Except that you almost never CAN strip the meat off the bone in one bite when eating a wing, and it's not easier to eat. I like wings, but those seem like strange arguments for wings over drums.

That's right. Didn't these stockers used to work at night? Now it seems as though they're there at any and all times. At least, I now know that it's not an innovation decided on by just my local store.

For improved taste and for less sodium, give Spam Lite a try, folks.

My "research" suggests that it's a dessert, although the popularity of this dessert has led to it being used more and more as part of a main course, by itself as a snack, or at any other time the server chooses. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/invention-of-gelatin-jello

That's probably right. However, I am now convinced that if you or I decide to buy franks at the grocery store for preparing at home, it really is worth paying more to get the best ingredients. I say that with reference to the taste, it is not a comment about the wisdom of eating hot dogs at all.

People think brown eggs are better. They're often sold from roadside stands and rural residences, both of which convey the idea that the seller is in a better position to know about this than the grocery store is. Then too, the color brown just seems heartier than the white alternative, when...

FWIW, I think that's right. Most people don't think of a buffet at a wedding reception as something done "on the cheap." But on the other hand a buffet minimizes the chances of a guest being stuck with a meal that isn't what he expected, and the guests have the fun of seeing all the choices in...

I can't see any logic in expecting anybody in a dinner party to share his food, period. And ordering an appetizer is nothing special. Besides, it's an appetizer! Sharing an appetizer would mean that the guy ordering it wouldn't get to have much of it himself.

I know what you mean about that! Is there some special date on which you treat yourself annually to the frappuccino?

I wonder if very many people still do put any cream or sugar in their coffees? When I was a kid, they all did so, and taking it "black" was something of an odd, rather macho, thing to do. Now, though, there seem to be few people who don't take it black. Mainly, I think, that's because it's...

Love it.

As concerns the goings-on in New Orleans, yes. However, the day before Ash Wednesday has long been an important event among the historic Christian churches, although not by that particular name (Fat Tuesday). That term only became common throughout the USA in recent years. Previously, and still...

It's quite obvious, isn't it? The opponents of freedom of religion are determined to harass this man out of business, keeping him in court forever, costing him all sorts of money, and that they will continue to think up ways to make each alleged grievance of theirs be just enough different from...

I find that I tend to stock up for the future, which I never felt any need to do previously. That is to say, if it's something I know I will be using forever and for which there is not a good substitute (my favorite brand of coffee, for instance), I'll buy a number of packs (and for sure if it...

Top notch, in other words! Congratulations. I don't buy any other brand.

Yes, yes, to the importance of the syrup and butter. But still...I don't eat pancakes too often. I really am not very interested in them, even though I'll eat them if they're served and I'll be satisfied with the meal. But as for waffles...I really do like a good waffle!

I also saw that listing and thought that it was not very convincing. Most of the analyses were based on some single gripe that the survey chose to make into its whole case against the restaurant, and no matter what anybody thinks of McDonald's, placing them dead last was ridiculous.

I've about decided that the best approach is to find one or two items on the menu of any of these places...and then order that when you are hungry. Avoid getting more items or experimenting too much with what else is on the menu. Incidentally, there is a great variance between the different...

My guess is also that some local, non-chain store, pizzeria is the favorite of most people.

Left sitting on the grocer's shelf.
