    There are things that I like that are salty but I cannot think of any "drinks" I like that are. ;)

    Margaritas! ARRIBA LA BOMBA! :)

    I usually order mine without the salt on the rim. I have had them that
    way, too, and won't complain about it. ;)

    Anchovies is a bridge too far though. Maybe someday.

    Add some salty to that sweet! You could try Spam first. It's not quite the same thing, though. Still good.

    I think "Canadian bacon" and ham are basically the same thing.

    In the USA, they often are. True Canadian bacon, IIRC, is made from back cuts, which are usually leaner, instead of belly cuts (like it is in the US).

    I live in the US, and I've always thought Canadian bacon and ham seemed a bit different..

    My father used to buy orange juice that was wattered down with pineapple or grapefruit juice (depending on what he bought). He'd always get upset
    that I could tell the difference and would not drink it.

    I remember when that was popular, I have had it but like you I don't like it.
    I prefer OJ to be all orange.

    Yes it was. If my father was buying it, it must have been during a time when pineapple and grapefruit juice was cheaper than orange juice. Otherwise, I am pretty sure he wouldn't have been buying it and trying to pass it off as OJ.


    maybe he just liked it for himself.
    i'm not sure when they started doing this but do you know that orange juice is the most processed type of juice? they put the liquid in a tank and seal it in a vaccume and then it loses all it's flavor. then they add a 'flavor packet' which is pretty much chemicals extracted from peels. the most natural version of orange juice is from concentrate which is processed as well. they introduce water into orange juice pulp.

    i would think pineapple and grapefruit juice are more expensive than orange juice to produce.

    Ummmmm..... no.

    Maybe the OJ that *you* drink is that way. The "most natural" kind of
    OJ is called "fresh squeezed". If you haven't had that, you really
    haven't had orange juice.

    Spam actually used to be a weekly staple in my childhood.

    People have talked badly about Spam for decades. I thought it was all right.

    Never considered it as a pizza topping, if that's what you mean. Maybe I'll try it on my next homemade one.

    I don't drink that often, either, but have been known to mix vodka or tequila with it.

    I've been working in Oakland, CA recently - a town I lived in for many
    years before moving to the coast.

    I walked by Cafe Van Kleef, a funky bar we used to go to. Little Shop of Horrors design, lots of coolhip people, live music on an elevated stage,
    and Salty Dogs.

    They'd take 2 grapefruits, squeeze them into a pint glass with ice, add
    a shot of vodka, salt the rim, and add a grapefruit wedge as garnish.

    Heavenly.

    The first time I went there, during the band's break, Hot Pink Feathers,
    a local burlesque dance troupe did their carnaval routine as a warmup
    for the parade the following week.

    The second time I went there, I felt lucky getting a parking place in
    front - it was in a semi-dodgy part of downtown, at least at night.

    Around 12:30am, the bartender asked if anyone drove the gold toyota
    parked out front.

    I went out to see the aftermath of the bouncer bouncing someone, him
    coming back to get his friends, the bouncer beating them all off, and
    they bidding a hasty retreat - across the tops of several cars parked in
    front. Trunk, hood, roof all stove in, windshield broken. Insurance did
    me well, though, to the tune of $9000.

    I went back in to the bar to get us another round of Salty Dogs. The
    bartender said "$24.50". I pointed at my car, and she said "On the
    house"...

    Good Times.

    My wife's birthday was this weekend, and we went to a restaurant in Carmel-by-the-sea last night. I had the Osso Bucco, she the risotto. We
    split a Caesar salad, and couldn't place why it was so good.

    The anchovies were fresh.

    We live near Monterey, where Cannery Row was where all of the anchovy
    and sardine canneries thrived in the early 20th century. They must still
    be able to harvest some, because this anchovy wasn't oily, didn't have
    that musky, fishy taste - it was much lighter, much more complex. Very interesting.

    Maybe, but he wanted us to think it was regular OJ which makes me think it
    must have been cheaper at that time.
