Subject: Recipe request, please
Hello,
I had a salad dressing on a mandarin orange salad while out in California,
this past July, that was absolutely fantastic!
It was called Marstons' San Pasqual Salad dressing and I would love to
have a recipe that was close to if not exactly like it. It was, seriously,
the best I've ever tasted!
As far as I can tell, there's sugar or corn syrup maybe, oil, garlic, onion,
a sweet cider(?, maybe some Worcestershire and I think some tamarind, too...
I've not been able to duplicate it and was hoping you could help.
Thank you,
Pam
Hi Pam,
You can buy the real thing by mail. See:
Marston Products
I only found one attempt at a copycat. See below:
Phaed
Marston's Salad Dressing (Clone)
2/3 cup cider vinegar
3/4 cup flax seed oil
1.5 generous tbsp white sugar
1/4 red onion, diced very fine

salt and pepper to taste
Whisk together and toss salad with fresh tarragon, poached chicken, and mandarin oranges.

WOW!
You ROCK! Thank you!!
I think I can tweak that to make it close to perfect and I'll let you know
if I come up with the absolute best clone!
I would love to be able to afford the cost of the real thing but with a 6 bottle
minimum purchase and in this economy .... Well, enough said!
Thank you again from a LONG TIME (since 2003, I think) FAN!

Marston's Salad Dressing (Clone)
Dear Sir:
I saw the one recipe you were able to come up with. They left out a couple of important ingredients.
Here is my recipe:
1 c. corn oil (or any other oil)
1/2 c. cider vinegar
1 tbsp. Stevia or 2 tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. crushed garlic (can use kind in jar)
2 tbsp. minced onion or 1 tsp. onion powder
1 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
S & P to taste
1 tsp. Spike Veg-Sal (most grocery stores have this seasoning)
1 tsp. Anchovy Paste
I copied each ingredient from the label and just had to decide the amounts of each.
The other recipe you have does not have the last two ingredients.
Cordially,
Rhoda

Phaedrus, I am hoping that you could shed some light on an old recipe
(50 years old) that my mom made when I was a child: The recipe for
chicken fricassee and baby meatballs.
The main ingredients are chicken wings, chopped meat, string beans,
onions and carrots. The sauce was brown (did not include any milk products)
Thanks, Phyllis
Hello Phyllis,
This seems to be a popular Jewish recipe. There are dozens of versions of the dish.
The closest one that I found to your description is here:

Subject: Magic Cake
Searching for Magic Cake recipe, probably from the late 60's or early 70's.
Made frosting first - contained, I believe, butter, cream cheese, and powdered
sugar, boiling???? water. You then reserved about half to top the cake later,
and used rest of frosting to make the cake batter. Contained, I think, more
butter or oil, buttermilk, eggs, salt, baking soda? and flour. This was one
of my children's favorite cakes, and I rather liked the ease of preparation.
Once you got the cake baked and cooled, you had the frosting ready. Every
heard of this one??? Thanks, Vivian
PS I enjoy your site very much --- have replaced several recipes I had really
lost, plus quite a few I didn't have to have lost!!!
Hi Vivian,
