Hi Dave,


 DD> Hardee's bought the Roy Rogers operation for their fried chicken and
 DD> the roast beast came with. I used to enjoy watcheing the slicer "go to
 DD> town" when they were making up a sandwich. And the fried chicken was
 DD> *great*. Much better than Kentucky Fried Colonel for my $$$. And they
 DD> got quite a bit of it before Carl's Jr. bought them and discontinued
 DD> both the roast beef and the chicken.  Bv(=

There's a Roy Rogers in Winchester, VA. We stopped there last November
on our way up north and yes, we got (good) roast beef sandwiches. Might
make it a more often stop.

 RH> It has been a while since we've been in a Carl's Jr; having the camper
 RH> we now usually fix our own lunches. IIRC, the menua are similr, but, as
 RH> you say, slight differences. I can't recall specific ones tho.

 DD> The one thing that Carl's Jr. brought to Hardee's that I think is a
 DD> plus iss the "Frisco" burger - a 1/3-pound charbroiled Black Angus
 DD> beef patty covered in Swiss cheese, mayo, tomatoes, and bacon
 DD> sandwiched between
 DD> toasted sourdough.

 DD> And now they have a BLT version which adds lettuce and more tomato and
 DD> bacon. Right now they're offering 50% off in their app so I've had a
 DD> few of those. By itself it's a meal.

I've seen it advertised on tv, both a chicken version and a beef
version. I think I'd go for the chicken, but take the chicken out and
have it on the side. We don't have the app so would pay full price if we
went for it. Today's lunch was splitting a chicken bake at Costco; I
had an appointment down in Raleigh, ran some other errands (including
Costco) before going to the dr. Not the greatest but it beats a burger
or their pizza.

 DD>      8<----- SNIP----->8

 DD> My brother did a tour in Vietnam. To this day he will not eat rice.

 RH> I'm not surprised. Back when our older daughter and her husband bought
 RH> a Mitsubishi Eclipse, my dad didn't like the car because it was
 RH> Japanese (one of his ships was hit by an--unsuccessful--kamikaze
 RH> attack). He did buy German cars tho.

 DD> Well, Mitsubishi did manufacture the Zero and other aeroplaes before
 DD> switching back to cars after the war.

Which is why my dad was not happy to see our SIL's car.


 DD> Bv)= In actuality it's the Japanese manufacturers who made Detroit "up
 DD> their game" quality-wise. Used to be if you had a car the lasted for
 DD> 100K miles it was rare, Then came the post-WWII Japanese cars. Now
 DD> it's not uncommon for me to wait on customers at AutoZone with
 DD> domestic iron that has more than 200K and still going strong.

We put probably 100,000+ miles on the Frontier, know we did 135,00+/-
with the Honda in late 70s to early 80s.

 DD>       Title: Navy S.O.S. (Minced Beef) DD>  Categories: Beef,
 Vegetables DD>       Yield: 10 Servings

 RH> Never heard of or saw that at home when I was growing up.

 DD> We had S.O.S. fairly often when I was a youngster. Both the hamburger
 DD> based and the "real" sliced, dried beef versions .... depending on how
 DD> close it was to payday.  Bv)=

 RH> Mom did other things to stretch the budget but never S.O.S.

 DD> Since your Dad was in Unc's Yacht Club he probably put the kibosh on
 DD> that.

Most likely so. (G) First time I had it was in college, made with ground
beef and served on a gritty roll. At the time, the school newspaper
printed menus for the week ahead; they called it S.O.S. to nobody's
(that I was aware of) objection. When the school opened up their new
campus center with a cafeteria (instead of the under the dorms family
style meals), they stopped printing the menus.
