KILLER SHRIMP

   I was walking by J.D.'s on East 52nd Street when I looked at the menu and saw today's special:  KILLER SHRIMP.
   Just what we need.  There are snipers on the loose, and now I've got to worry about killer shrimp.
   Google has 778 "killer shrimp" hits.  (Maybe I shouldn't say "hits.")  The Dow Jones database has 115 "killer shrimp" hits.  The first is "You hear the one about the attack of the killer shrimp?"--Tall Fish Tales, in the LOS ANGELES TIMES, 3-22-1987.
   The thing we're looking for, though, is on the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office database.  "Killer Shrimp" has a first use of 27 April 1988, at Marina Del Rey, CA.
   This is from the LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS, 28 February 1993, pg. L7 (Dow Jones database):

Killer due:  Marina del Rey's popular Killer Shrimp is coming to the San Fernando Valley. (...)  Boiled shrimp are offered with bread, pasta or rice and the so-called "killer" sauce.

ZUNI BREAD (continued)

   John Mariani's ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOOD & DRINK lists "zwieback," so "Zuni bread" probably won't be last in the OXFORD ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN FOOD.
   Here's a recipe, anyway.  I hope DARE is interested.
