======================
 ml-> But comparison between Ozzie and New Yorker Cheddars of the
 ml-> same age would be apt and interesting
 BF> A nice picnic taste out, along with Vermont, Canadian Cheddar, etc.?
 
Fun, if we could get, say, Ozzie, NZ, NY, Vermont, Wisconsin,
and Canadian Cheddars of the same age. Oh, yes, and how about
the real thing?

 ml-> You're precious, Ford.
 BF> Precious:  great value; moral quality; beloved; excessively delicate 
 BF> or nice; flagrant; gross: a precious fool; a dearly beloved person.
 BF> Hmmmm.  I was gonna ask which, but I'm not so sure I want to know. 
 BF> Guess I'll play the odds and pass.   [grin]

How about "gross"? Nah. Flagrant?

 ml-> How about fool you three times?
 BF> [grin]  More fun.

Okay. I was near the corner of White Lake Lane and route 16,
Madison Lake, MN, Flight Level 200, when I wrote that. Near
the corner of Cypress and South Dixieland, Rogers, AR, elevation
approximately zero, when I uploaded it. And now, near the
corner of Beech Tree and route 190, Bethesda, MD, elevation
approximately 10 ft AGL.

 BF> Speaking of which, lately I have been getting take out of Chow Mei 
 BF> Fun.   It's great, but nothing like the Chow Fun below.  It's a 
 BF> pretty simple dish and it's now one of my favorites. 
 BF> The Chow Mei Fun features very thin, spaghetti shaped noodles, instead
 BF> of rice as in the Chow Fun, below.   It has various and sundry small 
 BF> bits of veggies and stuff.  Usually I get the Singapore version -
 BF> spicy chicken, shrimp and Roast pork.
...
 BF> What difference does the word "Mei" make?  Is that just the word
 BF> for thin noodles?

Funny thing is that fun means noodles and fan means rice. Mei I believe
means derived from raw rice or rice flour, though, as opposed to rice
as a dish. I think there's a dialectal and/or tonal issue as well to
determine who means what where.

 BF> because I used carrots for emphasis] 
 ml-> I don't know about /you/, but <I>I</I> use sticks for emphasis.
 BF> Again with the carrots.
