 BF> Now that was a shock.  But what do Greeks know of such things?   [It
 BF> was the Acropolis on the left, heading West into Palmyra if anyone
 BF> noticed it during the Picnic weekend.]  
 BF> When I questioned the waitress she said CFS mean chicken fried like
 BF> steak!  I offered a counter definition of CFS, then I ate the fried
 BF> chicken anyway.  It was quit good, for chicken.

A critic!

 BF> At some later time I saw that they were serving proper CFS.

Perhaps enough people got irritated that the rube in the kitchen
learned. Reminds me of my uncle's summer job tending bar in
college, someplace in the Catskills, when someone ordered a gin
and ginger, and the order took a long time ... the waiter went
off to inquire, and it turned out my uncle had had a tough time
finding a knob of ginger and an even tougher time peeling and
mincing it ...

 dsh->   As I think I have said, Gail and I have been rotated back into east
 dsh->   coast time instead of our more normal west coast time.  
 BF> You mean I am all alone now at 3 or 4 o'clock am ?

No, I'm often up at that hour, sometimes unable to sleep and
sometimes not having gotten to bed yet.

 dsh-> ... and sausage gravy (ok, but not as good as Bob Evan's makes).
 BF> Have you ever tried loads and loads of black pepper to fix up so-so
 BF> sausage gravy?

A Cook!

 BF> I remember that.   I seem to remember Richard cooking up a storm with
 BF> absolutely  no apparent effort.  It seems like he produced big wads of
 BF> food outdoors at that picnic.   Was he a pro cook?  Or has my memory
 BF> embellished the scene?

We saw Rich a year or two ago - he's personal cheffing plus
cooking at a B&B someplace. He was always dabbling in pro
cooking and was as I recall pretty good at it.

 -=> Burton Ford said to Jim Weller <=-
 jw-> From: Douglas Anderson in rec.humour....
 jw-> Never use references to shite, as this is an animal product.
 BF> "Shite"..... aah, such a rare whiff of daintiness, for this Echo.
 BF> Title: Chipped Beef on Toast

Now that's funny.

 -=> Burton Ford said to Dale Shipp <=-

 dsh-> I think that there is a beverage/food in which saliva is an important
 dsh-> ingredient.  Supposedly the women chew up something and spit it into a
 dsh->   bowl.   Perhaps it is something from Glen's neck of the woods?
 BF> South America?
 BF> Something to do with tapioca or monoic or something like that?   [to
 BF> lazy to google]

And a food historian as well. But not an orthographer:
manioc.
