Oh, probably resolved enough from the back
office's point of view - as long as there's
sufficient geographical separation, and
people using one loyalty plan don't complain
about nontransportability, like, who cares?

I suppose that works... ;)

For them, anyway.

with, Stag's Leap Wine Cellars is different
from Stags' Leap Winery. Those two companies
had a massive trademark kerfuffle that put
the California wine industry on its ear,

Hopefully one could distinguish by the wines themselves, if it made any
real difference.... We had a similar thing with Bully Hill and Taylor
wines, locally... Also a kerfluffle where Steve Tahoe was constrained
from using his last name as part of his business, although related to
the original Nick... you may have noticed the signage says Steve T's
Hots (etc)....

Business is business. I'm not sure I like it.
It's like civil war.

Could be, but I'm saying only that if you like one
iteration of Weggie's brand sushi, that would create
a reasonable expectation that other examples would
also be good. And if there's substantial inconsistency,
it's more likely that the worse versions will be the
ones that stick in the public's memory.

You do have a point there.... :)

On the other hand, people say that there's no such
thing as bad publicity. On the other ither hand,
they're wrong.

Most of the ones we check out at buffet places are no better, sometimes worse, than "bait", to be sure....

And often the rice is terrible, too.

That almost goes without saying... the rice is often only so-so, even
when the fish is decent....

There was this movie called White Men Can't Jump.
It would have perhaps interested me if it had been
called "Non-Asians Can't Cook Rice."

The flavors are more intense when food is
not cold, as well.

OK. :)

Of course, there are foods that are best bolted
down freezing cold with as little contact with
the taste buds as possible.

But that wasn't the sort we were talking about.... :)

1. Sort of it was.

2. Whenever has that stopped us?

Pretty much never. It seemed to be mostly
obsessive recipe collectors, though there
seemed to be those who actually ate.

That latter is at least a step in the right direction... ;)

Well, of course all of them put alimentation
down their gullets. I was implying that some
of them showed no signs of having taste buds.

Right... and also that some of them did have taste buds after all... :)

Some. But the majority of those acknowledgedly
appalling recipes I post to make a point come
from there.

... If it's lush, green and thriving in the garden... it's a weed.

Thing is many weeds are edible and useful.

Granted... and, actually, I have a rather soft spot for most plants classified as weeds.... the more invasive ones, not so much... :)

Some of the more invasive ones are useful, too,
Kudzu has been mentioned here. And what are grains
if not grasses gone to seed?

The latter are cultivated at that point, so not exactly weeds... ;)

While we try to get rid of crabgrass in America
in parts of Africa crabgrass (fonio) is a staple
grain, and as forage it can produce a whopping
17 tons per acre. Crabgrass seed can be used as
a flour, couscous or as a grain, such as in
porridge or fermented for use in beer making.
Now that's a label I'd like to see: Crabgrass
Beer. Crabgrass is not only nutritious but one
of the world's fastest growing cereals,
producing edible seeds in six to eight weeks.
It grows well in dry areas with poor soils,
and fantastically in watered lawns. It/s a
horrible weed and a wonderful edible.

Probably about as accurate.... (G)

Well, we neither water our lawn, nor do we try to irradicate any
crabgrass that might be there... it just gets mown with the rest of the grasses.... ;) But it does look like it is worthy of cultivation... :)
