Lawry's still makes a spice
that goes down very nice
when you're roasting your hotdogs and weenies;
but the end of an age
fanned their customers' rage,
for alas, they've stopped making Spatini!






---------------------

It was the magic touch in Ratette's spaghetti sauce -- and her mother's.....they've probably made the stuff for a century, but now no more -- 'twas a black day for spaghetti lovers!

Oh yeah -- if ya wanna pay fifty bucks for a package that makes three batches of spaghetti! Still, I just might bid on 'em.....

We haven't been able to get it since we moved from the east coast in the mid-1970's, so part of a vacation was always to stock up on Spatini...simple stuff, just a packet of seasonings, but it was a guarantee that your italian cooking would be perfect. Lately we've ordered it by the case -- which is how we discovered it was discontinued, by running out and going to order a new supply.... so it's ALL GONE! AAAUGH!

I LOVED this!  I think the word I'm looking for is 'droll' .  Very nicely done.

Awwwww... I don't know whether to laugh or cry! *S* Or maybe... sign a petition? LOL

I'm sorry for your loss... but love the wit with which you wrote of it! *S*
