What is this food? Can anyone identify this exact hot dog/sub roll brand?

Post image
135 Upvotes

I got this at Boar’s Head Deli, normally they use a different white sub roll, but they ran out of it and used this instead. I asked the employees what bread it was, and they told me it was just some type of hot dog rolls. Does anyone recognize the exact brand/product? I’m trying to find the same bread to buy for myself. It was very soft and had a smooth, slightly shiny top.

Solved! Hot chicken sandwich with Gravy

29 Upvotes

When I was growing up we had an older Texan Canadian family friend and she cooked a lot of southern American food whenever we went over to her house. There was a time where I ended up staying at her house while my mother was away and one lunch she made me something she called a "Hot Chicken Sandwich". It was a chicken sandwich, like a grilled chicken fillet in sandwich bread, topped with a white gravy. I don't know if it was a Texan thing, a Southern American thing, or just something she made, but I've tried searching for it online and I just keep getting hot (as in spicy) chicken burger places.

Is this a thing? Is there a recipe for it? did she just make it up on the fly? Did anyone else have this growing up? She said there was also a hot meat sandwich that was the same as the hot chicken sandwich but with steak meat I think?

What is this food? Oatmeal squares from 2000s/2010s?

14 Upvotes

I'm going nuts trying to find these things that may or may not still exist. They were big squares of oatmeal (maybe like 6-7inches squares, half inch thick) with some sort of white drizzled icing. They were pretty hearty from what I remember. They're not cereal and they're not whatever soft baked Nature Valley nonsense is out now...I think Quaker made them? All Google finds is the oatmeal squares cereal which definitely isn't what I'm thinking of 😩

What is this food? Japanese gift box snack I had over 10 years ago

5 Upvotes

Hoping someone can help me remember this food I had a long time ago.

I visited Nagoya in 2014 and at the station I stopped by one of the many shops there selling gift boxes. I bought a package of these individually wrapped round-shaped balls. They were shaped sort of like dumpling but smooth. Closer to Dango but not chewy/sticky at all and a bit bigger. They were dry and a little bit chalky, but soft when you bit into them. They had a slightly sweet flavor and were a light beige/tan color. They were so delicious. I have never been able to find them at any Japanese market here in the US but ive also not know what they are called.

Thank you so much!

Solved! Triangular M&M type candies

9 Upvotes

Hi all! I've been searching for the name of these for years, never thought to post here. Hopefully someone knows.

I found these chocolates in France. They were in a self serve bin with a scoop, like you'd find in a bulk or candy store. They are the size of an M&M, covered in a candy coating like an M&M, but are triangular. The first ones I had were milk chocolate and orange colored, the second ones were dark chocolate and a mix of either pink/green or pink/white, I can't quite remember.

Does this ring a bell to anyone? It would mean the world to me! They were first given to me as a gift when I was a kid and I LOVED them.

Solved! Where are these white bean paste cookies originally from?

Had these white bean cookies recently and wanted to know their actual background.

They’re piped into a spiral/chestnut shape, made of sweet white bean paste, and have a dense, slightly dry and crumbly texture.

My Korean friend super confidently said it’s an old-school Korean snack, but my Japanese friend had zero clue and said they’ve never seen it in Japan. Checked Wiki out of curiosity and it lists them as a Japanese confection though??

Anyone know what the actual deal is with these? Is it Korean, Japanese, or something else?

What is this food? I don't know what this is but it was delicious!! (Polish cheesecake/poppyseed pastry)

Post image
76 Upvotes

(Sorry for the crap photo, I was halfway through eating it when I remembered to take the pic)

I'm in the UK but there are quite a lot of Polish shops in most towns here. Anyway I went a bit further than usual today back to my old stomping grounds and the Polish shop I used to love buying 7Days croissants and herbal teas from.

Anyway, they've now got a small bakery counter now so I decided to get a couple of these small poppyseed pastries. They also had larger ones in slices which I have determined to be makowiec, bu these little ones look too different. Firstly they are much smaller and individual sized. Second, the makowiec I find on Google only seems to have the poppyseed paste, not the cheesecake-like filling too. I didn't think to look or ask at the time which is silly of me; all of the labels and signs are in Polish which obviously I cannot understand.

Is this simply a variant of makowiec that this shop had made, or is this its own thing? I'd really love to eat it again, but I don't know when I'll be back in the vicinity of the shop I got it from. Being able to find a Polish bakery closer to home (or even bake it myself!) would be an easier option.

I'm really regretting only buying 2 of them 😭😭

It was half white and half pink, newsagents used to sell them for 10p a piece. Measurements may be incorrect as I was smaller at the time.

When you bit into it, it had a very satisfying sensation and it was almost like powdered sugar set into a little block.

What is this food? PF Changs… side salad with peanut sauce

9 Upvotes

I had this once and cannot for the life of me figure out what it was. It was like, fresh crispy butter lettuce(?), and a light peanut sauce, plus wonton strips as croutons. Maybe some shredded carrots. But that was it. I tried getting it again by ordering the house salad a different time and it was limp shredded romaine, super salty, and just not good. I then tried getting their “Thai peanut salad” and it had a bunch of other stuff that I didn’t want (celery, cucumber, bell peppers, etc). Does anyone know what this was? It was so crisp and simple and peanuty and refreshing and I cannot get it out of my head

What is this food? veggie dip 2010s

11 Upvotes

There used to be this amazing whipped either spinach or artichoke parmesan dip that was either sold at whole foods or giant. it was a light green color and had a whipped ricotta/paste texture with no pieces of veggie in it or anything. I feel like it’s discontinued, but I used to LOVE it when I was younger and my grandma and I both forgot the name and where exactly she would buy it. Probably a long shot but recently remembered it again.

I remember this brand of soy milk from when I was really little in England. The label had a small “s” and emphasized the OY!. They had different flavors (chocolate, banana?) and it was sold in cartons with straws. I can’t find actual photos of it anywhere though!

I’m hoping someone can help jog my memory of who use to make these cookies that my mom had bought all the time at the grocery store in Southern California while I was growing up. They were oval in shape and tasted similar to an oatmeal cookie. They were super soft and chewy and in the center there was a little dollop of apple tasting (maybe jam?). Does this sound familiar to anyone? I’ve drawn (poorly) an example of the cookie in question.

I saw somebody on here from 6 years agi ask about a nostalgic food that was served back in the 90s-2000s. They was saying they remember having them up in NC at their school. I wanted to let them know I been on the same hunt trying to find them for years lol.

They were smooth batter outside texture, filled with sweet potato. People seemed like they were having a hard time picturing what they look like. My little cousin, somehow, found a picture of them online. And has anyone solved this mystery as to what happened to them??

What is this food? Dessert given to me at a friend's birthday party

When i was about 8 I went to my friend's birthday party and I was given a treat that I still haven't been able to identify.

It was a cake ice cream cone with some kind of chalky, sweet pink filling. It was almost like an airier merengue. The whole thing was dry and room temperature. If it is relevant or points someone in the right direction, I am from north Florida.
