Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards...
Beyond that, for starters you can send the $100 joining fee and first month's $35 membership fee to me. I'll see that it gets to the treasurer of The Cabal (TINC).
Top-posting is frowned on here and some people do it anyway. Personally, I've a tendency to post replies within the post to which I am replying, snipping judiciously when possible. Snipping posts for brevity is a good thing.
We're an odd bunch - especially the Bobs.
Excuse me? Oh, wait. You're correct. Some are just "odd-er" than others.

LOL! The first time I saw a recipe using Kiwi's I wondered who would want to eat a bird raw! And they don't look very edible, either. <g>
LOL! Mind you, since all the different types of kiwis (that's the bird) are threatened species, or in decline, eating them would probably be frowned on :-)
In Australia we tend to use the word "kiwifruit" to describe the fruit. Kiwi means either the bird or a New Zealander. So I do find it funny when I see recipe posts etc on here which refer to "kiwis". Get some funny visual imagery.As a child (so sometime in the 70s) I remember my mum calling kiwifruit Chinese gooseberries. Not sure when kiwifruit became the name we knew them by. At that stage they weren't something we had very often (I only have vague memories of them, and it may have only been the one occasion) - they used to be quite expensive.

I remember it also being in the 70s when the kiwifruit was introduced in the US, but they were just called Kiwis. They were quite expensive at the time. I think the first time I bought them I used them sliced, along with sliced strawberries, to top a cheesecake.

one of the side benefits to the group (to me, anyway) is that you learn a lot of u.k. and antipodean slang. (I couldn't tell from the headers where the o.p. is from.)
Thanks for the link. I had a look at it, and it contains a wealth of useful basic information--certainly too much to digest all at once (no pun intended). I'll be going back to it from time to time.
BTW, my news server doesn't contain an NG dedicated to discussion of TV cooking shows such as those available in my city on The Food Network. Is anyone here at all interested in those?
-wl
I don't know of a NG dedicated to TV cooking shows, however, there are sporadic threads here on rfc about various chef personalities from The Food Network. Since my cable system doesn't carry The Food Network, I don't participate much in these discussion, except on the occasions when I trash Emeril. Regardless of his success, fame, or wealth, I think he's a complete ass. There are a few here who share my view, although others do not.

unlike views on, say, chili.
Hey, can you make REAL barbecue from beef? Or is pork the definitive barbecue meat? And how about AUTHENTIC barbecue sauce; what are its essential characteristics and ingredients?
How sweet should cornbread be? How sweet should iced tea be?
What is a REAL hot dog?
Also, I've got this great recipe which starts out by boiling the ribs...

Quite true: Until someone explained that "merkin" was slang for "American," the only definition I knew for that word was "pubic wig."
Disconcerted me a bit, the way the word was being thrown around...
