=======================
 RH> OK, I'd not searched. BTW, my younger brother has sent us some Dakin
 RH> Farm stuff the past couple of years for Christmas.  I think we may
 RH> still have a small can of blueberries from the one package. (G)

The place sells stuff that isn't smoked, and I don't see the point
of it: I wouldn't have remembered that they sell canned berries if
you hadn't mentioned it. Of course, I have no experience with such.

I found the quality of the smoking pretty high (they did tend to
do so very enthusiastically, so the food is very smoky) but that
of the underlying foods variable: so the smoked Cheddar (quite
Cabotesque) was nice, but the smoked Swiss was below average
(domestic Swiss, said the cheese expert, tastes like putty at
best and soap at worst).

 ML> And it's too bad, as the underlying principles are almost
 ML> universal.
 RH> To some extent, yes, but very different in other aspects. Then you get
 RH> the extreme interpreters of it..................

Thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbor, thou shalt not covet they
neighbor's spouse or goods. Pretty universal. But:

Quoting Michael Loo to Glen Jamieson, 13 May 2005

 ML> You heard about what happened when God came down looking
 ML> for a Chosen People.

 ML> First he found a Babylonian, and he said, if your
 ML> compatriots follow my commandments, you can be my
 ML> Chosen People, and the Babylonian said, give me a
 ML> for example, and God said, like, Thou shalt not
 ML> steal; and the Babylonian said, although I appreciate
 ML> your offer, my people would not stand for that: you
 ML> see, we make our money off sharp trading and taking
 ML> advantage of those who aren't so well informed as we
 ML> are. So then, somewhat saddened, God continued his
 ML> quest; presently, he came upon an Arabian, and he said,
 ML> if your compatriots follow my commandments, you can
 ML> be my Chosen People, and the Arabian said, give me a
 ML> for example, and God said, like, Thou shalt not kill;
 ML> and the Arabian said, we couldn't live like that -
 ML> our entire way of life is based on ambushing caravans
 ML> and killing the people and taking their camels and their
 ML> stuff. So, much saddened, God went off; and as luck
 ML> [would have it] he found Moses; and not expecting much,
 ML> he said, if your compatriots follow my commandments, you
 ML> can be my Chosen People, and Moses said, how much will
 ML> they cost us, and God said, they are free! so Moses
 ML> said, okay, I'll take ten.
 
 ML> GARLIC CHICKEN
 RH> Looks good to me, chicken and garlic, can't go wrong there.
