    The rap on Culver's is "not enough butter."
    We might give it a try one of these days, but don't hold your breath as
    it won't be any time soon. When we do, we'll write it up.

    I encourage you to do so (both try them, as an
    affordable indulgence, and report back), but be
    advised there are butterier butterburgers around.

    That would be a little salty for me, as is
    the standard wing sauce (half melted margarine,
    half Frank's).
    But it was "the thing" promoted by French's in the mid 60s. Salt wasn't
    a big issue then. Still, nothing to write home about.

    If French's told you to jump off a cliff,
    would you (reference to old saying)?

    had, IIRC, sausage and pepperoni--wanted a bit more of a protein hit to
    go with the carbs of the crust. Even with a small amount of toppings, it
    was a bit of a challenge to eat without dropping half the toppings. But,
    it was cooked thru. Don't know if I'd go back for another one tho.

    What really doesn't go on pizza is raw

    Girl, why you wanna make me blue?
    No, not intentionally. Nor am I goosing you. (G)

    This discussion is beginning to rasp on me.

    I made a fresh strawberry pie yesterday; it's 2/3 gone already.
    You too are being bad.
    It's one that doesn't keep--the crust gets soggy and fresh berries have
    a short shelf life so best made, then eaten quickly. But it's very
    yummy.

    I'm sure, but think of the carbs.

    That was in Berlin. Water in Frankfurt wasn't as bad but still, not
    that > great for drinking.
    Surely, the Germans being as they are,
    safe to drink, though.
    Doubt if many Germans drink their own tap water, most often it's not
    worth drinking. Used to be not very safe for drinking either.

    One of the things about losing a war to the US is
    that one gets gobs of aid with which to rebuild
    the economy and the infrastructure, including the
    water supplies. I'm pretty sure all of western
    Europe has access to safe tap water now; it may
    not always be delicious, but it's an option.

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v7.07

    Title: Cauliflower Soup (Minestra Di Cavalfiore)
    Categories: Italian, Soups, Vegetables
    Servings: 6

    1 lg Head cauliflower
    2 tb White or cider vinegar
    1/4 c Olive oil
    4 To 6 cloves garlic
    1/4 ts To 1/2 tsp hot pepper flakes
    3 c Hot meat broth
    Salt
    1/3 c Chopped fresh parsley
    6 oz Freshly grated pecorino
    -cheese

    "There's probably no sense in making this soup if you don't like
    cauliflower. As with so much Italian food, this recipe uses a few basic
    ingredients to showcase the star vegetable. A purist would even shudder
    at
    the cheese! Make this soup as garlicky and spicy as you like but be sure
    to serve lots of crusty Italian bread or bruschetta (toasted Italian
    bread
    brushed with olive oil). When I want a soup with a bit more texture, I
    remove 1 cup of the cooked cauliflower, puree it, and return it to the
    remaining soup"

    Break the cauliflower florets into small (1/2 inch) pieces. Trim the
    stem
    end and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Wash the cauliflower in 2 quarts of
    cold
    water blended with 2 tablespoons of vinegar. Drain and drop into a large
    pot of boiling salted water. Boil for 4 minutes; drain and dry well.

    Heat the olive oil in a soup pot; add the garlic and hot pepper, and cook
    gently until the garlic is golden. Add the cauliflower and cook for 5
    minutes, stirring to prevent it from browning. Add the hot broth, salt
    and
    parsley and cook until the cauliflower is tender. Ladle into soup bowls
    and sprinkle with a generous amount of cheese.

    Serves 6.

    Hi Michael,

    We will try it, at some point but not sure when that will be.

    No, but IIRC, my sister wanted to try it when Mom was out one night and
    we had to fix supper. She seemed to fancy herself a bit of a gourmet
    cook then and now but..............................let's just say her
    tastes aren't our tastes.

    There are some toppings I won't get on a pizza, including anchovies.

    It seems a substantial majority of the

    Seems so, wonder how/why they became popular to begin with.

    What really doesn't go on pizza is raw
    begetables, unless the oven is extremely
    hot and dries them out before they have a
    chance to ooze their liquid into the crust.

    They're good with a bit of crunch too--bell pepper and onions, at least.

    meat. > ML> > Steve's reaction to my speculation was a big "UGH!".

    You can have the durian; I'll take the tomatoes.

    I'll pass on that one.

    This is the first chance I've gotten so had a lot to catch up on.

    Should we try to keep it currant?

    We were in Berlin 45 years after the war ended; water was still bad
    then.
