 DD> The first echo picnic I attended back in 1998 - jeeziz, has it been

 DD> Don Houston's child bride from the Ukraine. I could detect *NO* heat.
 DD> But, Maya still thought it incendiary.  <SHRUG>

Some people just have no heat tolerance at all.. :)  And apparently your
heat sensor is tuned higher than you thought... ;)

 DD>> The first one I had tried, soon after they killed off the Angus
 DD>> burgers and substituted the tarted-up quarter pound pucks, was almost
 DD>> to the upper ranges of enjoyable. Last night's was considerably
 DD>> "dumbed down". Still tasty, but nowhere near as pungent.
 NB>> A little while ago, I had occasion to check that one out... not bad for
 NB>> fast food on the fly.. :)

 DD> It's OK if the sauce has some kick. Otherwise I druther have the BLT
 DD> version. 

I liked the blue cheese and bacon Angus... too bad they killed them
off... but then I wasn't exactly your steady customer, either.... :)

 DD>> habanero-ranch sauce. So, I asked him why they had "dumbed down" the
 DD>> sauce. When he replied that he didn't think they had both of the
 DD>> cashiers spoke up and assured him that the sauce had gotten pretty
 DD>> wimpy. I had one anyway - the coupon got me fries and a drink and the
 DD>> burger for $4.70 tax included.
 NB>> Guess the manager wasn't partaking of the heat... ;) 

 DD> Managers and employees are provided with free meals. But, y'know,it
 DD> gets old after a while. When I managed in a burger snatcher we used to
 DD> trade burger to the pizza delivery guy ... or the chicken delivery
 DD> (until we got our Henny-Penny Broaster).

Even when they do eat the local provision, they don't have to eat
everything on offer, though... :)

 NB>> Around here the current coupons are for the Big Mac, not the
 NB>> quarter-pounders... I doubt I'll be using them....

 DD> I only get Big Macs when there is a coupon.

I'd offer to send you mine, but these have written right on them that
they are for the Rochester area... ;)
