people will say, oh, well, why not, it's only a
buck, and I wanted just a bite of something
sweet. The profit margin would be way more, bite
for bite, than a full serving would get for the
restaurant.

Even at 3 for a buck, the profit margin would be a lot greater... ;)

Perhaps, though the labor costs are greater
with preparing the littler portions.

There is that... :)

You're quite welcome. One of the things this
echo is good for is getting the skinny on
stuff you don't know about.

SOW, a friend saw a health alert about avoiding oysters because they now harbor a flesh-eating bacteria/virus... do you know anything about
that...? She asked me, but that isn't anything I stay up on... so then
she suggested I ask my more informed friends in the Cooking Echo... ;)

There have been recent reports of severe
effects of waterborne Vibrio and other
bacterial infections much more virulent
than what has been reported before - one
or two cases via shellfish ingestion. That
doesn't stop me, though.

I figured that whatever she'd seen was probably a bit overblown...
considering her sources.... I'll pass your (and Jim's) comments along to her.... thanks... :)

It's possible that
the situation might get sufficiently bad in
my lifetime to rethink that. I wonder what
happens when microorganisms become more heat
tolerant, as in kitchen heat tolerant ... .

That could get a little scary... perhaps we'll also become more tolerant
of the microorganisms and they won't bother us.... ;)

... You can't fool all the people all the time -- but a majority will do!

Well ... or a significant number, anyway. Cheap and
fraudulent goods don't need everyone to buy them,
just a bunch of gullibles.

Quite true. :)

Here's something I made with a couple really
useless liquors bought on sale at Costco (not
purchased on my watch).
Veev Leblon
categories: booze
servings: 1
1 oz Veev acai liqueur
1 oz Leblon cachaca
3 oz pineapple juice
2 dr vanilla
Stir together and serve over ice.
Source: moi, experimentation

And how did it taste...? Worth drinking...?

... In an alternate universe, I make sense!
