Hi,

God only knows................................ :confused: :confused:

I didn't realize that Reeses Pieces was such a 'new' candy: I now understand why the appearance on ET was such a big deal when it happened.

Lots of yummy things on that list. I have to admit that the Big Mac sometimes hit the spot!

Beware: I recently discovered that the new Doritos and Ruffles LITE varieties are actually WOW! in disguise and re-advertised.

Lasagna is VERY old

Thanks to this thread I found the History of Pasta website. :D

It has this to say about Lasagna....

"It will be maccheroni, I swear to you, that will unite Italy."
Giuseppe Garibaldi, on liberating Naples in 1860

I think Taylor Ham (pork roll, famous in NJ) was introduced in the late 1880's.

I don't have a favorite food but Taylor Ham grilled on a roll with Gulden's Mustard ranks up there.

There's even a website that sells it (and other Mid Atlantic delicacies like Tastykakes:)

If wine is not a food, I will have to choose cheese, a very old food. Here's what cheese.com says:

"Cheese is nutritious food made mostly from the milk of cows but also other mammals, including sheep, goats, buffalo, reindeer, camels and yaks. Around 4000 years ago people have started to breed animals and process their milk. That's when the cheese was born."

Spam Spam and More SPAM

I just LOVE :cool: SPAM In Sandwiches with pickle, fried with an Egg,made into strips and dipped in curry sauce, it is the best.

she don't like cocaine

The 19th century Coca Cola doesn't count. Today's formula was introduced rather later with caffeine replacing the original cocaine. Can't find the date, oddly enough, I'm usually a pretty good sleuth with Web searches.

Seconded.

Add Quiznos style subs (mmm....toasty) to the list.

I like meat. I like it rare so I guess it's been around since caveman times, when exactly did we first create fire

Coca-Cola was named back in 1885 for its two "medicinal" ingredients: extract of coca leaves and kola nuts. Just how much cocaine was originally in the formulation is hard to determine, but the drink undeniably contained some cocaine in its early days. Frederick Allen describes the public attitude towards cocaine that existed as Coca-Cola's developers worked on perfecting their formula in 1891 [/quote]

They cut the amount to a mere trace.

1940s - Nutella (an Italian pastry maker, faced with the rationing of cocoa during WWII, decided to make a chocolate substitute using hazelnuts as filler)

Regarding Coca Cola -- I just read an article that pointed out we now have DEEP FRIED COCA COLA. Apparently it was a new invention at one of the state fairs (Texas, I think).
