Most of the time appropriate. Speaking of which, I was at the
original National Air and Space Museum today, and there was
this Russian rocket labelled "Pioneer 10" (in Russian). I am
sure that no Russian would fall for this kind of disinformation,
but there it was.

Fo sho. Speaking of which, I did the game on "fer sher," and
after a few iterations including Gujarati it retranslated into
English as "part." Another try involving Macedonian got the
result "lion." Of course, everything Macedonian translates into
"lion."

In fact truth. He has no musical talent.

To me that would be radical!

      Title: Turkey and Rocket Salad with Macadamias
 Categories: Salads, Poultry
      Yield: 4 servings

      1    Bunch of rocket, discarding              Salt & pepper to taste
           The coarse stem ends              100 ml Macadamia oil
      1 sm Soft lettuce                       50 ml White wine vinegar
    250 g  Macadamia nuts                      1 lb Turkey, sliced
      2 cl Garlic, chopped                          Chives

      Turkey meat, which tends to be dry, benefits particularly from this
  macadamia dressing, but any roast poultry meat you have left over can be
  used instead. Another soft lettuce can stand in for the rocket (arugula) if
  you simply can't obtain the latter, but it won't provide the delicate,
  savoury flavour. Macadamia oil can now be obtained in some supermarkets.
      Arrange the leaves on four plates.

      Heat 250 g macadamia nuts in an ungreased container in the oven until
  they smell appetizing, then set half aside and tip the other half into the
  bowl of a food processor. Add: 2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped. With salt
  and pepper process to a paste.
   With the food processor.running, slowly add 100 ml macadamia oil, then 50
  ml white wine vinegar.

      Slice or shred enough turkey for four people and gently loss it in the
  macadamia salad.

      Arrange the dressed turkey on the prepared plates, drizzle left-over
  dressing over the salad leaves, Sprinkle with reserved macadamia nuts,
  roughly chopped, and finely chopped chives. Serve.

     A few extra chillies would give this salad a lot more punch.
