Check out Dr. Brown’s Sodas , which I enjoy on occasion. Here is their flavor lineup:
Black Cherry
Cream
Gingerale
Root Beer
Celery
Now, some might argue that “Cream” is the odd flavor out, as all other flavors are derived from plants. In my opinion, though, “Celery” is the odd flavor out, as the other flavors are well-represented by other soda brands. I can’t think of another soda brand with “Celery” as one of their flavors.
YMMV.
It’s actually called “Cel-Ray,” but it is indeed celery soda. Older people who grew up in New York seem to like it, but I’ve never met anyone under 60 who would voluntarily drink the stuff.
I saw this year’s Jones Soda set at Target, and it was definitely Brussels Sprout. But I believe they switched a few flavors from the previous year, and they did indeed have Green Bean Casserole soda at one point.
Oh come on, man. Dr. Brown’s Cel-Ray is almost as good as Moxie.
I’ve never had Moxie, but only because I’ve never seen it for sale in Florida. What does it taste like?
Cough drops. Moxie tastes like cough drops. But it’s good.
Cough drops.
Moxie tastes like blech.
But to be fair I don’t like root beer or licorice flavors which it seems to resemble. My brother does though and he couldn’t take Moxie either. Maybe it’s a regional thing.
Re tomato jam-made with fresh garden ripe tomatoes it’s quite good. The tomato is really a fruit after all and some homegrown ones are nearly as sweet as candy.
Now the squash jam on the other hand…
Jelly Belly take note! It might make a good Bertie Bott’s flavor! 
I’m guessing tomato jam might taste really amazing with cream cheese, on toasted Italian bread rounds, or bagel or pita chips. I have a jar of jalapeno jelly in my fridge, which is a lot sweeter and less spicy than I was expecting, but it’s good with cream cheese on more savory baked goods like those.
I actually bought the set, but I still have yet to drink it. It was on sale for $5. How could I resist? The other ice cream stories - you win.
Crap, I meant that to be about the Jones Soda Holiday set box set. I’m still working up my courage.
When I was a teenager I went with a friend for a milkshake. When the girl asked what we wanted Jan asked for a sardine milkshake. The girl looked puzzled and said, “Sardine, isn’t that some kind of fish?”
“Yes, it is but that is all the rage in Europe - seafood milkshakes. You should tell your boss to start stocking sardine, salmon, crab and oyster flavouring.”
“I’ll mention it to him but I don’t think they’ll sell.”
Don’t bother. It’s not really a set of beverages, it’s a novelty collectible. Kinda loses its cachet, if all you have is the empty bottles. And IIRC, the caps can’t be put back on, so even if you merely sample them, they’re open for good.
DrFidelius,
For the record it’s nothing like Moxie. It’s exactly the opposite: Moxie has a strong medicinal flavor. Cel-Ray is a subtle balanced flavor with only a slight note of celery aftertaste. Because it doesn’t have a strong flavor I enjoy it with food. It doesn’t overpower the seasongings in the meal.
I tried it only because a friend suggested it. It wasn’t available locally so I looked for it as I traveled. The cashier at the store looked at me funny when I bought it. I was prepared for the worst. I opened the can over the bathroom sink, cup of water on the counter in case this stuff was nasty. What a pleasant suprise!
You’re right about Moxie. Like drinking a cough drop. Spearmint Altoids is like eating toothpaste.
I always find it amusing that when you get a nice bacon cheeseburger with all the “fixins” such as tomatoes and lettuce and pickles…that it is the ONLY time you would ever have bacon and pickles together. Well now with Subway you might have both on a sub or something but away from sandwich world, one just does not have bacon and pickles together, let alone in the same bite.
kaylaslategrandma (rest her soul) reportedly spent her child-rearing years putting Tobasco Sauce on everything from peanut butter sandwiches to Rice Krispies treats. Not because of any delusion that the flavors blended well, but to stake out the food as her own. It seemed to have been effective in keeping the kids uninterested in mooching off her plate.
Never said Cel-Ray was anything lke Moxie. Just said it is almost as good as Moxie.
How about a “gooberburger?” Peanut butter on a burger.
I made some garlic jelly last year that is great with cheese. I also found out that it is a superb addition to country sausage and biscuit. Who knew?
