>But for kevnbro, here are some other RFC minefields: "Authentic" Chili,
barbecue (especially as a misnomer for grilling and NEVER involving
parboiling, crockpots, or liquid smoke), Philly cheese steak, bagels,
anything with the word "alfredo", mushroom soup (especially as used in
green
bean casserole), Nieman Marcus cookies, Caesar salad, the merits of
vegetarianism, bad children with bad parents, "authentic" Reuben
sandwiches,
the appropriate amount to tip, whether it's okay for cheese or
mushrooms to
accompany seafood, cottage cheese in lasagna, "authentic" stroganoff,
and
skate wings masquerading as scallops. Oh, and if you mention beets,
some
people saw "Ewww!"
Thanks Bob... i've made note, etched in stone and plastered your list
on my forehead for future reference. If and when I decide to no longer
frequent this group, i'll post a recipe for all of the aforementioned
topics with Ketchup as one of the key ingredients in each. (including
the merits of ketchup and parenting, ketchup and vegetarianism and
"Ketchup: A must for the perfect BBQ") Kev
