Wha'd he say? Was it about food? The Food Network? What? rj

At the risk of being called negative and mean-spirited I will offer my opinion on the Food Network's wallowing in candies, cakes, ice creams, i.e., anything sweet that they can make into a weekly show. Even their best chefs and programs have been saturated by this. I see this as this as another step in their downhill slide into mediocrity. Do you have an opinion?

Can anyone tell me where to find organic or free range Kool Ade? Thanks rj

Sunny and Maher, Thanks for the advice. This should make it a great dinner. rj

I would like to invest in king crab legs for a group of friends, and I need to know how much to get for a moderate serving. The crab will be the entree. In my area there is no help available. Thanks rj

Free-range pancakes and organic molasses with a local farmer's fresh butter. Rain Forest Costa Rican coffee. Delicious!

I never go out without my lot of dining helmets. Formal, uptown, bistro, mom and pop diner. You can never tell for sure what headgear you might need.

British Thermal Units (BTUs) are owned by the British. They receive royalties on every one we use. I would only use grills, etc., that use ATUs or don't specify any ownership at all. This could save on your price and the balance of trade.

My favorite restaurant meals of the past year: 1) The Bantam Chef (Walhalla, SC) 2) Subway, (Walhalla, SC) 3) Rancho Nuevo, (Walhalla, SC) 4) The Steakhouse Buffet, (Walhalla, SC) 5) Paesanos (Seneca, SC) Sorry, I've run out of favorites.

Some folks will eat ANYTHING. Even raw horses when they are not even starving.

Some abominable "foods": Snails! Anything that has suckers on its legs Any part of a duck that is still bloody rj

It appears that the one pound per US citizen is fully represented on this thread. There are several "foods" that Americans generally are not fond of including squid, octopus, duck, etc. Why do you think that is?

I was in London in a very nice hotel in their beautifully appointed, nicely equipped bar. I asked the nice, seemingly competent bartenderette for a dry martini, straight up. She brought me a glass of Martini and Rossi dry vermouth.

I sincerely hope that eating raw chicken is dangerous. I'm much more afraid of people who want to eat it raw than the chicken itself. rj

I think eggs are great, in any of their preparations. If you are also fond of them, please tell me how you like them, and if it is unusual, please relate how they are prepared.

Organic gin?? How about some free-range Single Malt Scotch?

Don't call this a Martini.

Are there any euphemisms for nutria? I thought that there had been some campaign to encourange eating of these creatures in LA. ← I would suggest Nutrimari.

SQUID Put it on the menu as Calamari and folks will scarf it up as though it's edible.

I have kept it refrigerated for a couple of weeks with no problems. rj

Martinis don't come from vodka, and bacon doesn't come from turkeys.

May the Lord bless you who can't buy Duke's at his local grocery, and educate those who don't know what they are missing.

Some pastas are made in America. I like Muellers.
