    a limited batch flavor.
    Maybe, but I can't see being enthusiastic
    about it.
    You probably would have needed some real champagne to it.
    Might improve matters, but again there's
    this why bother? issue.
    True.

    So many products to refrain from tasting,
    so little time.

    True. I do like some veggie burgers, but not the ones meant to
    taste like meat.
    The one I recall most immediately tasted like
    lima bean with a side of green beans. You of
    course may enjoy what you wish, but lima beans?
    Some people do. I find them edible, but that's about it.

    Edible with poisonous aftereffects.

    Don't knock souvenir scenes for tourists. That
    would have kept him off the streets, as it did
    for Lilli for some time. And some of them can
    get kind of good, with a bit of practice. There's
    this guy Canaletto, for example.
    Yeah well. For every Canaletto there are 3000 guys pushing a pencil
    around. Id have preferred a wall full of watercolors by the person
    in question to his eventual employment.

    Canaletto was no better than some of the pencil
    (well, brush) pushers. There are a bunch of them,
    someone named Guardi or something, a couple Brits,
    and so on, I forget, who were just about as good
    but who lacked the cute name.

    If Adolf had a cute name like Fleischzartmachter
    maybe he could have gotten into art school and
    become the Canaletto of his day instead of
    something even more fearsome.

    By then the seeds would have spread and your exclusive wouldn't
    have
    been exclusive any more.
    That being the point. Though Monsanto has managed
    to soak farmers for unwitting infringement
    through such means as airborne pollen distribution.
    They've tried at least.

    They've succeeded in some jurisdictions.

    gruyere, served over linguini.
    Except for the pesto part, it sounds familiar.
    Like I said. It probably has a name.
    A nice one?
    It wasn't bad.

    Not "golden shining lovebird" in Duckbill Platypese?

    Title: Ham and Asparagus Pasta
    And not dairy free, for those who'd care.
    Pasta sauces are often much improved
    by a bit of dairy, though I say it who
    shouldn't.
    It rarely hurts, especially if it's parmesan or romano. Or cream.

    What I don't understand is how people equate
    Parmesan and Romano. One smells like feet, the
    other like ovine meadow muffins. And when one
    mixes the two, as some benighted recipes tell
    you to, the result smells like feet that have
    squunlched in meadow muffins.

    True.

    So many products to refrain from tasting,
    so little time.

    It's faster than trying them all.

    course may enjoy what you wish, but lima beans?
    Some people do. I find them edible, but that's about it.

    Edible with poisonous aftereffects.

    Some days that's tempting.

    but who lacked the cute name.

    And an Instagram channel; these days that can work magic.

    If Adolf had a cute name like Fleischzartmachter
    maybe he could have gotten into art school and
    become the Canaletto of his day instead of
    something even more fearsome.

    ...an IRS agent?

    That being the point. Though Monsanto has managed

    I should have known.

    More like "Random thrown-together ingredients" in Nutmegger.

    It rarely hurts, especially if it's parmesan or romano. Or
    cream.

    I'm used to them, and have been known to eat overaged brie. It really
    does smell like feet. Tastes a bit pungent too.
