Yuck! They may have called it foccacia, but it is far from any authentic
foccacia I have ever had, and bear no resemblance to any I have made.

That is much thicker than any I have ever seen. Extra-virgin Olive Oil
contributes substantially to the taste of foccacia; the shortening that is
in Bisquick adds little or no flavor. Though some recipes may call for a
bit of sugar to feed the yeast, it would never be enough to make the dough
sweet.

Dick,
You must be using the Royal Terminology "We", because no one agreed with
you when I used to post here. You were on my "Kill List" before and you may
make it again!

We think that you are just trying to stir up some more trouble.

John,
Do you mean that you agree with Dick that I am trying to cause trouble or
that you prefer bottom posting? I prefer top posting because it saves time.
I have usually read the previously posted messages and if there is something
I want to re-read I just scroll down. Another thing is that my Newsreader
is set up for top posting. I really don't care how people post and would
never try to tell them what to do.
