Hi Christine,
I don't think so, at least not officially. The entire score of "Duel in the Sun"
was composed by Dimitri Tiomkin. I can find no evidence that the same music,
including the theme, was ever used as the theme of another movie or a TV show.
However, Tiomkin was very popular and prolific as a composer of scores for movies
and TV. He composed the music for "High Noon" and for TV's "Rawhide", among dozens
of other movies and TV programs, many of which were westerns. Composers, like
writers, sometimes re-use parts of themes in their music, and pieces by the same
composer often sound similar.
"Range Rider's" theme was variations of "Home on the Range". I could not find
anything about "Wild Bill Hickok's" theme music.

Hello Anita,
No luck with the lunchroom recipe. Doesn't appear to be on the Internet. There's
another one below.

Jamaican Beef Patty
Ingredients:
Below is a delicious recipe for Jamaican Beef Patties:
Pastry
2 cups Flour
1/4 teaspoon Salt
1/2 tablespoon curry powder
1/4 cup Solid shortening
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) margarine
1/3 cup Cold water
Sift the flour, curry powder and salt into a large bowl. Cut in the shortening and
margarine until crumbly. Add the cold water to make a stiff dough. Lightly flour a
wooden cutting board and roll out the dough until about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out
8-inch circles. Cover with wax paper or damp cloth until ready to use. You can place
the dough in the refrigerator overnight. If you do refrigerate, remove the dough at
least 15 minutes before using.
Meat Filling
2 tablespoon oil
1 Small white onion, Finely chopped
1/4 teaspoon Chopped Scotch Bonnet pepper
1/2 lb. Lean ground beef
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon Curry powder
1/2 teaspoon Dried thyme
1/4 cup Breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Beef or chicken stock
1 Egg, beaten
1/4 cup Water
In a heavy skillet, melt the margarine and sauté the onion and Scotch Bonnet Pepper
until they become limp. Add the ground beef, salt, pepper, curry powder and thyme and
mix well. Brown the meat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the breadcrumbs and stock and combine all the ingredients well. Cover the skillet
and simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. When all the liquids
have been absorbed, the filling is ready. It should be moist but not watery. Remove
the skillet from the stove and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Uncover the dough circles and place 2 to 3 tablespoons of filling on half of each.
Moisten the edges of the dough with water and fold the dough circle over the meat
filling. Pinch the edges closed with a fork. Lightly brush the pastry with a mixture
of the egg and water. Bake on a lightly greased baking sheet for 30 to 40 minutes or
until the pastry are golden brown.
Serves: 10 Patties

Hello Kaye,
We had Dog 'N Suds in Mississippi for a while, too. They're still in business, but
perhaps they had to downsize. Their home office is in Lafayette, Indiana.
Below is a copycat recipe for their coney sauce.

Hello Sandi,
Well, you can eat it out of the can, but perhaps that is not
the best use of it. The jackfruit is a relative of the breadfruit and is very
popular in Indian cuisine. It's certainly eaten out-of-hand in Southern India,
but if you've never eaten it before, you might not like it by itself. It seems
to be an acquired taste. Better to use your canned jackfruit in a curry or
other dish. See these sites for recipes:
