Zaya and Appleton's 21 Rums. Both sweet, but the Key Limes does cut.

Even better is this mustard I get at a Polish grocery in my Brooklyn nabe... it's brand name is in Cyrillic, so I can't read it, but dang it's good. Great on dogs, great on kielbasa. Like Guldens had a love child with Plochman's, only somehow better.

Originally Posted By Labuda "Unless it's bacon. Everything is better with bacon." Odd of you to bring up bacon here... I first notived America's fascination with bacon at the first Club 33 meet... and since then it's creeped into my life and pop culture everywhere, it seems. What's up with that?
Originally Posted By andyll <Meat doesn't need condiments.> I actually agree with Douglas on something. Of course hotdogs are not real meat so relish is fine there.
Originally Posted By Labuda "Pork fat rules?" See you just hit on what I don't like abgout bacon - the fat. I only eat bacon fat if my bacon is so crispy it's almost burnt. If it's at all squishy, no WAY will I eat the fat - I just peel the meat off the fat and then eat the meat.
Originally Posted By DyGDisney I like my bacon the same as Labuda. Don't want any squishy fat on mine.
