Some guy named Bulger. I met his brother a few times.

OK as a fizzy drink is hardly OK. And paying wine prices for
grapeade doesn't strike me as exceptionally wise.

 GJ> 1/4 c  Fresh-grated Pecorino-Romano
 GJ> 1/4 c  Fresh-grated Parmigiano

I'm guessing the original used all Pecorino, but that
was too nasty for civilized palates. I'd use all Parm,
myself, if I used cheese at all.

 GJ> 1/4 c  De-alcoholized wine; (opt)

You know, it really isn't the same as heated
regular wine - for one thing, the wine used is
fairly nasty, as who cares about its quality,
anyway? It's "wine," innit?

As I recall fooddownunder was a site that stole recipes
and took away the attribution. I presume Dave got the
recipe from the site before MMing it?

Mmm. Another crime. But I note that one of our American
companies has peanut-butter-jelly sandwiches built according
to the same specifications.

I'd suggest that McDonalds might want to remove its entire
self from Australia, which would do far more good than some
cosmetic getting-rid-of-the-food-bugaboo-of-the-day.

useful

could be useful

useless

useful

potentially useful, but less so

potentially useful
