I should correct myself about it not being part of my childhood. It was my wife and her mother who introduced me to oxtail stew, but I used to have oxtail soup when I was a kid. It was canned, but it was one of my favourites, that and Scotch broth. |

You must be the kind of person who needs a moderator, or your cooking skills are just abominable, not only that but you must be one of those people who dares to make something from a package, use a can of soup, a cake mix, etc., and omigod, off brands no less. Also, if you microwave something, or add an ingredient to a recipe that actually makes it better, you are CHEATING. LOL, just joking about your cooking, but thought I'd save time with the responses that are sure to come. :-) Cheri |

Same here. People have moved onto other things online, and newbies don't want to know about Usenet. If it isn't a bloated, garish web page, then people don't want to know about it these days.
