> [@Trinopus](#): > > Fish bread. An ordinary loaf of bread, but with a zesty fish flavor to it. You’ve got garlic bread; why not shrimp bread? Or anchovy bread? > > Bagels and lox, right? So why not a lox bagel, with the flavor baked right into the bread? > > Also: a blueberry milkshake! Yum! I’m sure there actually is such a thing, but I’ve never seen it. If there’s a Culver’s in your neck of the woods you can probably get a blueberry shake there. I know they used to sell them, anyway. ---

Jalapeno Soda. It would be something like ginger ale with a hint of jalapeno flavor (not necessarily the heat). ---

> [@gallows\_fodder](#): > > You might find that combining two different types of artificial sweeteners helps with the taste (it’s like they cancel each other out or something :p). I use one packet of Splenda and one packet of Truvia in my morning tea, and I can’t detect the chemical aftertaste of either one when they’re combined. > > And congratulations on the weight loss! Use real actual stevia extract, unless you like it really sweet. :eek: At “normal” levels of sweetness, there is no detectable off-taste. Too much and there is a faint bitterness under the sicky-sweet. I will note that I am a PTU non-taster, and not a super-taster. I use it in coffee, tea, tisanes, and limeade, and detect no off-taste at all. It’s a liquid, but you can find it in pocket-size bottles, or fill a dropper bottle from the big one if you’re thrifty. It’s also natural product instead of being a chemical or chemically altered like Splenda. Sweet taste is actually two taste receptors: most atrificial sweetners hit only one, that’s why they don’t taste “right”. I think stevia may activate both, but I’m not sure of that. ---

> [@jdubs](#): > > Jalapeno Soda. It would be something like ginger ale with a hint of jalapeno flavor (not necessarily the heat). Years ago, I got some Mexican soda that was basically that. It was lemon-lime with serrano peppers. Spicy. but not real hot unless you drank it too fast. The brand name was “Crocodilo” I liked it, and it cured a co-worker of “communal refrigerator piracy.” Eyewitnesses said the result was spectacular. 😃 Apparently he was sensitive to hot peppers and chugged about two thirds before it hit him. :eek: ---

> [@FriarTed](#): > > If you have a Sonic’s or a Dairy Queen, you might ask about a blueberry milkshake. IF you have a blender, you can make your own blueberry milkshake. It used to be that you could get one in season anywhere there was a farmers market with a dairy store. I can remember getting one in Yellow Springs Ohio one beautiful spring day while listening to Led Zeppelin 4 in 1982. I am pretty sure it was Young’s … > [@purplehorseshoe](#): > > The toaster oven is your friend. Totally worth it for crispy oven-toasted snacks without the time and waste of heating up the whole big oven. I can remember when ou kitchen was being remodeled [for 3 freaking months …] and all I had was a toaster oven, a single burner hotplate and a propane hibachi with rotissery. You can buy toaster oven sized baking stuff, I still have the cutest little toaster oven sized [muffin tin](http://www.mileskimball.com/buy-toaster-oven-muffin-pan-325143)😃 > [@diggerwam](#): > > Turkey McNuggets (or any fast food chicken strip) with Cranberry dipping sauce. Holy shit that sounds like a hell of an idea. I bet it would work with any homemade McNugget recipe!

> [@jdubs](#): > > Jalapeno Soda. It would be something like ginger ale with a hint of jalapeno flavor (not necessarily the heat). Goya brand ginger beer lists “capsicum” as an ingredient, but has little pepper flavor, just a bit of extra heat. It’s good by itself or with rum, and makes great apple dumplings. (Recipe [here](http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/02/apple_dumplings/). Just use the ginger beer instead of Mountain Dew.)
