I've been told the orange juice is fresh out of the can more times than
I can count. At least once, the waitress said it with a smile and smirk
showing she understood the discrepency between the ad on the menu and
the reality in the kitchen. I tipped her better than usual.

I also don't like the "new" fresh orange juice where they
process the orange, peel and all. It might be fresh juice
but it will never truely be fresh "squeezed", IMO.

I haven't run into this yet, but I'd be willing to try it. How is it
labeled? Do I find it in the supermarket or specialty store?

I use to work in a grocery store bakery and one time a customer holding a
package of cookies asked, "Were these cookies baked fresh?" My reply was, "No,
they were baked stale." I personally knew the customer so I was able to get
away with making a comment like that. I did however have this one man ask me
if the cherry pie with the cracked crust in the display case was going to be
sold at a reduced price. I told him no; it still tastes the same whether the
crust was cracked or not.

That is not "new." That is the way if was done way back. It's just
coming around again. There's a resort in Utah that serves oj this way.

They'd plotz if they were serving my husband who asks (in
coastal restaurants) whether the swordfish was long-lined
or harpooned...

Although I absolutely love swordfish - I refuse to buy it.
Period. The fisheries are seriously depleted, no matter how
they are caught and we shouldn't contribute to the demise of
swordfish.

If that doesn't stop him, tell him they are high in mercury.

http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/fish/InNews/mercfish.htm

All fish contain some mercury in the form of methylmercury,
the agency said. "Large, predatory fish, which are higher up
the food chain, can build up higher levels of methylmercury
in their bodies. However, our survey identified levels of
concern in only three species - shark, swordfish and the
closely related marlin."

Good for you, sf. I wholeheartedly agree. We are overfishing our oceans to
death, and when they go, we go.

Yes, I agree, and I refuse to eat Orange Roughy for just that reason.

I've never seen swordfish for sale here, and if I did I still wouldn't
buy it.

At a rural Florida (attempting to be) "upscale" restaurant 30+ years ago,
my mother asked where her entree of frogs legs came from. The waiter's
response: "Out of a box, I guess".

I think my mother was expecting a somewhat more appetizing origin... like
from the local waters.

The Monterey Aquarium distributes little wallet-sized cards when you
visit that tell you which fish are currently OK to eat, which are on the
"watch" list, and which to definitely avoid. I think they keep the list
updated on their website.

When did the Monterey Aquraium start doing that??? I visited
in the past year... just a few months ago in fact... and
completely missed out on it even though the information desk
got to know me on a first name basis by the end of the day.

I was there about two years ago. I know they're still doing it, as a
friend went there recently (within the last couple of months) and he got
one of those cards on his visit as well.

But now ya gotta tell us your embarrassing story! We promise not to
