• 437 cans was kitchen

    It would make sense to me to have one style can worldwide,
    unless a company were truly gigantic. I'm guessing that
    every element of a design has a purpose (otherwise, why
    pay for more art than one has to), but what the
    implication of that is I'm not sure.
    It might well be the same can worldwide... I've never peeled the
    stickers to see what was underneath.... :) As to the purpose of the
    elements of the design... they are somewhat eye-catching, and do let one
    know what the contents of the can are... the most important things... ;)

    Like the Gerber baby food jars.

    Since she makes her compote out of drops, it was less
    pretty than tasty, and the fruit were very soft.
    Still sounds rather nice... :)
    Well perfumed, not oversweet. Pretty balanced.
    Squishy though.
    Mostly wonderful, then... ;)
    I probably would have said embrace the mush - and
    made a pudding or soup out of the fruit.
    Or a preserve to spread on things....?

    That would indeed embrace the mush and was what I did
    with the mediocre mirabelle plums from the market.

    That wouldn't happen on a picnic night out... unless it was a
    week-long
    one... :) Maybe some visit, we can go back there and you can get
    yours
    hotter... ;)
    Sure thing.
    OK, we'll try to keep that in mind... :)
    The food seemed a little spicier before.
    It might have been... when we went there just with you, we might have
    said something about spice level, but I don't remember now for sure...

    Knowing us, we probably did. There might have been
    a way to fix things at the big dinner- for example,
    making the three platters mild, medium, and hot, but
    that would have put pressure on the kitchen.

    There would be enough range burners for it.
    Sounds like a good idea then... ;)
    And instead of using round, we might use a
    tenderer (not a soft, though) cut. Rump or
    shell or other sirloin comes to mind.
    You know that sort of stuff better than I do.... :)

    It doesn't require vast experience or massive cost.

    ... Everybody wants something that somebody else has.

    Nah.

    Yeah, ok... I did briefly consider that qwirk... ;)

    Indeed. :)

    Yup, probably would have been more pressure on the kitchen... an
    interesting thought, though...

    ... It's amazing how pervasive food is.
