 JW> My sampling came up with just 2 of the world's inhabitants.

 DS> Your results are invalid because you did not extrapolate.  My sample
 DS> was me, Michael, and you.  Two-thirds of my sample enjoy blue food,
 DS> therefore it is obvious that two-thirds of the world's inhabitants 
 DS> would enjoy it as well.  My results only get stronger if I add your
 DS> grandchildren to my sample: then I can extrapolate to 80% of the

 DS> Strooth.  It was never called "blue raspberry" when I was a kid, just
 DS> "blue gelati."  Not until years later, when it started showing up in

I did some googling and it appears that the centre of the blue gelati
universe is NYC. I guess it made it to New England but didn't spread as
far as Canada; I haven't encountered it in Italian places in Ottawa or
Edmonton. Mind you I've never searched it out either.

 JW> On another food front: Chloe is becoming a militant vegetarian

 DS> I'm glad Neekha is resisting.  It is not at all fair to allow one 
 DS> member of the family to dictate the dietary choices of all.  

 DS> Also, remind Chloe that pork is a vegetable. [g]

It turns out that meat is cooked and served at meals when Chloe is not
present (which is quite often as she is 16 years old and has an active
social life) and that there are still cold cuts in Neekha's lunch
sandwiches. She does tend to exaggerate a bit when she is in full rant
mode.

She had supper with me last night and we had smoked jerky for an
appetizer, steaks with bacon garnishes and mashed potatoes with pan
gravy. The size of the steak she ate would make you and Michael proud.
