 ML> about your assessment of this country, cite some of the better

 ML> Merriam-Webster. The Encyclopedia Brittanica (which, despite its
 ML> name, is an American product, has been for a century). Sheraton

Yes, your Mr Webster followed well in the footsteps of Samuel Johnson,
and it is a good thing that the British creation of EB has been kept going
by a US team.

 ML> hotels, one of whose subsidiaries has a Chief Beer Officer.

A title to be proud of.

 ML> Scott Kerkmans, chief beer officer for Four Points by Sheraton

A friend of yours?

 GJ> I have just heard on the radio that a butcher in Katherine, in the NT,

 GJ> commercial beef sausages.
 ML> That might say something for camel meat; on the other hand
 ML> it might say something about the quality of your snags.

As my eldest son will be marrying into the camel supplier's family in
November, I hope to get the chance to evaluate them at that time.
 
 ML> Oh yes, and the CIA.

Errrr, um, well, one of them.

Admittedly Australians do have to travel a lot further than Americans
to get their dose of culture; half-way around the world instead of just
across the Atlantic. This has resulted in the development of a sort of
DIY Australian "kolcha".

      Title: BFT Queen Anne's Broth
 Categories: British, Soups
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
 1 3/16 l  Chicken stock (2 pints)
      1    Onion, chopped
      1    Garlic clove
      2    Sprigs Parsley

           Pepper
 
  Queen Anne's broth, a deep golden chicken broth flavoured with herbs
  and spices, was taken every morning for breakfast by that large
  ailing lady. She believed, and it was thought to be true, that the
  broth was particularly wholesome and nourishing. In the summer you
  can add sorrel and shredded lettuce, as well as some of the more
  unusual herbs - purslane and borage, 'but green herbs do rob the
  strength and vigour of the potage'.
  
  Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer for 30 minutes,
  covered, to infuse the broth with all the delicate herbal and spicy
  savours.
  
  Strain and serve hot, with freshly made fingers of toast to dip into
  the soup. From: The British Food Trust Www.Greatb
