Yeah, I hope to pick up some wild rice while I'm there. (Barb
Schaller was nice enough once to bring some with her to Margaret
Suran's and I got a bag from her. It was lovely.)

I think there are 2 kinds of pork sandwiches - in Montana they
are pork chop sandwiches and in Iowa they are pork tenderloin
sandwiches - if I have it right. Anyway, I'll have one of each.

As for mutton - blech! That's old sheep not lamb. I like very
young lamb but even older lamb is way too gamey. I wouldn't
touch mutton with a 10-foot pole. ;-)

Thanks anyway,
Kate
