What food is dated?

Wha? People put eggs in soda?

Uh-huh.  Egg sodas and phosphates.

Some old mixed cocktails had egg in them too.

My first reaction is YUCK. However, I like egg nog and frozen custard. Have you had one?

I like that stuff too.  
Nope I never had an egg soda.  I been to an old style soda fountain that served them though in Adirondacks once. I didn't ask about them and just saw it on the board they offered them.   I guess it is supposed to make the soda creamy and is usually flavored like cream soda.   Neither characteristic appeals to me.

I did try  rye cocktail with egg white in it and it was vile.

Need lard or tallow for a good pie crust.  Shortening doesn't work as good and is actually worse for you.

Then homefries!  Lard is key for some good homefries.

I know it tastes terrific.  It is animal fat and is very bad for you.  I don't know how bad the other stuff is, but Lard is bad for your arteries, to say the least.

I agree.  It makes dynamite pie crust. 

Moderation yo.  I see below you are a veggie now so.

My grandma cooked everything in lard or bacon fat and lived to a ripe old age.

Haven't you heard, they are changing their minds about lard.  I've seen several recipes lately calling for lard.  I had not seen the word 'lard' in 20 years or so. 

We're going back to eating the way we ate when I was growing up.  Let the government stay out of our kitchens.  Eating pure and simple foods with sweets and fats in moderation has always worked.  That just takes the steam out of several agencies and the whole huge ridiculous "weight loss" industry.  It can't happen soon enough. 

Agree, and authentic refried beans--made with lard--are the best.

That sounds really amazing.  I don't eat animal, but I used to so I know from what you speak. 

^THIS!^

I wonder if that is what it feels like to men?  I don't know and neither do you.

Love melting stuff.  Love fondue.   It has such ambience. 

If you can cook meat, you can cook anything else.  Cheelse melts at a rather low temp.  So have fun.  Melt chocolate too and dip strawberries and cookies.
