A while ago I saw, on "the view", a barbecue segment. Along with the
meat that he was swabbing with a marinade, he had some romaine on the
grill that he continually swabbed with the same marinade as the meat.
About 2 minutes or so, on each side. The four women, each one of them,
approached tasting it with caution--and each one raised their eyebrows
in surprise, and they LOVED it. I haven't had a chance to try it. Has
anyone out there tried it??

No, but I do like to grill endive, the whole heads, with a lot of olive oil
on them.

Sounds like a winner, Peter. I'll try it. I love endive. Sometimes I
separate the leaves, spread cream cheese on each leaf, and then put a
nice strip of smoked salmon on it. Makes a great appetizer--or supper.

Have never heard of such a thing. Were they hearts of romaine, or
indivudual leaves? Sounds interesting, and easy enough to try next time
we're grilling something.

Though I have to wonder....do the people tasting stuff on these shows *ever*
not like a dish? Does anybody ever just spew the mouthful food? I saw a
show recently that had funny outtakes from news broadcasts, and there were a
few "blecccch"s after they had cut to commercial or whatever.
But I haven't seen a full-scale spew.

If you get a clear view of their face you go by the smile: mouth
