 JW> Naw! Anchovies are yummy too.

 JW> See!

When I order Schnitzel, I usually ask for without anchovies;
the one exception was in Finland, where the fish came in the
form of a fist-sized chunk of anchovy butter, most of which
I gave away to Benita for her mashed taters.

 JW> every place is like that now. It's the times we live in. Even Rae
 JW> Edzo, NWT has a Chinese place and Cobden, Ont (pop 900) has a Greek
 JW> one.

And I see that one goes through Rae and/or Edzo on the way
to YK. How interesting would it be for it to be a Chinese
customer at that restaurant!

 JW> I don't think the term "baby beef" has any legal meaning but I think

 JW> it lacks all the goodness of both real veal and real beef and little
 JW> merit.

The only place I ever saw it sold was in Texas: I figure that
back in the day, the older farmers acquired a taste for it, and
in the 1960s it was still to be found in the supermarket, probably
to appease that taste.

 JW> Are you guys serious about this Feb? If so, I'll plan accordingly.

Not this Feb, as I'm already in Arkansas and then going to Munich;
further, the award seat availability to foreign destinations is
limited, and one usually has to book 330 days in advance.

 JW> I am so happy that Neekha has seen a caribou gutted and butchered,

Has she scaled fish? I didn't learn how to do that until I
was many decades old. Can you get muktuk in February?

 > Hong Kong, Singapore, Pulau Ubin or Bintan, Tokyo.
 JW> Sounds fantastic. I look forward to the pending full report.

Hong Kong and Tokyo were blow-throughs; spent most of the time
in Singapore (actually, Pulau Ubin is part of Singapore, so all
of the time). I could have broken the trip for a day in one of
those cities, but there didn't seem to be the vital need to do
so (and it would have cost me the princely sum of US$200 plus
accommodation). We were going to spend a couple days in Malacca
or Jakarta, but my friend Steve wanted to show my friend Lori and
me hidden treasures in Singapore, plus there were other friends
who just wanted to party in town. And with the Soeharto thing,
one wondered what would happen if the guy keeled over (though
not president any more, he was still the most powerful man in
the country since Sukarno).
