v for frequency?

But swai like sewers... The US FDA at one point disallowed calling swai catfish but part of their oversight was passed to the USDA which is more liberal about what constitutes a catfish.

Cynically with the price for cod, haddock, halibut, and so forth headed for the atmosphere allowing a greater selection of trash fish means the markets still have semi-affordable fish. The FDA even reversed itself on tilapia and now list it among the best choices.

Acetic acid is a base in your world?

I'm sure you're familiar with mean, median, standard deviations, and all that. On one tail you have the Nobel prize winners, on the other you have those who aren't prosecuted for crimes because the court believes they're too stupid to understand the nature of the crimes.

I can think of a few Peace Prizes the Nobel committee should demand back but they are just as political as any other organization. The hard sciences are better when they are not interesting observations with no practical use.

I'm wondering if the famous normal distribution curve isn't on its way to becoming a bimodal distribution.

We like the Kings buns. Who sued them? Is it illegal to sell Philly Cheesesteaks or New York style pizza? Kentucky Fried Chicken? Boston Market?

Looks like some judge tossed the silly Kings suit. It was probably a greedy lawyer.

In the early '50s my mother was incensed that there was no coffee ice cream to be had in Washington. The provincials had never heard of it.

I don't eat too much ice cream in the course of a year but a local shop makes a cardamon version that can lure me in.

About 37 cents per ounce. Do what my friend does, steal packets of ketchup from fast-food restaurants.

The cheap $5 a pound asian import fish is good for making broth. It's hard to find fish scraps for broth.

Fresh west coast salmon and petrale sole and black cod cost a lot more, as much as $30 a pound.

BMI around 23. What's yours?

Mo doesn't like my kind of dressing; she makes her own and also adds maple syrup. Her BMI is 18.

That would mean I would have to go to fast food restaurants.

That's the bunny. I add mustard powder and grind up a nutmeg too. And add sliced tomatoes and chorizo on top . And of course more grated cheddar. It looks, smells and tastes delicious.

If I have to...

In fact carrots and cauliflower or leeks in a cheese sauce is/was quite common.

But nothing beats charlotte potatoes dauphinois au gratin...

While you guys sat back and made money out of us, till Japan kicked you in the balls.

"I eat my peas with honey. I've done it all my life. It makes the peas taste funny, But they stick upon the knife"

"Mary had a tin cow, She milked it with a spanner*. The milk came out in shilling** cans And small ones, for a tanner***".

And there was me thinking Hawaiian Buns were sliced breasts off dusky buxom pacific islanders...,

There's a fish called 'Kingclip' that is the best white fish I ever tasted. In South Africa. I have no idea what it really is.

Fish these days has gotten so dear that I really dont like it that much to spend that much.

I eat cheapo fish like fresh sardines and I like seafood.

Mary had a little dress, 'Twas split right up the sides And every time she wore that dress The men could see her thighs.

Mary had another dress 'Twas split right up the front. She didn't wear that one very often.

Mary had a little pig. She couldn't stop it gruntin', So she took it down the garden shed And kicked its little "couldn't" in.

Mary had a little lamb And tied it to a pylon. The electric spark flew up its arse And turned its wool to nylon.

That used to be a dig at the lack of onerous rationing in the US in WW2.

Do you mean ready salted, or do you have the ones with the salt in a little bag?

Before they found a way to flavour "crisps" (as we call them) all our crisps were plain, with salt in a little screw of blue paper so you could add as much or little as you liked. Now you can get plain with the salt in a little blue bag.

Mary had a little lamb Unfortunately, it's dead. Now it goes to school with her Between two bits of bread.
