I wasn’t forking sure what Red Velvet Flavor is suppose to be? Every-time I tried it I didn’t care for it because it was like not so good tasting bloody looking chocolate with a not so good tasting icing. Not good enough to be chocolate and not yummy enough frosting to eat….to me.  I do know most people forking like Red Velvet. Maybe I just haven’t had a good Red Velvet yet?

I did a little FORKING research. (and no I would NEVER eat a red velvet pop-tart)

NO FORKING BODY KNOWS the exact forking history of the Red Velvet Cake.

Some people believe somebody from the New York Waldorf Astoria invented it in the 1920s.

The definition of a Red Velvet Cake is a Reddish Buttermilk Coca Layer Cake topped with cooked Roux Icing or a Cream Cheese Icing. The Reddish Color is either from Beet Root or Food Coloring.

There isn’t a forking lot of difference between Mayonnaise and Aioli. This is what they are.

Mayonnaise is an emulsion of neutral oil, egg yolk, lemon juice or vinegar. Adding the addition of mustard to Mayonnaise turns the sauce into Remoulade.

Aioli was invented in France. Aioli is hand made by pounding garlic cloves into a paste and then whipping egg yolk, lemon juice, and olive oil into the mixture.

Hand Carved Belly Lox from Abe’s Deli Scottsdale AZ (Now Closed for Business)

My Search for Lox began when Miller’s Deli Closed.  The Miller’s Deli Grill basically was an slim downed version of Abe’s Deli (same owner that closed Abe’s and opened the smaller Miller’s)

At both Abe’s and Miller’s I could get hand carved Lox and a tasty pastrami

or a traditional potato knish.

The hand cut lox  either belly or nova  that Abe’s or Miller’s served was always far superior to factory cut lox. Pastrami should have some fat like good BBQ so it can melt in your mouth with a lot of flavor. Everybody knows that fat equals flavor. That’s part of why many people like bacon or pepperoni.  Nobody raves about fat free BBQ, fat free bacon or fat free pepperoni and pastrami is the same. Good pastrami means about 3 weeks of brining  brisket with pickling spices and garlic and then it’s carefully smoked.

One month ago today I wrote about my first stop for lox. It was dreadful with terrible food that was very miss handled. (You just have to read that one)

I recently made a second search for lox and did much better but it wasn’t the one yet.

The 2nd stop didn’t offer Belly Lox but only has Nova. To me it didn’t seem hand cut but I do note it was very fresh and better tasting than what I can purchase at the upscale AJ’s Supermarket.

Nova Lox Cream Cheese on a Bagel from Goldman’s Deli Scottsdale AZ

The pastrami was very carefully prepared and was very moist, very fresh and succulent. It seemed very mild with spices  and I’m not sure if it was smoked because it sort of reminded me of corned beef like what I remember tasting from the East Coast.

I liked that it was on real rye bread. I can’t find anything bad about it but I just prefer my pastrami more full flavored.

I wasn’t able to try a potato knish because they were out of them the day I was in.

I also do need to note this Deli is Chicago Style and should differ than the East Coast Style I’m familiar with.

The search for Spock I mean Lox will  be continued.

In 1941 CheeriOats were introduced and became what we all know as Cherrios and are made by General Mills.

Some time in 1976 General Mills said a Forking Cherrio to just selling regular forking Cheerios so today you have maybe TEN flavors to pick from.

Fruity Cheerios (for when your thinking about that cute Birdie Sam, The Fruit Loop Bird)

Multi Grain Cheerios Peanut Butter (unless you have a peanut allergy)

Multi Grain Cheerios Dark Chocolate Crunch (because we hear Dark Chocolate is healthy)

Frosted Cheerios (because original Cheerios are just too forking healthy)

Apple Cinnamon Cheerios (an apple a day keeps the doctor away)

Honey Nut Cheerios Medley Crunch (sometimes you feel like a nut)

Honey Nut Cheerios (without the forking medley or forking crunch but hey there is a free car inside)

Cheerios Protein (????)

Multi Grain Cheerios (For when you don’t really feel like eating forking Cheerios)

In 2009 Cheerios had to pull their Forking Advertising of saying things like “You can lower your Cholesterol 4% in 6 Weeks” because the FDA said that kind of advertising made Cheerios to be an unapproved DRUG due to labeling.

2014 – Cheerios are no longer made with genetically modified ingredients.

Cheerios meets the Criteria to be certified for the American Heart Association.
