====================
 RH> I'll tolerate a bad meal if the company is good.

There have been meals that were so nasty that no amount
of goodness of company could redeem. I remember one at
a place that thank goodness no longer exists right south
of the Bourne rotary going to Cape Cod where a bunch of
us just had to walk out on the meal, otherwise it would
have destroyed our digestions and likely our friendship
as well.

 RH> IOW, it was the wurst of the liver?  (GD&R)
 ML> The wurst of it wasn't the liver.
 ML> HAGGIS
 RH> Now that might turn my stomach.

It having been a stomach? Offal isn't all that bad.

 ML> I remember a time when a jar of tarragon fell into my pot of
 ML> chili, and I said, what the heck, let's keep it, guidance
 ML> from above, that sort of thing. That was a writeoff for sure.
 RH> Definatly! After all, who wants to eat tarragon & glass flavored
 RH> chili? (G)
 
The glass was mostly intact, and there was no real danger
of anyone having a lacerated digestive tract. Just taste buds.

 ML>  Once in AZ tho, I made
 RH> one that none of us could finish--used up a bottle of assorted powdered
 RH> chilis in the sloppy joe mix. It was too hot, even for Steve.
 ML> I'd no doubt have liked that.
 RH> It was quite hot; you might not have cared for it. I'd put the chilis
 RH> in a bottle labeled "chili powder" a while before and forgotten it
 RH> wasn't common chili powder. Now I'm more careful to label what kind of
 RH> chilis are in a container.

Not to either brag or exaggerate, but I doubt anyone here
would even unintentionally make something so hot I wouldn't
be able to enjoy it (if it otherwise tasted good).

 ML> and he became the lawyer for the
 ML> Warhol estate, which probably meant that he cooked up a lot more
 ML> interesting stuff, but at least they could afford to eat out.
 RH> And eat better than McDonald's or similar places.

Luckily for good taste and Kashrut, they didn't spend much
time in such places; luckily for the sake of integrity, they
didn't spend much money in fancy places, either.
