. I’m pretty sure that the strong, “cool” mint flavor characteristic of, say, York patties and Junior Mints can only be achieved with peppermint oil, an ingredient I haven’t used. Can anyone offer any...

.jpg I don’t recall the exact timeline, but Welch’s ended up being made by Nabisco and then were sold off to Tootsie. Tootsie still makes Junior Mints, Sugar Babies & Sugar Daddy. Some of the products are now made by...

I agree with all the Ghiradelli mix fans. One of my favorite ways to doctor them is to dump a couple of big boxes of junior mints (or half junior mints, half chocolate chips) on top of your just out of the oven brownies, let them...

What, no Junior Mints? (They’re very refreshing.)

As the rain continues to drench us here in formerly-sunny Los Angeles, my wife and I agreed on soup as the perfect choice for a low-key Presidents' Day dinner. The only problem, we couldn’t quite decide on just one, so I...

Yup, it’s the real deal. I believe it’s the best gelati I’ve had outside of Italy, and I’ve tried dozens of places, from Boston, to NYC, to SF. Great traditional flavors, and some fun American ones, like...

cinnamon rolls, brownies and a few other bars to choose from. The Junior Mint cupcake was my favorite, my husband liked the lemon one. Yum!

I tried Danube – the new Bulgarian restaurant in Westwood some have written about here – and came away about 90% disappointed. The highlight was clearly the lamb braised in parchment paper (pleasantly tender with a...

I have no idea if it’s still available, but the Junior League of Memphis put out a cookbook YEARS ago that I still have and is still fabulous. Someone once made a comment about it that made me think it’s a true...

I am amazed that no one has mentioned how unbelievably expensive Shopsin’s is. It’s this phony hippy place that offers free penny candy treats (charleston chews and junior mints) but is unbelieveably expensive. You...

Be fair to others – nothing smelly or noisy! (I remember an Air Canada Toronto > Halifax flight with six bikers in the back eating KFC; that was weird.) Personally, I bring junior mints and buy popcorn; a frighteningly...

well if you really don’t want to go out of your way...near the Met (I assume you mean Museum, not Opera?) on Madison Avenue is Eli’s – one of the Zabars – but you’ll probably pay a mint for them....

stops there. It’s nice enough inside with a few plants and pieces of art on the wall, but the cavernous interior and white painted cinder block sort of give off junior high gymnasium. I was determined not to have a bowl of...

Yeah, it’s pretty much at least in the '80s and possibly late '70s. That was junior high-high school era for me so I wasn’t really focusing on who made the cookies although the cookie itself! I can’t recall if I...
