============================
 MM> 7X flavour (use 2oz of flavour to 5 gals syrup)
 JW> Once you figure out this part, you'll be rich.
 ML> 7X (Top SeekrutTM) flavoring
 JW> If that's the real formula, then I guess it's not a secret anymore.

It's said to be reasonably close. It's from a wikirecipe
and may asymptotically approach the real thing.

 JW> A very modest amount (equal to or less than the celery) of fennel is
 JW> nice with pink oily fish.

I don't care for it in the context; nor do I prefer dill.
Of course, I revel in the oiliness of said fish and would
butter it in preference to any of these sissy dilutions
and contrasts.

 ML> Clam or cod, butter, milk and cream, broth,
 ML> salt, pepper, that's it, maybe potatoes
 JW> I would almost always add onion and celery.
 
The true far northerner (in US context) might dispute that;
I suppose in southern Massachusetts and Rhode Island one
might come upon onion; celery creeps in farther south. I've
been known to add them as well, but then I'm an infidel.

 ML> I was going to suggest, for variety, sherry, only it's there.
 JW> I sometimes use a dry white or vermouth. I can taste sherry in my
 JW> mind and yes that would be nice too. The recipe that called for a
 JW> dry red of course sucks badly.

That's weird. Must have been a further perversion of a
red chowder (which sensible people realize intrinsically
suck loudly and aren't chowder anyhow, even if they are
cooked in an ancient French iron kettle).

 JW> Speaking of messing with the classics, nuoc mam in Brunswick stew?
 JW> Title: Big Heat's Brunswick Stew
 JW> 1/2 c  Nuoc mam

Gives a facsimile of the original spoiled taste, I reckon.

 ML> There's been this standing joke for years about the
 ML> homeless man who comes in and steals food in the night.
 ML> Used to be that Bill played that role; then we both did
 ML> for a while; now it's just me.
 JW> And now you're technically homeless so you play the part well.

This month I'm homeless in Brussels, Danvers, Phoenix, Revere,
San Diego, Washington, and Williamsport, flying some 25000
miles for the privilege - enough to circle the globe, and
approximately equal to the distance the average US person
flies in a lifetime. The total cost is about what I'd pay
for room and board if I'd kept my apartment.
