I wasn't referring to you, kili. I meant Victor and Wayne. I respect bith
and felt sad that they're arguing over what might simply be a
misunderstanding.

I'm happy you posted the recipe. I'd never seen a recipe for potato salad
using bacon before. Only the kunds described by Victor

When I lived in Germany, there was a lot of debate about "right" recipes for
potato salad. Most centered around the dressing (cream mayo style vs oil +
vinegaror broth). And around whether to serve them warm (the oil salads) or
cold (mayo style). The subject of north and south always came up. People
anjoyed the debate. They always knew which argumetns wre going to be used,
but they repeated them anyways. Liek a ritual

So I figure potato salad and right recieps are importatnt in Germany.
