I actually was watching "Little Girl Who" and checked on this, lol. He fixed her a chili dog, but she shook her head noooo when he gave it to her. She was still carrying it with her, uneaten, when he handed her over to Higgins and she got rid of it by giving it to him.K Hale wrote:It seems like he may have made plain hot dogs for Lily? but I'm pretty sure he always put chili on his own.

I didn't realize you were so addicted to pool.
It's not pool.
Billiards.
Snooker!
Snucker.

Re: Fig Newtons and Milk
Same here! I used to eat fig Newtons all the time then they just faded away. I will still pick them up from time to time, hoping I will like them again, but it's not the same.T.Q. wrote:When I was a kid I used to get my mom to buy fig newtons.
Used to dunk ‘em in milk and pretend I was on a case.
Still think of Magnum when I see fig newtons.
Any food or drink reminds you of Magnum P.I.?
Chili dog? Terrifies me.
Pickled egg? I'm with Thomas on that, eww!
Macho Taco? Now we're talking!

Knocking my rubber chicken or my sloppy habits is within the rules, but you're attacking my character. I would like to think you don't mean that.
Re: Fig Newtons and Milk
Love a good chili dog. I’m not sure but I don’t think I’ve ever had Fig Newtons. Pickled eggs, none for me. Macho Tacos bring em on.
When I finally get MPI on Blu-ray I think I’ll celebrate and have chili dogs with Fig Newtons for dessert, tacos on the next night.

Re: Fig Newtons and Milk
I don't know about the white pickled eggs on the show, but there's a local bar a few blocks from me here in Long Beach that has great pickled eggs. I got the recipe from a friend of a friend years ago and it has turmeric so they are yellow. They also have a little heat because banana peppers go into the jar. I've made them several times and all my friends who would try them, liked them a lot. I even get requests for them sometimes!T.Q. wrote:You all are pickledeggphobic.Nikita70 wrote:Love a good chili dog. I’m not sure but I don’t think I’ve ever had Fig Newtons.

The place is called Joe Jost's and it's been around since the 1920's, starting as a barber shop with illegal booze sales in back during the Prohibition era. It's just a bar today but they have a barber chair in back by the pool tables and shuffleboard table. The classic order is a one, one, and one. It's a Joe's special, which is a split Polish sausage with a dill pickle in it on rye with mustard and Swiss, a pickled egg with pretzel sticks, and a beer. They had old-school Pabst Blue Ribbon on tap until recently.
They're locally famous, and by that I mean all of SoCal. I was in Las Vegas years ago and a guy yelled across the casino "Joe Jost's!" when he saw me wearing one of their shirt. LOL! The bar has photos on the wall of people all over the planet wearing their navy shirts. It's fun to see all the places.

Philippe's in LA, which is even older, has red pickled eggs colored with beet juice that are also pretty good. They created the French dip sandwich.

Makes it worse the giant jar I chose takes up a quarter top shelf of the fridge.

The Woman on the Beach.
Magnum eats a bowl of hard boiled eggs.
I forgot about this one.
It also influenced me to have hard boiled eggs in the fridge and a salt shaker handy for when I crack a few.

Re: Fig Newtons and Milk
I don't drink milk anymore, not because I'm allergic, but because I find that it doesn't agree with me as much as it once did.
But...
I have recently started buying and having my wife buy Fig Newtons (or something similar like Fig Newmans, or Trader Joe's version that is called "Fig Bites").
Fig Newtons are now my go to snack, and sitting in front of me is one unopened package of Fig Bites, and a second package that has been partially consumed, with the rest relocated to a Ziploc bag. Hey, at least it includes real fruit, right?

Re: Fig Newtons and Milk
In Ireland this type of fig biscuit has been around since my childhood. Typically here they have always been known as fig rolls. Whenever I went to the cinema as a kid (late '60's , early '70's) I would bring along a packet of Jacob's Figrolls and a pint bottle of milk. Traditionally they have always been made here by an Irish company "Jacob's Biscuits" founded in County Waterford in 1851. They still make them to this day. Despite the fact that many supermarkets now sell their "own label" fig rolls, Jacob's are still the best ! It always strikes a favourable chord with me when Magnum sits down on the couch to snack on the Fig Newtons and milk.
I'd like to share a funny TV advert for Jacob's Fig Rolls I recall seeing as a kid and found on youtube. Hope you like it..........https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11ZwOhmpWZk
