Hi Dave,

True enoough. But you're not running a highly profitables fats food
store specialising in sandwiches. When I hake something like that as
"hand food" I'll use Cheddar, Co-jack, Colby, Ementhal (Swiss), or a
slice of pepper-Jack. If not doing sausage I'll do crispy cooked
"real" bacon.

I'm just out to please my own taste buds, not the LCD of the average population, (G)

As are most of us.

Check out some of the prepackaged salad mixes; that's where we find the shaved sprouts.

I buy the salad bags sometimes when they're on special offer. They
sare mostly chopped lettuce, maybe some shredded carrot and little
else. On
some evenings I'll slice a few radishes, dice a tomato and dump them &
a bag of premix "salad" into a big serving bowl and pour the dressing
on.

Read the ingredients listing. Usually the sweet kale or lemon kale
mixes have the brussels sprouts.

Fare enuff. I usuall just get the lettuce based bags. My most "exotic" salad green is probably dandy-lions.

So step out of your comfort zone and try something different. The bagged
mixes are good when the combination of fresh ingredients is either
expensive or you know you won't use them all before they go bad. We
usually get about 4 salads (2 meals) out of a bag, YMMV.

Oh, I do. And I usually get the low-end bags and tart them up to my taste.
And I will usually, if doinf bagged salad - make that my meal so I don't
have to worry about the remainder becong a "science experiment" in the
reefer. Bv)=

Understandable. Wegman's does a lemon sweet kale salad that's basically
the same as the sweet kale we get at Sam's. Wegman's says that it's only
3 servings so I'll either make 4 small salads or 2 larger ones,
depending on the what else is being served.
