  Well, I don't know if capsaicin (one
of the 'hot' chemicals in peppers) crosses the
placenta or makes it whole into breast milk (I do know
that certain chemicals in frex broccoli *do* wind up
in milk), but AFAIK it's unusual for toddlers to like
spicy food, so -- maybe!  Sounds like a potential
research project to me...

It sounds like Sammy's favorite lunch is a somewhat cleaner version of 
"dirty rice" -- it's rice, red beans, spicy sausage, and some pepper, red 
and green.  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.

Wonder if my having eaten lots of Tex-Mex during pregnancy and lactation 
had anything to do with it?  :)

Blegh.

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.)

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

Yahoo! News   Tue, Nov 25, 2003 
By REBECCA COOK, Associated Press Writer
SEATTLE - A new Turkey and Gravy Soda tastes, well, pretty much like you 
would imagine. But that's not stopping people from buying it.

Even the producers of the Thanksgiving-themed beverage at Jones Soda Co. 
were surprised by the demand. They sold out all 6,000 bottles online within 
about two hours last week.

"To be honest, we really didn't think so many people would want it," said a 
Michelle Whitehead, marketing assistant at the Seattle-based premium soda 
company that has a reputation for quirky flavors.

Founder and CEO Peter van Stolk dreamed up the seasonal flavor on a lark, 
but admits he can't stomach an entire bottle.

The liquid's ominous, murky brown color accurately warns consumers about 
the taste. The first sips bring a mix of sweet caramel and savory lard and 
it's downhill from there.

A limited number of Turkey & Gravy Sodas will be available in stores around 
Seattle and Olympia for the suggested retail price of 99 cents. A few 
entrepreneurs are selling theirs on eBay.com; by Tuesday, the bidding was 
up to $63 for a two-bottle set.

Mary Turner, a radio DJ in Lansing, Mich., who is auctioning off a bottle 
for charity, has sampled the drink and warns that it's not for the faint of 
stomach: "If you roasted a turkey and mashed potatoes, put it in a blender, 
left it out for three days and then poured it into a Jones bottle, you'd 
know exactly what this drink tastes like!"

The company, founded in 1996, plans to donate proceeds from sales of Turkey 
& Gravy Soda to the Toys for Tots charity, and van Stolk said he will 
personally match the donation.
