Scooby Snack Recipe
Published by Expired Foods on at 8:27 AM.
Don't shoot the messenger on this one... I wouldn't post this unless it actually sounded consumable by humans (??!!?)
Scooby Snack Recipe
2 cups flour
2 eggs
1 cup Quaker dry oatmeal
1 tbsp. vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
1 tbsp. walnut extract
1/2 cup sugar (optional)
1 oz. of finely ground herbal medicine (???)
1/4 pound (1 stick) butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. If there is not enough liquid to mix all ingredients after five minutes of stirring, add a tiny amount of milk to aid in mixing of remaining ingredients. Taste better before cooking and adjust amount of sugar to your liking.
Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on how large you made your cookies. Can be cooked for a shorter time for chewier cookies, or a longer time for drier, crisp cookies.

Burgers at McDonald's Differ Around the World
Published by Expired Foods on at 7:41 AM.
For example: The Australian McDonald's menu features the McOz which is similar to the Big Mac and features beetroot, a popular addition to burgers in Australia. Names of other worldly menu items include the Kiwi Burger, the McHuevo, the McNifica, the McAfrika, and the McLaks. In India the Big Mac becomes the Maharaja Mac, a mutton burger in making sure to have an item on the menu that does not contain beef or pork.
I can easily say I have no desire to try any of these...

NEW YORK -- A 25-foot-long, 17 1/2-ton popsicle made of frozen Snapple melts in New York's midday sun, flooding Union Square with a sticky pink fluid that sent pedestrians scurrying for higher ground. Snapple had been trying to promote a new line of frozen treats by setting a record for the world's largest popsicle, but called off the stunt before the frozen giant was pulled fully upright by a construction crane.

Ugliest Vegetable Contest
Published by Expired Foods on 10.12.2005 at 10:31 AM.
Britain's National Trust has launched a campaign to find the country's ugliest vegetable.
Gardeners were encouraged to submit anything from two legged carrots to corkscrew runner beans, which often taste great but are rejected because of their looks.
The trust, which looks after many of Britain's historic gardens, says it hopes the campaign counters a trend among retailers for stocking perfect looking fruit and veg, regardless of its taste.
Entrants have nearly a year to produce something ugly.
Winners will be announced during British Food Fortnight in September next year.
