It's fairly spicy -- when he first asked for a bite of Dan's, we figured the spiciness would turn him off of it, but he loved it.

I guess the worst I ever had to put up with was being in a diner in New Hampshire and finding out that, when you're used to salsa with your eggs, ketchup and black pepper *really* don't cut it. I can't stand canned green beans. I want mine fresh or frozen. (Frozen are somewhat easier, don't have to wash them or cut them at any point along the way, so that's what I tend to do, but my mother-in-law was fixing fresh ones when she was visiting, and that was a nice treat for me.) > Spice Girl Maru ;) Have you been around any time I posted the taco soup recipe? :) Julia ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l

(I wasn't weaned yet the only > time I was in > Scotland, for one thing) Several years ago I had to go to Scotland to look at some radiology equipment. I went with a colleague who is in love with all things Scotish. He ran around until he found a cd of "Donny keep your trowser's on". We had dinner with a couple of his sailing buddies. The vendor was paying so usually you get taken to a great place. We were in a dive; a dive however with the largest collection of single malts in all of Glasgow. My friend tried them all (I am not a scotch drinker so I had to content myself with warm beer). But one thing was missing; haggis. It was out of season we were told with great formality and one only has real haggis in season. But we did find some in the airport shop and my friend enthusiastically told me we would have it upon our return to the US. I was thrilled (not). But luck was on my side. When we got to US customs they would not let the haggis in. Customs said that it was not properly packed. I think that they just don't let it in because it is, well, haggis ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
