| the original Tasty Foods |
The rib joint on Decarie sat where Tasty Foods is now installed and was popular in the 80s.
Indeed the place was so popular that they even sold their own labelled goods, such as salad dressing with their logo and name on it.
One friend of Coolopolis, named Larry, enjoyed that salad dressing so much that he has been searching for its recipe ever since it closed. Apparently it was tomato-ey with sesame seeds and so forth.
He has asked me to see if anybody could put him on the right path to finding the secret to this treasured concoction. Anybody?
I remember Rib Tickler dressing! it was available in the grocery stores and I would buy it whenever it was available. I LOVED it and still think of it, but have never been able to find it since Rib tickler closed up.

ReplyDeleteA business called Rib Tickler at 705 Ste-Catherine West...
Have you been able to track down this recipe since your post? I think about this dressing all the time and would love to get the recipe somehow.

I can’t believe this. I’ve been looking for their bbq sauce recipe for the same amount of time and I finally able to come 90% close to it. I was obsessed with it. And I think I remember the salad dressing - was it like water down version of he bbq. Lol
ReplyDeleteBy the way, if memory serves me right, they may have had two locations but one was on the right side of Decarie as you were driving toward captain Quebec. Not where tasty food was but they may have moved.
ReplyDeleteHmm... I don't remember them having two locations - I only remember the one. It was on the opposite side of Decarie as Orange Julep. I'd still love to find this recipe, although I've never tried to recreate it - I wouldn't know where to start. Man I miss that stuff! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to remember the name of this place for years. It was on the West side of Decarie. I think it was somewhere between Van Horne & Queen Mary but that's about the best I could narrow it down to. I remember how big the ribs where and we would buy the BBQ sauce and salad dressing. Nothing like it now!
ReplyDeleteThis is an old post but the Rib Tickler salad dressing is back! The original recipe was found last week and I am making it. Had 10 people try it and they say it is as good as they remember it. Message me for more info: stevenmitch145@gmail.com
