Not into the cold cut/potato salad meals, but instead would like something creative and unique.

Mustard in little packages, though, and (at least last year) no onions. Mon Jun 09 17:40:45 -0700 2003 281211 0 TomSwift 1 281421 Oops, forgot. Call the Bistro Garden at Coldwater and have them fax you a menu for BG To Go. They are varied and pretty creative. Mon Jun 09 17:43:31 -0700 2003 281211 0 TomSwift
