I am reasonably happy with my Coke Zero - so, other than trying a test sample

It's just the "suthren" drawl that stretches the pronunciation of "R" to two
syllables that's unique. All the southerners I used to hang out with (mostly in
Tennessee) said the full "Ar Uh Cee Co Cola" and when speaking of Coca Cola
nearly always called it "dope" - stemming, I suppose, from the original days
when it truly had coca (cocaine) as part of the formula.

I don't give two hoots in h3!! what the owners of any food establishment stand
for politically or religiously - so long as the food is decent. I only went to
Chick Fil A the one time as I deemed the grub to be low average and not worth
the trouble when there are so many place with better food at the same price
point. One of my favourite casual restaurants (Sgt. Pepper's Cafe) is owned by
a Palestinian named Ziyad Samara. And other than twitting him about being an
Israeli (he is from Jerusalem) I have never enquired as to his religion and
whether worships (if he does) at a mosque or a chapel.

  Hebrew names given in []

  1) Use only fresh meat, not frozen. Internal parts may be of chicken,
  turkey or beef, unless noted. The more variation, the better.

  2) Leave the meat unrefrigerated for at least an hour. Let it reach
  room temperature.

  3) Use a very very hot griddle, preheated and oiled.

  4) Grill meat and spices, stirring from time to time. Lower the heat
  as needed to cook the meat thoroughly, rising it again periodically
  to char it.

  5) When the meat is done, fill the pita bread with meat, amba
  (chutney) and additions abundantly. The pita should be really stuffed.
