Yeah. Maybe if they can't spell, they can't cook either? Not always
true, but when I don't spell it correctly, and I get 16,800 hits, I'm
suspicious. Then I look at the recipes. Many are just garbage.

There's a recent poster on this group who boasts about how many recipes
he has. He posts them sometimes. He hasn't tried them. Some don't
look too good.

Perhaps "embrochette" is a real deal, in a limited way, in some limited
locale. But cybercat doesn't have a good reputation on this group for
having good information about food. I'm not even going to check it out.
