:::::::::::::::::::::::: FOOD FUNNY ::::::::::::::::::::::::
It has been a while since we tested the old World Wide Recipes
Groan-O-Meter (know as the Groan-O-Metre in the UK). This one from
"Kayenoble" ought to test its limits: :
In Boston, two chefs were competing for the title of "Finest Fish
Fryer." Their talents were about equal and their dishes excellent, so
it was a close race until, at the last minute, one of the chefs glazed
his entry and won the title. "Alas!" said the other with a sigh.
"There but for the glaze of cod go I."
