====================
 JW> How strong, or should I say weak, is American lite beer?
 JW> Here, lite beer is 4.0%, regular beer 5.0-5.5%, dry ale and ice beer
 JW> 5.6-6.1% (even though they taster lighter) and premium or strong
 JW> beer 7-8% or higher.

I don't think there's a set percentage; the name Lite (or lite)
as refers to beer is a trademark from the Miller Brewing Company.

Beer Advocate, realbeer.com. and beer100.com all have charts saying
that all the major light (or Lite) brands run to about 4.2, whereas
their heavier counterparts have 4.5 to 5, an insubstantial difference.

 JW> Who brought the venison?
 ML> I think that Don [...]bartered it
 JW> Good for him for sharing!

I agree and felt slightly guilty for having taken a quarter pound
bag of the stuff (probably 2-3x that in original meat weight).

 JW> More bacon stuff from Dave's blog...
 JW> Title: Breaded Luncheon Bacon

Interestingly enough, Clean Dave and I batter-fried some
bacon many years ago, before the Internet fad (meme they
call it) caught on. We liked it, though he didn't like it
enough so it didn't make him bilious afterward.

 BF> This is probably a wierd, low class topic for a Cooking Echo
 JW> Not really. Burgers are a pretty hot topic everywhere these days,
 JW> just like bacon. And fast food reviews are common here too.

But it's a cooking echo, not a manufacturing echo.

 BF> I like small, thin fries.
 JW> They are the best.

But not straws, which tend to have no flavor at all except that
imparted by the grease.

 JW> Well done old man. Watch the slippery slope though. Next it'll be
 JW> scratch biscuits, then grinding wheat berries for fresh flour, then
 JW> organic wheat farming in your back yard.

Don't discourage him! Let him fall down that slippery slope
unhindered.
