G'day leeneia,

I'm not sure where you are (nationally) ... and I did grow up hearing a lot of those British food names (they survived well in the Scouts and the Services) but I just stumbled on a yellowing clipping (all right - it is less that a year old ... but newsprint yellows quickly, these days ... almost as fast of the statements of the politicians it reports) describing two American culinary favourites of the camping and picnic set.

These have perfectly acceptable names: "Monte Christo (well, the rogue 'h' is a worry ...) and the cryptic "s'more (short for: some more). I won't give the gastronomic details yet ... I'm hoping to be reassured by some American that they are not quite the "coronary occlusions waiting to happen" that the Sydney Morning Herald's correspondent describes!

Regard(les)s,

Bob Bolton
