 CS> I do, but they have some odd ones.  Some are real basic folks who

 I meant more for the exotic ingredients many here cannot get, not
 on the nutritional equivalents. That's why I used galingal/ginger
 as an example. The ginger might not be authentic but it would be
 close. Or you might explain gobo as burdock root and suggest
 something else like another root vegetable we get here that people
 could get easily (I haven't tried gobo, so don't know if it's a
 bit like carrots, parsnips, daikon (now often obtainable, not
 always), turnips, or, well, you get the idea.

 I'd meant to, but ran out of room! Let's see if it fits here.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

      Title: Hot German Potato Salad
 Categories: Vegetables, Salad
      Yield: 6 Servings

      4 ea Potatoes
      4 ea Slices of bacon, diced

    1/2 c  Water

  remove from skillet and set aside. Add to bacon drippings the
  vinegar, water, sugar, mustard; bring to boil. Add the onion to the

  its crispness. Add parsley, bacon bits, salt and pepper to the
