Chicken Salad sandwich--why so hard to find a good one?

Because mama didn't make it and everybody knows no one makes chicken salad like mama!
I used to be impressed with their produce but quality has dropped drastically the past couple years. I no longer go to Aldi.

Well, I gave Sysco Jackson a good old fashioned phone call. They don't answer the customer service line. Then I asked via Twitter...no reply. So if anyone knows anywhere close to Meridian, I'd still like to know.

My bet is on the dirt dauber.
Thanks for the info! I'll give them a call, come Monday. Surely someone close sells one or the other..
Does anyone know where to (or if you can) get Leidenheimer or Reising's baguettes close to Meridian Ms.?
I remember a few years back when Peter pan has their recall... The empty spots on the walmart shelf was Peter Pan and Great Value.

Drive over to Florence and check out stanfields river bottom grill in McFarland Park. It's a floating restaurant/bar. While you're over that way, you can see FAME recording studio, WC Handy birthplace, Helen Keller birthplace, and muscle shoals sound studio. A lot of history in the shoals!
Making a roux will carbonize oil and flour to the surface that will fill in the tiny voids.
I've always used plain old vegetable oil. Heat the cast iron in a warming oven that is preheating to 425-450. Take it out and wipe down (inside and out) then wipe it off like you never wanted it on there. Put it in the preheated oven for an hour or longer. Let it cool in the turned off oven. Repeat. Maybe even repeat again. The next time I go through the re-seasoning process, I'm gonna have a bottle of flaxseed oil. It's expensive but I won't use it for anything else and this technique doesn't use much so it should last forever.
Hey buddy. Honestly, you can go buy an Ozark Trail brand from Wal-Mart being kind of picky to get the least rough one they got (just to save a little work). Sand it with a palm sander to knock down the roughest peaks and a lot of the factory seasoning (you don't have to get it smooth as glass). Wash and re-season a few times then make a roux in it. You'll be good to go. It won't be a collector's piece but will be a great "user". As good as any... Unless you want to buy made in USA. If that's the case, get a Lodge. You'll still need to sand and re-season tho
