Subject: Ted's Montana Grill Pickles
I would love to have the recipe for the pickles they serve at 'Ted's Montana
Grill. They are really different. Sorry about the goof of not putting in my
name on my last e mail. Thanks, Lori
Hi Lori,
These pickles are of a type known as "half-sour pickles". I had no success looking for a recipe
for the Ted's pickles. You see, Ted's Montana Grill does not make these pickles, they buy them.
I found this e-mail on a message board. It's from a Ted's Montana Grill representative:
"Thanks so much for your e-mail. Unfortunately, we are unable to release the "Half Sour" pickle
recipe as it is an old family secret recipe. However, I will tell you that Ted's Montana Grill
purchases the pickles in 5 gallon buckets from United Pickle (company in the Bronx , NY). The
contact person for United Pickles is Marvin Weishaus and he can be reached at (718) 933-6060."
More Contact info:

email: picklebiz@aol.com
Sunshine Fresh Pickles may also have sold these pickles to some Ted's locations:
It would do little good to have the recipe that United Pickle Company uses, because commercial
pickle companies make pickles in 50 to 100 gallon batches using commercial ingredients. What you
really want is a "copycat recipe" for making small quantities at home. Alas, I had no success
finding one. I do have some "half sour" pickle recipes on my site that you can try. They're at:
Sour & Half-Sour Pickles

Dear Phaedrus,
Thank you for passing my information along to inquirers seeking half sour pickles similar to the
ones I sell to Ted's Montana Grill.
I did want to inform you that my correct email address is mweishaus@unitedpickle.com. The email
picklebiz@aol.com is not a good way to get me. Also, Sunshine Fresh is no longer in business.
Thank you again.

-------------------------------------
Just to let you and your readers know, Sunshine Fresh Pickles is still very much in business.
The company no longer manufactures on the east cost. Sunshine Fresh Nevada LLC is located in
North Las Vegas Nevada.
Its that Half Sour Pickle that some of your readers looked for.They still manufacture kosher
OU certified products and make the best Half Sour pickle in the world. Other pickle companies
on the east coast claim they have a secret family recipe or they are the manufacturer for your
favorite restaurant or they are still making Sunshine pickles recipe; and the claims goes on!
The fact that people are still looking for that "Special" taste means they haven't yet found it.
Be assured it is still being made and is the preferred pickle of the most pampered chefs in the
desert and growing to areas beyond.
As for the recipe its as simple as 1, 2. 3. A little salt, a little spice, some fresh garlic
and the freshest pickling cucumbers you can find. (Did you actually think I would give you the
secret?)
To contact Sunshine Fresh: 702-838-4698 Tim (Timmy) Santora is the General Manager and head
"Pickle-ologist" for over 30 years. Enjoy!

Subject: seafood torte with caviar design on top
Thank you for looking into this. I never imagined such a website existed.
I have been looking for a recipe I found in a magazine about 20 years ago or so. I only
made this recipe once and I can remember some of the ingredients but I have been unable to
find a similar recipe on the Internet.
Here it goes:
Multi layered seafood torte starting with minced shrimp - egg- mayo plus other ingredients
on bottom layer, middle layer had chopped green onions but cant remember the rest, somewhere
in there, there was crab meat and bacon bits, cream cheese, possibly some other type of cheese
and finally topped with three diff types (colors) of caviar in pinwheel type of design (similar
to romanoff caviar torte recipe shown on jar)
I know this sounds very vague but I thought I would give it a try because it was the best
thing that I have ever made but somehow I lost the recipe.
Thanks so much,
sincerely,
Maria
Hello Maria,
I wish that I could help, but I cannot locate a recipe fitting that description. Sorry.

A whole cookbook of trying times tight budget recipes. Apparently this used to be a website.
The website seems to be gone, but the cookbook can be downloaded as a *.pdf file:.
"The CheapMeals.Com Cookbook" by Steve Rhode & Mike Kidwell. A cookbook in *.pdf format
"...fast, cheap meals that will help you feed the family for less, and spend less time in the
kitchen. Also... '25 Tips for Eating Cheaply'...."
