Phaedrus,
Can you perform miracles? I have searched high and low for the Zuider Zee Hushpuppy recipe.
The memory of these tubes of warm goodness dipped in butter, have been tormenting as of late.
Thanks,
Laura

Hello Laura,
I had no success finding Bill Martin’s actual recipe today. It still does not appear to be available. I searched for this previously in 2012. See:
1-13-2012
Lone Star Foods sells a commercial frozen product that is said to be very similar, if not exactly the same. See:
Lonestar Foods
There is a copycat recipe here:
Zuider Zee Style Hushpuppies

Subject: Looking for Sloppy Joe recipe made at Woolworth's Lunch Counters
I would love to find the recipe for the Sloppy Joes made at the Woolworth’s Lunch Counters. Have you seen this recipe?
Thank you
Carla
Hello Carla,
In the Woolworth’s recipe manual, these are called “Barbecue Hamburgers” rather than “sloppy joes.” There is no recipe
in the manual that I have that is called “sloppy joes”. The recipe for "barbecue hamburgers" is below.
Note that these are two separate recipes, and therefore the quantities don’t match up between the two. The barbecue sauce
recipe is for 2 lbs 8 oz of sauce rather than the 1 oz of sauce called for in the Barbecue Hamburger recipe. Add to your taste.

Subject: Lost cookies
When I was a little girl my Grand mother would buy me Van De Kamps sugar cookie from the grocery store.
They were my absolute favorite.... they were similar to a shortbread cookie bit cover with crystallized
sugar granuals, they were so delicious, are they still made anywhere????
Please let me know, I would love to be taken back to my childhood
Thank you so much!! Kim
Hi Kim,
Sorry, no luck with this. When Van de Kamp’s closed, all of their recipes seem to have vanished.
I and others have been searching for this sugar cookie recipe for years, with no success.
I have a Van de Kamp’s Bakery page here: Van de Kamp's Bakery
There are links on that page to a few recipes that people have said are similar to Van de Kamp’s products,
including the “Dutch Girl” cookies. Those recipes appear to be all that is available.
