I don't like the low sodium version at all. I bought it by mistake once,
and ended up pouring it down the drain. I also like either lemon or lime
and Worcestershire. I've bought the "plus calcium" and can't tell any
differencs, but then, I can't detect the calcium added to orange juice
either. I don't care for any store brand I've tried, and I really dislike
any of the juices made from concentrate. I usually buy Florida's Natural,
but I only buy it if it's on sale or "buy one get one free".

I'd sooner you put in the eggplant and left out the zuchinni! :-) I have
never really liked zuchini and I never buy it. The closest I've come to
enjoying it was in a zuchini chocolate cake. :-) I don't understand why I
don't like it since it's so similar to hellow summer squash, which I love.

I used to make "ratatouille" perhaps every other month (not the soup), but
for some reason quit making it. Well I know why, actually. I like it but
David wouldn't even look at it.
