-=> Quoting Dave Drum to Jim Weller <=-

 JW> The nachos I get at sports bars are thinly layered nacho chips on a
 JW> metal pizza pan, sprinkled generously with diced sweet and hot red
 JW> and green peppers, onion and olives, then taco meat and sauce, then
 JW> a reasonably generous but not overwhelming amount of Jack cheese.
 JW> They are broiled until the cheese melts and served with hot sauce
 JW> and a bowl of sour cream on the side. They are quite good, but are
 JW> $8 or more.

 DD> I'd say that your version is worth more than my U$2 version ... but,
 DD> that's damning with faint praise as I can't see them being worth C$8
 DD> either. 

If the platter is huge and the toppings are generous I have no problem
with that.

 DD> I have never cottoned to bars which feature televisions as an
 DD> "attraction". Especially "sports bars" with a cacophony of competing
 DD> "sports" on an array of screens. I call them the "Tower of Babble" and
 DD> usually go elsewhere.

The one I go to have just two screens, both on the same channel and
the volume set very low. There is also a pool table and several dart
boards which is the attraction for me.

 DD> Harry's which does not even have a TV in evidence - rather a
 DD> sign which says "If you want to watch TV get a 12 pack and go home to
 DD> your own TV." 
 DD> Harry also refuses to sell/serve LITE beer. He tells those who attempt
 DD> to order it "If you want a beer say so. If you just want to flush your
 DD> kidneys, I'll bring you a pitcher of water, no charge."

I like his attitude. I'd like his bar.

  I'd do the carrots 8 minutes, kohlrabi for 6, cauliflower and
  asparagus 4, and the peas 2 minute. Also add more seasonings and
  use pork or ham stock. -JW
