First you say you like Miracle Whip (branding yourself as a mutant), and
then you ask about salad dressing, which you had to reason to capitalize.
Are you asking how to make your mayo taste like Miracle Whip, or some
other thing?

I thought that was obvious. Yes, I want to make my own Miracle Whip clone
to use on sandwiches and in salads. I've made "boiled salad dressing"
before, but it isn't fatty enough. I'll continue to use real mayo when I
make egg salad or deviled eggs, which are the two legitimate uses for it.
Bob

Maybe try adding sugar to your mayo, and maybe some of those colored
sprinkles kids put on ice cream. That should give you a pretty good Miracle
Whip imitation.

Now you're just being snotty.

LOL. I didn't know a better way to spell it. I was thinking of
crayfish, Cray Research, and Crayola crayons. :-) I see "aa" and I'm
thinking Baa-Baa Blacksheep.

OB Food: Six jars of blackberry jam just came from the canner. More
peach jam today (Amaretto Peach, I'm thinking); nectarine jam is done
and delicious. Tomatoes are in my future tomorrow and Sunday.

No, we say "croppie" because that's the correct way to pronounce it. "-)

Absurd. You say it that way out of some fake sense of propriety. If you
pronounced "map" like "mop", any good English teacher would beat you with a
ruler, and be totally justified in doing so.

Nah, I said it that way out of some true sense of whimsy and poking fun.

Curiousity question: What do you do when you visit towns or cities
where the name of the city or town isn't pronounced correctly; i.e., the
way it is elsewhere? I'm not saying this well. What I'm thinking of
are the communities of Lima, Ohio and New Prague, Minnesota. I don't
know what the Ohioans would say if you said LEEma, but the folks in New
Prague would know you don't know if you said New PRAHgue ‹ or Novy
Praha. "-) But they probably wouldn't correct you. On second thought,
they probably *would* correct you. Are you going to tell them they're
wrong?

How right do you want to be? Isn't "fisherpersons" redundant?

If you want to have a perhaps more spirited discussion you might
go to alt.english.usage or alt.usage.english. One of those, and
I forget which, has distinctly pugnacious posts. It's a pity
that, outside specialists, so few know the IPA phonetic alphabet
or, better for a text newsgroup, SAMPA

We have a plethora of interestingly pronounced names hereabouts:

Tulalip (Tu-LAY-lip)
Puyallup (PEW-wallup)
Cheney (Chee-ney), NOT named for the VP

OB Food: The Puyallup Fair in September is going trans-fat-free. Folks
can eat funnel cakes, deep-fried Snickers bars, and corn dogs with
slightly less guilt.

Us, too, down here in Iowa. ;-) I've never heard anyone NOT say
"croppie."

N.

Here in Oregon it's pronounced "croppie." To say it otherwise marks the
speaker as an out-of-stater, most likely from the East.

~~ Shelly ~~

No, it's pronounced croppie back East as well. Maybe it was a way to
dignify a rather commonplace fish.

Novy Praha

I will let you know that this is a terrible, totally inexcusable grammar
mistake! Praha is feminine, ergo Nova Praha. Ha!

ObFood in Praha: Bramborová polévka. The recipe is from Time-Life
_Recipes: The Cooking of Vienna's Empire_, compiled by Joseph Wechsberg.

Bubba

Bramborová Polévka
Potato Soup

To serve 4 to 6

2 pounds (about 4 medium-sized) boiling potatoes
6 tablespoons butter
1 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup diced parsnips (1/2-inch dice)
1 cup finely chopped onions
1 cup diced carrots (1/2-inch dice)
2 tablespoons flour
1 quart chicken stock, fresh or canned
1/4 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 chopped mushrooms, fresh or dried (dried mushrooms should be soaked
and drained)

Cook the unpeeled potatoes for 6 to 8 minutes in boiling water to cover,
then peel and dice them into 1/2-inch chunks. Melt the butter in a
heavy 4-quart saucepan or a soup kettle over medium heat. Add the
potatoes, celery, parsnips, onions and carrots. Let the vegetables
cook, uncovered, in the butter, stirring them occasionally, for about 10
minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Sprinkle the flour evenly
over the vegetables, then stir them until they are all well coated.

Add the stock, marjoram, salt, a few grindings of pepper and mushrooms.
Bring the soup to a boil on high heat, stirring almost constantly.
Reduce the heat to very low and partially cover the pot. Simmer for 25
to 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender. Taste for seasoning.

Serve in individual soup bowls or in a heated soup tureen.
