Yeah, it's really easy to create a fake profile, give your own place
a 5 star review and trash the competition.

The "services" claim that they vet reviews carefully.
As if. Luckily most of those seem to have been written
by robots (literally or figuratively), though a cleverly
written fake review may well get a lot of traffic in the
door, at least at first.

The Avenue of the Americas in New York has been officially that for
at least my lifetime, probably more, but nobody calls it that, it's
6th Avenue

107 Ave is more or less the same. The street signs have both names
on them but most people call it "seventh".

Contrast the case of Yonge Street, which is apparently
colloquilly called Main in the middle of Toronto?

"Pho Huang Vietnamese Beef Noodle House/Chinese Cuisine
Restaurant and Mama Pizza".

It's a great street to walk from one end to the other and sample
something small everywhere that looks interesting. Within a few blocks
you can find Chinese, Japanese, Cambodian, Vietnamese, various South
Asian, Somali, Ethiopian, various Middle Eastern, Salvadoran and
Mexican places along with pizza and donair shops and standard
Canadian including all day breakfast, vegetarian and barbecue.

One of those places where you can gain weight just standing
on the sidewalk.

I've been to Mexican places that use the stuff as if
it were a weed.

They spray it with Roundup to make it go away? [g]

One might wish.

Orangina is fine, but I've seen it only in tiny bottles, which is
fine for putting in drinks, but I could do a bottle in a second.

My store carries it in 16 oz and 2 litre sizes. President's Choice
orange soda is $0.99 for 2 litres, Orange Crush $1,99, Orangina $2.89
but San Pellegrino only comes in 330 ml (11 oz) bottles (11 oz) at
$1.49 each.

One would think that bad ideas would price themselves
out of the market, but no.

Keurig / no justification on this planet.

I have absolutely no use for them.

its one-use pods, is particularly egregious.

And from a purely selfish point of view the coffee is $50 per kg!

One would think that bad ideas would price themselves
out of the market, but no.

I'd say this recipe would be much better without
the marmalade.

MICHEL RICHARD'S ESCARGOT LASAGNA
Categories: shellfish, California, celebrity, main, Italianate
Servings: 4

12 pieces (3 x 2 1/2 in) flat green pasta, boiled and drained
1 carrot, peeled and chopped
1 c peeled, seeded and chopped tomato
2 cn (7 oz each) large escargots
1/2 lb veal sweetbreads
1 Tb butter
2 Tb minced shallots
1 Tb cream
1 pn anise seeds
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bearnaise sauce
1/4 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese

In a large saucepan combine carrot and 1/2 c tomato with
1 qt water. Bring to a boil, add the escargots and simmer
for 15 min. Add the sweetbreads and cook 15 min more.

Use a slotted spoon to transfer escargots and sweetbreads
to a bowl. Reserve 1/2 c of the cooking liquid.

Remove any membrane and gristle from the sweetbreads.
Chop the sweetbreads and escargots.

Heat the butter in a saucepan. Add the shallots and saute
until soft. Add the sweetbread-escargot mixture, cream,
anise seeds and salt and pepper to taste.

Place a square of cooked pasta on a serving plate. Add a
layer of the mixture, a layer of pasta, another layer of
mixture and a final layer of pasta. You now have created
a snail Napoleon.

Keep warm while creating three more Napoleons.

Spoon bearnaise sauce over each portion, sprinkle with
Parmesan and scatter remaining tomato chunks on the
plates as garnish.
