LOL Barry, nope, I'm not quite old enough to remember White Castles around here. :-) And poi is icky, but it might have been a good experience for you. Doesn't really taste like much, just mashed tubers.

And I agree, the fajitas in restaurants around here taste kinda like dirt, after you've had the real thing. I blame it on the bland green things that pass as chilis around here. Anyone want to send some REAL chilis up north?
