I'd not be surprised to be wrong... ;)

It was a trick question. Arnold Palmer never won all the
majors. Eddie Arcaro, an avid golfer, won all the majors
in his own sport (horse racing), twice.

Figured it would be a trick question, actually.... and now that you mention it, the name /does/ ring a bell in the racing context... ;) Didn't know he was an avid golfer also...

It was reported that he was madder for golf than he
was for horse racing.

Shows how much attention I pay to sports.... ;)

He was, however, not so good at golf as he was
at horse racing.

I guess we're all of an age where memento mori
stampedes us into whatever nastiness the health nut du
jour tells us to fall into, making us chicken, I
suppose. I of course ended up eating most of the beef.

Had I been there, I'd probably have helped you with the beef... (G)
Were all the chicken dishes made with white meat chicken, too...? I
don't think I'd be so easily stampeded into the nastiness... more
likely into the might as well have what I like and enjoy what time I
have left... ;)

All white meat. I don't know where the dark meat went.
You'll wonder where the dark meat went when you
cook your bird with Pepsodent. In roti canai, it can be
just about any protein minced up, so it doesn't matter;
in the shrimp cakes, the chicken was a surprise, no doubt
caused by cost-cutting. In the other dishes, the chicken
had been velveted, so it wasn't too too bad - to do this
you cut the white meat kind of irregularly and soak it in
an alkaline solution, usually egg white, then water- or
oil-blanch it to get the tenderizing reaction going.
Finally you fish it out and use it in your stir-fry or
whatever you need it for.

Oh, I know.... not something I get often... I like the spicy orange
with beef and scallops better than with chicken, though I don't get that very often either... we aren't going to that sort of place very often,
for one thing.... :)

good, but just not somewhere to go out of our way for.

Thinking on it, the place I went with MG and Juanita might have had that
as an offering, there were so many choices, I don't think I paid
attention to all of them.... something to look for if I end up there again.... ;)

I usually try to get a dish that, even if not
authentic, is something that the cooks will know how
to make without relying on too many sauces from a
55-gallon drum (as Nicholas used to call them). I am
suspicious of orange chicken/beef/scallops/whatever
unless I make it myself.

broccoli florets to garnish...

Also, the broccoli one gets in China typically
doesn't have flowering heads.

So less of a garnish and more of a veggie....

It's less garnishy and less sightly as well, with
spindly stalks and teeny little heads and prominent
leaves (sometimes).

And better as an incorporated veggie than as a garnish.... :)

You know how they use florets of head broccoli
arranged in a circle around your main dish?
Chinese broccoki, which is like broccoli rabe
only weedier, just plain would not do for that.
One could lay the stems in a line parallel to
the protein, tough.

Nowadays with the cost of veggies being what it
is, that rule could change.

Of course, meat is also getting more expensive....

Seems to me that greenery is increasing in price
at a faster rate, though.

The Koreans certainly wouldn't use the Japanese
term, as the two populations hate each other so much.

Locally, that antagonism seems to have mellowed... Of course, I'm pretty
sure that the proprietors of Seoul House belong to the Korean
Presbyterian Church in town, so that might be a factor in their
outlook... :)

You have to go to one of the countries in question
to see the full depth of the animosity.

Sounds like good signs all.

We figured so as well... part of why we decided to go there a second
time, so long after our first try... :)

And when will the third time be?

No idea. Lots of other places to choose from, often ones we are heading
to as we pass by... ;)

Plus you have to go to Taste of Japan several
times for each one visit to the other places.

I remember liking the Cran-Blue a lot, too... and sorry when it vanished from the shelves all too soon...

So strange. And then one of the store brands came
out with a version that, though it wasn't as good,
sold pretty well.

I don't think I saw that so not likely Wegmans... unless they put apple
in it, which would have been an instant nope...

How about malic acid (an apple derivative)?

Ocean Spray strawberry-flavored Craisins - this was a giant
why bother. The strawberry flavor was woefully artificial
and warred with any natural cranberriness one might expect
of Craisins. Very sugary, so only the most self-deceiving
health nut would imagine any real benefit from these.

I'll not bother with either of those flavored Craisins... ;)

Unless they are free or somehow else fall into your lap.

Pretty much... and then probably only for the tasting... ;)

... What the Hell is "substitute cheddar cheese type flavor"?

It's perhaps what they'd feed a gourmet in hell or
your average citizen in heaven.

No, in heaven it would be the real thing... no inferior substitutes
allowed there.... :)

Actually, in any heaven I'd try to enter there would be
general equality. But ...

So there are the gates of Heaven, and the Pope, a lawyer,
and a minister are welcomed in, and St. Peter is driving
the shuttle bus to their new quarters and tells them to hop
in. So as they're riding to their new homes for all eternity,
St. Peter says, by way of making conversation, what did you
do back down on earth? And the Pope says, I led the flock
that you founded through thick and thin, for twenty years,
and there was never a breath of scandal during my reign.
And St. Peter says, of course, I recognize you now. Here's
your new home, and it's a palace that makes the Taj Mahal
look like small potatoes. So off he goes, and St. Peter
turns to the second guy, and he says, I understand you were
a lawyer, right? And St. Peter says, here you are, and
stops in front of an estate that makes the Pope's palace
look like small potatoes. And the lawyer jumps off and goes
to his new home. so the minister thinks, wow, that goes to
show how far the Catholics have fallen since the old days,
where a lawyer gets a fancier place than the Pope. So
they're driving along, and presently they stop in front
of this pleasant bucolic little cottage with a little
waterfall out back, and it's pretty in a modest way. And
St. Peter says, here's your new home, enjoy. The minister is
a little taken aback, and he says, The Pope I understsnd.
But why does that lawyer deserve such royal treatment, and I
get this (admittedly nice) little cottage, that is barely
big enough for my wife (when she arrives) and me? St. Peter
shrugs and replies, we have plenty of ministers up here,
but Popes are a bit of a rarity. But we had to do something
extra special for the lawyer, because in over 2000 years,
we've never had one of those before.

I'll take your word for it... :)

All white meat. I don't know where the dark meat went.
You'll wonder where the dark meat went when you

There's a non sequitor I might have used.... (G)

In roti canai, it can be just about any protein minced up,
so it doesn't matter; in the shrimp cakes, the chicken was
a surprise, no doubt caused by cost-cutting.

Oh, well...

In the other dishes, the chicken
had been velveted, so it wasn't too too bad - to do this
you cut the white meat kind of irregularly and soak it in
an alkaline solution, usually egg white, then water- or
oil-blanch it to get the tenderizing reaction going.
Finally you fish it out and use it in your stir-fry or
whatever you need it for.

It's still white meat, though... Agreed that the velveting should help
some, though....

Oh, I know.... not something I get often... I like the spicy orange
with beef and scallops better than with chicken, though I don't get that very often either... we aren't going to that sort of place very often, for one thing.... :)

good, but just not somewhere to go out of our way for.

Thinking on it, the place I went with MG and Juanita might have had that
as an offering, there were so many choices, I don't think I paid
attention to all of them.... something to look for if I end up there again.... ;)

I usually try to get a dish that, even if not
authentic, is something that the cooks will know how
to make without relying on too many sauces from a
55-gallon drum (as Nicholas used to call them). I am
suspicious of orange chicken/beef/scallops/whatever
unless I make it myself.

Dunno about this place.... might be worth one try.... don't have to
repeat the mistake if it turns out so to be... ;)

broccoli florets to garnish...

doesn't have flowering heads.

Seems to me that greenery is increasing in price
at a faster rate, though.

Might be... especially in years of bad growing seasons and harvests...

The Koreans certainly wouldn't use the Japanese
term, as the two populations hate each other so much.

Locally, that antagonism seems to have mellowed... Of course, I'm pretty sure that the proprietors of Seoul House belong to the Korean
Presbyterian Church in town, so that might be a factor in their

Plus you have to go to Taste of Japan several
times for each one visit to the other places.

Not quite that bad... but can be close... ;) Taste of Japan does tend
to be a default when one isn't up to making decisions... ;)

I remember liking the Cran-Blue a lot, too... and sorry when it vanished from the shelves all too soon...

So strange. And then one of the store brands came
out with a version that, though it wasn't as good,
sold pretty well.

I don't think I saw that so not likely Wegmans... unless they put apple
in it, which would have been an instant nope...

How about malic acid (an apple derivative)?

Not sure about that... possibly it isn't an issue, along with the apple
cider vinegar as an ingredient... High on the list, or too frequently,
I'd probably be particularly careful....

... What the Hell is "substitute cheddar cheese type flavor"?

It's perhaps what they'd feed a gourmet in hell or
your average citizen in heaven.

No, in heaven it would be the real thing... no inferior substitutes
allowed there.... :)

Actually, in any heaven I'd try to enter there would be

True, the real thing for everybody... status no longer being a factor anymore.... ;)

But ... So there are the gates of Heaven, and the Pope, a lawyer,
