Hi all,

Cemetary seems to be a fairly new "alternate" spelling. I operate cemetery tours in Orlando, FL and several people have actually tried to correct my spelling. I looked in a new unabridged disctionary, and the spelling with an "a" is not in there.

I think it's odd that Americans don't like kidneys but usually consider liver ok - at least we used to. Seeing that a kidney just stores waste material prior, while a live actually collects bad stuff and holds on to it.

Art - don't forget about "not" dogs - tofu hot dogs.

Also - early on I mentioned that it was ironic that English food is the one cuisine I know of that has unappetising names - I assume that after 117 posts that most will understand the souce of that irony - English food has a reputation to be bland and not very good. I do not hold to this position - the best bowl (4 actually) of soup I have ever had was a cream of broccoli in a pub in the town of Broadway south of Stratford. There are few gastronomic events I have had that compare with how good that soup was. And it cost 1 pound for each bowl and came with as much homemade bread as I could eat. I had a Icelandic lobster bisque that was remarkable too, but the richness of lobster is almost unfair to compare to the humble broccoli.

pax yall, I'm going to go eat.
