That came on some form response from Google. It's to prevent SPAM, I
guess. I'm a member of the Culinary Historians of NY, a contributor to
the Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America, and a consultant
and contributor to the Oxford English Dictionary and the Dictionary of
American Regional English. I'm not coming on here to sell penis
enlargements.

As an example of stuff that I post in other places, this is a post I
made yesterday:

My web site was kindly mentioned by the editor on the FOOD HISTORY
NEWS web site, and I finally decided to subscribe to FHN. I was sent
FHN 61, with a cover story on "Roquefort French Dressing."

The first citation found was 1928.

_Roquefort Cheese Dressing.._
This is a new salad dressing and delicious. Mix roquefort cheese,
olive oil, vinegar, and paprika (have the mixture red with paprika) to
the consistency of mayonnaise. One ingredient and then another added
till the right consistency and according to the taste. Be careful and
don't have it taste too strong of wither the roquefort or the vinegar.
This transforms lettuce or water cress into a delicious salad. Make
the paste thick and fill centers of celery. Would make good
sandwiches. MARJORIE F. TAYLOR.

(PROQUEST HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS) ("Roquefort Dressing")
1. Economical Housekeeping; Winter Lettuce.
Jane Eddington. Chicago Daily Tribune (1872-1963). Chicago, Ill.: Nov
5, 1913. p. 13 (1 page) :
The following salad dressings have been given by a woman who thinks of
nothing so much as of her home.
'
THOUSAND ISLAND DRESSING.--Make a heavy creamy mayonnaise. Put some
chili sauce in a bowl; chop it with a knife so that there will be no
large pieces of tomato, and then mix this with the mayonnaise. Mrs. B.
said this could not be told from that served at the most expensive
hotels.

This is one of the numerous ways of modifying mayonnaise, but as to
what the new and popular Thousand Island dressing is, probably chefs
of today differ and often vary an idea a bit and call the products by
their own names. One of the dressings served by this name is
undoubtedly a Hollandaise fressing, which is really a hot Mayonnaise,
made by adding butter to egg, bit by bit, instead of oil, and the
chili sauce and perhaps some other additions.

The Roquefort dressings are rather popular today. Mrs. B. makes hers
as follows:

ROQUEFORT DRESSING.--Make a thick French dressing (put your seasonings
of salt and pepper or paprika in a bowl); add a little vinegar, then
stir in oil until it is thick; then rub into this Roquefort cheese
enough to form a thick paste; then thin just before serving with
whipped cream.

Our fathers and grandfathers used to eat their lettuce with sugar and
vinegar. The larger part of this world eats it with the simplest of
French dressings, but in winter the cooked dressing is good, and also
any of these thicker mixtures, which can always be thinned with cream
to advantage.
