Not sure, but I did see another BK ad today from the same campaign, and in it a honey-djion (I think) chicken sandwich was being touted by one Rachael Ray... =R=

Thanks for the wonderfully candid post Squeat. I think it's only natural for us to be critical of others for exhibiting the traits we like the least in ourselves. But, going beyond that initial reaction, as you did, can often lead to epiphany and personal growth. =R=
