I think that's good idea. The Safeway cola I used didn't speak out very
much on the palate in this dish. I drink and cook with Safeway diet cola,
mainly because that's what San Francisco Columnist Herb Caen drank when he
could no longer get Royal Crown. I think a slightly more assertive cola
flavor would be interesting to try. You wouldn't want, however, the cola
flavor to dominate the dish.
