Oh, well, then, you could do that lots of places. I was
tickled when I went to Hooters to see Dom Perignon on the
menu - for $100 a bottle, less than the retail store price.
Of course, it would be served with plastic glasses, just
for a hoot, one supposes.

Not old money, but old farts!

Thank you to the culinary schools, of which, our Montreal experience
notwithstanding, there are many good ones. The graduates have to go
someplace, after all.

 JW> Title: La Suan Tang - a hot and sour soup
 JW> Categories: Chinese, Soups, Spice, Eggs
 JW> Yield: 4 Servings
 JW> 2    Eggs
 JW> 1 t  Salt
 JW> 2 T  Soy sauce
 JW> 1/2 t  5-Spice powder
 JW> 1 T  Cornstarch in
 JW> 1 c  Water
 JW> 2 pt Stock
 JW> 3 T  Vinegar
 JW> White pepper

What's the source of this one? I hope you didn't
make it up. The five-spice and white pepper won't
make anything "la" unless you grossly overused
the latter. Anyhow, it looks way too plain and way
