that the Ethiopians eat the raw fat separately - a
wrinkle that has not yet arrived in the restaurants
here in the US.

Do they grind or chop it, or just leave it in a chunk...?

Don't know. I've eaten at Ethiopian restaurants in
a few countries, but Ethiopia is not one of them.

Hmmm.... might have to ask someone that's been there... or maybe came
from there, even.... :)

Could do - you might ask your Abyssinians, and they
might say, oh, we don't do that because the
Rochesterians get weirded out by it, or possibly they
might say, eww, who ever thought of such a thing.

No way to know until/unless one does ask, I guess... ;)

Yeah, but we're talking about people at the top of
their profession - Neubauer and Vernon being principals
at New York and Cleveland (or was it Chicago?) and McCarty
being the de facto principal (nominally Burt Fine was) in
Boston.

Being at the top of the profession doesn't guarantee feeling
secure, though....

That IS true, but one might hope for a tougher
skin at the top.

One might hope, I suppose... ;)

Of course, we see some counterexamples every day.

Indeed.

Yep. So you are lost and come to a crossroads, where
you find the Easter Bunny, a bad viola player, and a
good viola player. You ask them which way to go. The
Easter Bunny says, turn left. The bad viola player
says, go straight, and the good viola player says turn
right. Which way do you go? Well, you go straight. The
Easter Bunny is obviously a hallucination, and a good
viola player is, well, obviously a hallucination.

GROAN. ;)

That was told me by a German viola player.

It would have had to be a viola player, to get away with it... ;)

... Appetisers are those little bits you eat until you lose your appetite.

Actually, I've come over into your camp of making a meal from them,
especially at Fu's when we are there at suppertime... ;)
