Years back, we had a reviewer review our country style restaurant. He
didn't like the Goulash because it had a thin layer of fat on top. I
happen to like it that way. And he raved about our home made apple
pie which was not home made at all, but purchased from a frosted foods
supplier. Bake and serve. Maybe we should have served him borscht
and told him that it was a Latino specialty.
