Why, thank you. I hope it was convincing; I do admit I like to think of myself as a man of almost bewilderingly broad range.

It doesn't always work. But, hey. Easy come, easy go.

Re: Good Irish cookbooks
Thanks for that list Davy, I appreciate it. I did think there was something fishy with that Betty O'Crockers book and some others. I just thought that some of them had weird senses of humor.

Re: Good Irish cookbooks
With regard to Lutheran cuisine, I'm with Garrison Keillor in that I really don't want a green bean casserole with Campbell's cream of mushroom soup. Nor do I want jello salad. Regardless of my polite suggestions, my wife thinks that both of these dishes are elegant cuisine suitable for serving to our house guests.
Re: Good Irish cookbooks
I don't see why not as long as the green beans have French's fried onions on top, that makes 'em classy. I prefer agar agar for dessert as you can take the left-overs home and grow stuff.Doug_Tipple wrote:With regard to Lutheran cuisine, I'm with Garrison Keillor in that I really don't want a green bean casserole with Campbell's cream of mushroom soup.

That is an outrageous misrepresentation. The Germans did not even attempt humour until well into the 20th century.MikeS wrote:Donning my flame retardant suit after placing my tongue firmly in cheek:

Weren't the Saxe-Coburg and Gotha in England before the 20th century? That's a fairly long joke.Anyanka wrote:That is an outrageous misrepresentation.

Re: Good Irish cookbooks
Sometimes it's been a hindrance to me. I had a fellow chiffer for a visit once, in person, and he allowed he could never tell when I was being serious or not. He said I get this "Grandpa voice" and that it sounds like I'm telling stories even when I'm not.Nanohedron wrote:He has a very dry sense of humor, and it helps to be familiar with it.
