If you really want, simply, potatoes, you can find them in the produce department of any supermarket. But if you don’t like peeling and chopping, I guess Michael Foods’ Simply Potatoes, which promise “fresh, never frozen potatoes and real ingredients” are the next best thing. And several readers have found them for Helen Arnold, who said she used to get them at Smith’s.
My, how suburban-mall restaurants have changed over the years.
Every deli offers an Italian sub, but Taste of the Town readers offer their suggestions for the best.

Taste of the Town readers crave cabbage rolls. So, reader Beverly R. Villeneuve sent in this recipe for unrolled cabbage rolls.
When we moved the Taste of the Town column inside the section, one thing we added was that I’d respond to recipe searches. I’ve found a few, but lately haven’t gotten any requests from readers.
Ah, the vagaries of the corporate world and the still-struggling economy.

Hot dogs of one brand or another are without doubt one of the most popular items sought by Taste of the Town readers over the years. It’s either a case of the things we eat during the early part of our lives influencing our tastes, a yearning for the tastes of happier times or a combination of both. (Although I have to say I never get a craving for Kahn’s, “the wiener the world awaited.” The company, now owned by Sara Lee Corp., uses “The taste you’ve always loved,” and I think they’re on to something.)
