Real food is fried in lard [tup][tup]
If it ain’t fried, it ain’t food!
Barley is malted in North America, but it seems the majority of malting is done in Germany, the Czech republic and Britain. I’ve been in smaller operations around Guelph, Ontario but they weren’t large enough to supply any of the major breweries. Barley is grown here, malted there, shipped back and turned into beer here. And remember, what’s good for Milo Minderbinder is good for America and everyone has a share!
Here you go …

I believe that it is; Around 20% of the people that drink 80% of the potato chips[dinner]
When I was looking around for recipes for “railroad French toast,” several of the recipes called for lard for frying it.
An oldtimer once explained to me that if you wanted really flaky pie crusts, you need to use lard. I think the same would be true of french toast. The traditional English diner-ype breakfast included fried bread.
Thank you[:D].
But that’s lard in the pie-crust DOUGH, not what you prepare the crust in.
On the other hand, one of the best ways to cook hamburgers is to immerse them in very hot grease. Flash-cooks them with most of the juice sealed inside, and most of the grease just drains off when you take the burgers out …
Lard is the glue that holds a good, flaky pie crust together.
There was an episode on one of those food shows a while back concerning a burger place that does exactly that, and apparently hasn’t changed said grease in years. They just keep adding as needed…
Unless I am mistaken, that would have been Dyer’s (here in Memphis). Just google “Memphis burger grease” and look what pops up…
Cornbelt beer is no longer an option. Sorry. Hope springs eternal.

There has been no early frost in the tall potato state. The solution to the potato chip crises is a superior substitute in good supply.
Popcorn!
Product density is not a great freight rate issue. Popcorn comes condensed. It transports in bulk for bagging. If a hopper car is lost for a few weeks crossing Chicago, spoilage is not as crucial as chips.
Pour the kernels into a pan of heated to liquid lard and popcorn expands light and fluffy. Apply salt and melted butter to taste.
With what one saves with popcorn versus chips, nothing foul must you sip. Budweiser be banished. Make way for Michelob.
The fact that some products cost more then the package bothers me. I do have the option of refilling my growlers of beer and have considered installing my own keg system. I think that Amtraks Snack car would go to Red Solo Cups and a draft system that might be better,
Beer Flavored Potato Chips!
I recently had Guinness flavoured potato chips. Really! They were pretty good. I just can’t figure out what beer to have with them.
Do you want a lid on your coffee?
Red solo cups of suds on Amtrak on bad track are a bad idea. While beer does burn like hot coffee, arriving at your destination smelling like a frat house is not desirible.
The gyroscopic bar car may make draft beer is solo cups socially acceptable.

[B] I have an oid old bottle cap opener from Griesedieck Bros.brewery in St. Louis , a light lager. The brewery shipped a lot by train. In the Ault Haus in Ohio the thing to do for fun was to slip the water soaked lable off the bottle by hand and flip it to the celing. The celing got well covered over time. Funny how some things never get forgotten.
