LOL! I took pity on David years ago when I was convinced he couldn't boil
water. I've learned to tailor recipes and foods to preferences, and once I
got in the habit of double-cooking, it wasn't all that hard. There are
also many meals we eat in common (either all of part of).

You're right. We call them "appetizers" more and more these days,
although the term "hors d'oeuvres" is still used occasionally in my
circle of friends.

Most were in their 20-30's, though one woman (admittedly country) was in
her 40's.
They knew "vegetable platter" but not the term crudite'

I like the term "starters" when at a restaurant. "Appetizers" for me
actually means "de-appetizer" as I usually get filled up by them so it
isn't as if it is doing the job of perking up my appetite.... lol

But neither 'appetizers' nor 'hors d'aeuvres' means what 'crudités'
does. Why not use the more specific term to say what you really
mean? If that occasionally causes a young'un to learn a new word, how
bad is that? I admit to being old; I resist being thought of as
archaic.

I've never used the term "crudités". It's a vegetable platter.

"yeah, I've seen starters" quite a bit in the newer (pricier)
restaurants, but the older ones still use "appetizer". I've also
noticed that appetizers, salads and desserts are huge when they are
not included with the dinner price, so if we order one - we share.
Tonier restaurants here are giving "amuse-bouche" now. We got one the
other day that was so miniscule we wondered why they'd bothered to
dirty the dish.

Back to appetizers... it all depends on the restaurant. You have to
know what you're getting. In some cases, like with fried calamari -
I'll just order the appetizer portion for my main course instead of
the dinner portion because I want calamari, not the other stuff that
comes with it on a dinner plate.

Yep. Way too many say "munchies" which IMNSHO is a
revolting term for food.

Never heard the word used in that way, but if you've never gotten "the
munchies", you're either too young or too innocent.

I interpreted her point as not unlike a recent thread where some young

Sure "munchies" is a slightly coarse broad generalization for appetizers
or snacks, but not necessarily the same thing as "having the munchies"

I certainly didn't mean crudites are appetizers or hors d'oeuvres (well, I
suppose they could be). I don't actually use any of those terms often

It's nice that you remember 'horse'. Once I learned to pronounce the
damned phrase, they changed it to appetizer. Hell, I could have done
that, although I would have probably come up with grubbits.

You do have a choice, you know. Tell him he's not welcome in the house if
he sheds his clothes while there. I'm pretty sure he doesn't take his
clothes off in restaurants, movie theaters, etc. Your home shouldn't be
treated any differently, by anyone. Common courtesy.

I went out to eat for Easter morning and had the most amazing pumpkin
waffles with cinnamon butter. The restaurant is in Philadelphia, The
Continental - I highly recommend their brunch.

But for dinner we made veal chops, spinach, cauliflower with boursin
cheese and then a walnut and goat cheese salad.

That's what I'm doing next year. I was in the kitchen way too long on
sunday. I made eggs benedict for the first time, and carrot cake waffles.

That's totally not okay, especially with the nudists I know. It's
all about respect and consent and appropriateness in every nudist
community I've ever seen.

Sure! I wouldn't allow it, if I were you. That's just plain rude.

Ask Uncle Nasty if he wants the police to haul him in while he is naked.
I bet he will get dressed pretty quick. Nudists do not go naked in
other people's homes. Go over to rec.nude and ask them what they think.
Or maybe not, that group is mostly nut cases. Nevermind.

We went out for dinner tonight, to this pub type place. They've
done stuff with the place, spruced it up a little. Salad came with
dinner. Turned out to be a nice looking plate, piles of vegetables
arranged around the dish. Pile of broccoli, pile of mushrooms, etc.
A side of dressing. Okay, this is different.

Ron pipes up out of nowhere, it's like they gave us some crudités.
I laughed out loud, I don't think I've ever heard him use that word
before.

Maybe he's been spying on rfc.

In Hawaii, about 1970, the word pupu got popular for appetizer or
hors d'oeuvres. Pupu means "shell" and as a kid, I learned a hula
about pupu. Being a stuck in the mud purist, I do not like that word
pupu and I knew the stuff before as hors d'oeuvres and will always use
that term. Funny how language changes.

Many Chinese restaurants on the mainland offer a Pupu Platter, an
assortment of appetizers.

Just since the 70's Wayne. It means *shell*. Funny how the word
caught on. It sounds nasty to me but probably titillating to most.

Thanks for the update.

I think the first time I saw it on a menu was when we lived in Cleveland at
a restaurant called the "Kon-Tiki", a "polynesian" restaurant. This was
back in the late 1960s.

I just had one the other day, it was pretty bad. There used to be
a Polynesian restaurant that had a terrific one, every one of the
items was fresh and tasty. Take out pupu for two is usually very
bready and stale.

I've only eaten pupu once by that name. It was on my one and only salmon
fishing trip to Alaska in 1987. The cook made fresh coho salmon pupu for
breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. It was to die for the first day and
not so much a week later.

Salmon pupu IIRC:
salmon in one inch chunks
heavy batter
deep fry to perfection

The first ten pounds are exquisite. In all fairness, that was the only
way we ate the salmon. We had varied meals which always started with
pupu.
