of Troy: Your servings were well done!

Swiss steak: something my Aunt Dale mastered (steak, green peppers, onion, tomato sauce--what's Swiss about this?)

And chop suey (Chinese inferred) isn't Chinese, or so I understand...

We call 'em brussels sprouts here. Is that incorrect? (If you pretend you're a giant eating cabbages whole, they're a lot more fun....)

And if you have a peg on your nose ...

They should probably be called "euros sprouts" these days to be PC. And there'll be a host of regulations about growing them, keeping them, selling them, buying them and preparing them ...

Re Brussels sprouts: One bit of Michigan lore my wife taught me was that Brussels sprouts are much nicer after the first frost. I have no idea why that is so, but on my Scout's honor it is true.
