Hi,
Hope you can help me with a new quest, I am searching for a recipe to make
pickles like the Rainbo Brand Hot Garlic Dills that were available many
years ago. They had cauliflower, pearl onions, hot peppers and garlic in
them along with the pickles. Dean Foods now manufacture the Rainbo line but
no longer make these.
I would appreciate any help you could give in this attempt to bring back a
childhood memory.
Thank  You.
Pat 

p.s. I am still searching for a recipe to duplicate the Milk Shake Candy
Bar, any suggestions?

Hi Pat,

I could not find a recipe exactly like the Rainbo Hot Garlic Dills. However, see below. If you sort of combine these two recipes, you'll come close. Just follow the hot garlic dill pickles recipe but instead of all cucumbers, add the cauliflower and onions. No problem.

Still no ideas on the malted milk candy bar. Sorry

Mississippi Mud Cake

  Would like to know anything you can tell me about the history, not 
  recipe, of Mississippi Mudcake Thanks from Down Under

Hello Dannae,

Mississippi Mud Cake, which is also sometimes called Mississippi Mud Pie, is of fairly recent origin, or at least it was confined to a very small area until after 1980. Sometimes a recipe will stay within a family or a small ethnic group for years before it is "discovered" by society at large. I grew up in Mississippi, but I never heard of this dessert until I was in my thirties.

Mississippi mud pie/cake got its name because it's supposed to look like the thick mud along the banks of the Mississippi River.
See the food history website for more information.

  Hi,
  I hope that you can help me out with this. I need a rigatoni recipe 
  for 100 people and can only find them in 4 to 8 servings. I would 
  like to use Italian sausage and mozzarella cheese. Can you upscale 
  a recipe for me? I would much appreciate your help. 
  Thank you,
  Jeanette

Hi Jeanette,

Scaling a recipe for ten to feed 100 is beyond my ken. These sites have a lot of information and recipes for feeding crowds, including how to up-scale recipes. Maybe they'll be of some help.
