I remember when I was about twelve, my mom started buying this concoction called 'Diet Pepsi' :D That's when they still used saccharine. I begged and pleaded for regular Coke. No deal. Horrible stuff...
If any objection is raised, I think it usually comes from those who may have had issues in the past. I'm abstinent for that reason. The first time I had wine at communion was after I was sober, so it was a bit of a shock to the system (sort of like taking a drink of water, forgetting you poured...
I did try a vegetarian diet for a few weeks some time ago (it was only an experiment). I was surprised at the flavors and different ingredients I could come up with. I was able to get pretty creative, as I recall.

"Be strong and quit yourselves like men, O ye Philistines, that ye be not servants unto the Hebrews, as they have been to you: quit yourselves like men, and fight. "(1 Sam. 4:9, KJV).
"Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong" (1 Cor. 16:13)

A little ham always seems to make it better, though (imho...)
Perfect on a Winter afternoon. Strange thing is that I've yet to find any north of the border. Have to go from scratch, I guess.
