Ärende: another stupid law suit
===============================
-=> Quoting Dave Drum to Jim Weller <=-

 JW> Nutella...

 JW> In her statement of claim, Ms. Hohenberg says she was "shocked to
 JW> learn" from friends "that Nutella was in fact not a 'healthy,'
 JW> 'nutritious' food but was instead the next best thing to a candy
 JW> bar."

Did the bimbo ever taste it before feeding it to her kids? Or read
the label? 

 DD> Taco Bell only uses 35 percent real beef, lawsuit claims

This is what Taco Bell has to say:

"Seasoned Ground Beef: Beef, Water, Seasoning [Isolated Oat Product,
Salt, Chili Pepper, Onion Powder, Tomato Powder, Oats (Wheat), Soy
Lecithin, Sugar, Spices, Maltodextrin, Soybean Oil (Anti-dusting
Agent), Garlic Powder, Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Citric Acid, Caramel
Color, Cocoa Powder (Processed With Alkali), Silicon Dioxide,
Natural Flavors, Yeast, Modified Corn Starch, Natural Smoke Flavor],
Salt, Sodium Phosphates."

So, not pure meat, but pretty much what you'd expect.

"The lawsuit is bogus and filled with completely inaccurate facts.
Our beef is 100% USDA inspected, just like the quality beef you
would buy in a supermarket and prepare in your home. It then is
slow-cooked and simmered with proprietary seasonings and spices to
provide Taco Bell's signature taste and texture. Our seasoned beef
recipe contains 88% quality USDA-inspected beef and 12% seasonings,
spices, water and other ingredients that provide taste, texture and
moisture. The lawyers got their facts wrong. We take this attack on
our quality very seriously and plan to take legal action against
them for making false statements about our products. There is no
basis in fact or reality for this suit and we will vigorously defend
the quality of our products from frivolous and misleading claims
such as this."

For once I'm on the side of big biz. Totally frivolous in both
cases.

 JW> Shoot the lawyers!

Now here's a truly meatless tortilla filling:

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Terrific Tofu Adovada
 Categories: Vegetarian, Tofu, Southwest, Chilies, Tortillas
      Yield: 8 Servings

      4 lb Firm tofu
      6 tb Flavored oil (peanut, sesame
    Or avocado)
      2 md Onions; chopped
      3    Cloves garlic; minced
      1 ts Oregano
      2 ts Ground coriander seed
      2 tb Honey
    1/3 c  New Mexican red chile
    Powder
    1/4 c  Ancho chile powder
      1 tb Chile caribe (such as piquin
    Or santaka)
      3 tb Sherry vinegar or rice wine
    1/4 c  Toasted pumpkin seeds
      1 tb Ground cinnamon
      2    Stock
    Salt; to taste
    Vegetable stock

  Place several layers of paper towels on a cookie sheet. Slice the
  tofu in half lengthwise and place the halves on the towels. Cover
  the tofu with several more layers of paper towels and another
  cookie sheet. Then put some heavy objects on the sheet to weight
  it down; heavy canned goods work well, and Todd suggests using
  your thick French cookbooks. Allow the tofu to sit for 20 minutes.
  Then cut it into 1/2 inch cubes.

  Heat the oil in the skillet, add the cubed tofu, and saute until
  golden brown. Set aside.

  Pour 1 cup of stock into a blender and add the rest of the
  ingredients, except for the remaining stock. Puree for a few
  seconds, add the stock, and blend again. Pour into a large bowl
  and gently mix in the sauteed tofu.

  Refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Then take the mixture out of the
  refrigerator and allow it to stand for 10 minutes.

  Pour the mixture into a deep saucepan and bring to a boil. Turn
  the heat down and simmer for one hour. Adjust seasonings and
  serve. Serves 6-8. Heat Scale: HOT

  Book says "this is a great way to still have a traditionally
  flavored New Mexican dish with the heat, but without the meat."
  This dish can be served with red chile sauce, served in a bowl, or
  used as a filling in flour tortillas for burritos. Serve it with a
  bowl of pinto beans or black beans and a big green salad.

  I served it in tortillas, rolled up and baked with a little cheese
  inside. Sort of a burrito. I put refried beans on the side and
  some potato salad.
