Your wish....


:D

I just finished talking with the Marshal. We can have it, we just need a description for it like the other forums have. Any ideas?

"Good Eats. Everybody has to eat, but some folks eat better than others, and some folks eat some unique foods. Gotta cook it to eat it, so here's a place for recipes and discussions on foods of the Old West."

How's that?

"...here's a place to share recipes and discussions..."

Looks like you got it nailed, Annie.

Call it Forty Rod's Feed Sack. (Don't even consider doing that for real.)

Figgered since he thought of it, Forty Rod would want it to be called the Mess Hall.  Could even have a KP Korner  ;D.

How 'bout "The Chuckwagon",  "Grub Box", or "Castiron Cowboy Cafe"?  Then, there's always "The Original Meals on Wheels".
Title: Re: You know what this place needs?
Post by: Forty Rod on July 14, 2005, 09:39:21 AM
Original Meals On Wheels would get my vote, but we might run into copyright laws or some such.

Mess hall don't cut it, and I'll starve before KP Corner gets my vote. (Shudder, gulp.)

Two decades ago I went into a restaurant in San Diego with my family and my wife's mom and ordered SOS.  The lady brought me a huge plateful and smiled when she set it in front of me.  I looked up and recognized her as a sailor who had worked in engineering supply when I was at Seal Beach.  She wasn't the one who had taken our order, but was the head night chef in the place, and had seen me when she looked out to see who had ordered her "specialty".

"Eat up, Gunny.  There's more where that came from".

It was delicious and I wasn't charged for it, just the drink and desert.

I still make it at home every once in a while.  I actually like it if it's done right.

Good SOS is just that: good. Even a flyboy knows that. But bad SOS might be best served as mortar for bricks. ;)

Meanwhile... no new suggestions for names?

I'm leaning back to "Good Eats" and won't run with "Chuckwagon".

Annie Lee said: "It's Feed Bag because Feed Sack sounds like something Trinity would WEAR."

Hey, I've WORN feed sack clothes.  My grandma used to have a bunch of layin' hens and sold eggs to the local grocery store in town.  I can (sometimes - on a good day ;D) remember when I was a little guy and came to spend time with my grandparents in the summer.  The chicken feed she bought came in cloth sacks (seems like they were 40-50 lbs)  that had all different kinds of floral designs, etc. on them, and when empty, she would  make table cloths, napkins, or accasionally make me shirts.  Those were "feed sacks".  My grandpa raised sheep, goats and some cattle, and was also a subsistence farmer, doing all of his plowing, etc., with a team of horses.  He had, and I occasionally saw him use, what he called a feed "bag" or nose "bag".  If you want to see what one looks like, see http://www.feedritebag.com/ (http://www.feedritebag.com/).

Post by: Joyce (AnnieLee) on July 16, 2005, 07:35:00 AM
Capt. Hamp, I've worn feed sack shirts too, and have dried many dishes using a feed sack towel. Feed bags are something you stick over the nose of a horse. It's that mental imagery: sack vs. bag that lead me to choose "bag."

Feed sacks, flour sacks, patterns from Woolworth's, and Mom's old Singer kept my sister and me from running around nekkid when we were kids.  That, and iron-on patches on our jeans and corduroy (I'll be nekkid to this very day before I'll wear corduroy ever again) in the winter.

Do we need a sewing thread now?  Iron patches. My mother and grandmother would save and salvage patches from the jeans that should have gone to the burn barrel.  The jeans were from Sears. then couldn't afford Levi's (still can't) Besides Wrangler sponsor's Rodeo.

Levi's closed the doors on their last American factory last year in San Antonio and moved down south.  While that shouldn't surprise us, with something that's so "American" as Levi's, it's sort of depressing.  :(

 Trinty, that is the way of production these days. You don't have to like it but, we are not a manufactoring country anymore. Wrangler is also  in Mexico these days. Sears no longer sells their Rustler brands it's cheaper for them to buy someone elses foreign made product. Along with the Auto industry, Most of our large producer of consumer goods have opted for cheap foreign labor..  Use to be our family would not buy anything not made in the USA. Even if it says it in  the label, somewhere down the production  line, the product has a foreign part.

Well... maybe it will make us feel better (probably worse!) that the folks south of the border are now losing out to Asia! 

My father was in textiles (even worked at Levi's in SA back in the late 70's) and lived below the border a few times in different countries.  He saw the writing on the wall and having no interest in travelling to Asia, he left the industry and now raises minuature horses.   Big difference, huh?
