Hold on thar, pilgrim. I don't remember casting any such aspersions. In fact, I seem to remember saying only *nice* things, unless you count my mildly sarcastic suggestion that it's an error to suggest that all Americans have exactly the same eating habits. > > FWIW I have a Jar of Jalapeno Jelly in my fridge...

Ah....now *there's* a Good Thing. Next time you have a pork chop that needs a little attention, take a tablespoon or two of the abobo, and rub it all over the thing.

All we could get for a while. You'll be glad to hear we don't go through a lot of it, except when some adventurous houseguest finds it on the table, and applies it to his toast as though it were strawberry jam. The Vegemite goes a bit more quickly, though I don't leave it unprotected on the table. Stuff costs about $7 a jar. I seem to remember a backlash when Vegemite was bought by Kraft Foods -- someone was threatening to produce something called Aussiemite, or some such. Anything come of it? -- Dan
