    Possibly so. My parents made us eat stuff we didn't like, no "just
    try a > little bite" either. It was a full serving.
    In general I endorse that, but for a true allergic
    (luckily none of you were true allergics) that might
    have been quite unpleasant.
    Quite so, but since none of us has food allery issues, Mom and Dad could enforce the "take a full serving" rule. Even if we disliked it, as all

    Sometimes people's food aversions have a physiological
    component, and sometimes the results can be frightening.

    of us kids did with sweet potatoes, we had to take a full serving of my grandmother's sweet potato with marshmallows dish every year at
    Thanksgiving.

    For me the objection of course is more to the marshmallows
    than the sweet potatoes. I used to hate sweet potatoes
    until I had them au naturel with butter.

    Well, that's of course. I was thinking of a trompe
    l'oeil spaghetti-eis made out of spaghetti, making a
    joke upon a joke.
    Doubtful if it would be appreciated by many people.

    As a joke maybe not, but as a dish - I'd bet that I
    could make it appealing to the majority or at least to
    a significant number of culinary perverts.

    in the fall; the following summer when they > ML> were closer

    Then in his case is it a visual thing?
    Probably more likely the "jaded teen ager" attitude.
    In my observation, jaded teenagerism gives way
    to the love for ice cream pretty much every time.
    Undoubtedly, but the novelty thing probably wasn't to his liking.
    In that case, it's fair enough.
    He does like ice cream, I do know that.

    So a case of cutting one's nose off to spite one's face?

    Isn't there a tagline that sounds sort of like
    that? Something about a definite maybe. Along the
    lines of the rare medium well done.
    I know the gist, but not the actual line.

    Maybe Nancy could help solidify our memories. As I
    recall, she has used this tagline.

    Our bedroom on the open plan has been a huge success,
    Though everywhere so open there's nowhere safe to dress!

    taste and wittier than Prof. Schickele pretty much all

    O-kay

    Being able only to speak for myself, if I had asked for
    a beef stew, and someone gave me a rose by that name,
    I'd consider that person a complete loony, whether
    they'd been that in my estimation before or not.
    And others might play along with the game, calling a bowl of beef stew
    some other name.

    Well, all right, I did it with carrot cake not so long ago.

    Title: Honey Bacon Bread
    Interesting, but don't think I'll make it as is. I may try a non
    bread > machine version, but not any time soon.
    I might, but i'd omit the bread part and possibly
    the bacon part.
    IOW, not in the near (or distant) future?

    Perhaps not as recognized by most folks.

    Goalando Steamer Chicken Curry
    Categories: Indian, Bengali, main, poultry
    Servings: 4 to 6

    1 chicken cut in pieces
    6 onions, sliced
    1 ts sugar (opt)
    2 Tb freshly minced garlic
    2 Tb freshly minced ginger
    8 dry red chilies ground into a paste
    8 sliced green chilies
    1/2 c mustard oil
    1 ts salt

    Marinate the chicken in all the ingredients and
    keep in the fridge for at least 30 min. Heat a
    pan and add the marinated chicken. Cook on a
    high heat for 2 min, until the chicken starts
    to change colour.

    Turn the flame to medium, cover and cook. Check
    and stir every few min. In 20 to 30 min it should
    be done. A lovely reddish gravy from the juice of
    the onions should have formed by now. Do not add
    any water.

    Hi Michael,

    Possibly so. My parents made us eat stuff we didn't like, no
    "just > ML> try a > little bite" either. It was a full serving.
    In general I endorse that, but for a true allergic
    (luckily none of you were true allergics) that might

    it, as all

    Sometimes people's food aversions have a physiological
    component, and sometimes the results can be frightening.

    Mine's not physiological, just a pure dislike of the stuff I don't like.

    of us kids did with sweet potatoes, we had to take a full serving of
    my > grandmother's sweet potato with marshmallows dish every year at
    Thanksgiving.

    For me the objection of course is more to the marshmallows
    than the sweet potatoes. I used to hate sweet potatoes
    until I had them au naturel with butter.

    I still can't eat a sweet potato in any form.


    Well, that's of course. I was thinking of a trompe
    l'oeil spaghetti-eis made out of spaghetti, making a
    joke upon a joke.
    Doubtful if it would be appreciated by many people.

    As a joke maybe not, but as a dish - I'd bet that I
    could make it appealing to the majority or at least to
    a significant number of culinary perverts.

    Posssibly the latter group, not so sure about the former.

    He does like ice cream, I do know that.

    He would go for a dish of ice cream, but not done up as "spaghetti".

    Isn't there a tagline that sounds sort of like
    that? Something about a definite maybe. Along the
    lines of the rare medium well done.
    I know the gist, but not the actual line.

    She might have it in her file; mine isn't that large.

    OK by me.
