We always took it camping and fried it for breakfast like you would ham
or bacon. I think the recipe must have changed over the years, because
it doesn't taste the same now as it used to.

I think you're right Melinda. It's not something I would buy now, much less
eat.

Sigh! Nothing tastes the same as it used to. I think that it is us. :-

Maybe so, but I still think they changed the recipe some time over the
last 30-40 years.

no, it's not. corporate recipes have changed a lot over the
years, mostly to their detriment.
high fructose corn syrup has replaced sugar (get some Kosher
Coke & compare it to common Coke. there's a big difference!)
breakfast cereals are almost all sweetened (including Kix &
Cheerios)
manufacturers are always looking for cheaper & well, cheaper
doesn't taste as good (usually because it's *not* as good).
i could go into a huge diatribe about manufactured food, but
i'll behave unless people want to know...
one thing i do have to say though, is do NOT buy prepackaged
meat (such as Wal-Mart sells). it is pumped full of CO2 (and
frequently up to 12% saline solution to look moist) to make it
look good for up to 28 days! it can be spoiled but look "fresh
cut". meat should not have a 'shelf life'.
if you have salt intake restrictions or are trying to avoid
salt, the saline injected meat has almost 500 milligrams per 3
oz. serving.

Some things taste the same, though. Arrowroot biscuits are still
delicious.

Which is why I don't eat it at all.

At least here in NYC, you don't get sugar in Coke unless it's Kosher
for Passover Coke (not just Kosher Coke) (only available around
Passover.) I do know that some people stock up at that time!
