    I'll save a few pennies and a few calories by
    refraining from eating the sides altogether.
    I usually only have salad as a side at C-F-A or other such places.

    Or, as the other day, not eat anything at all.
    I'm not going to starve, so why eat anything
    unappealing just for ritual or habit?

    The term means different things to different
    people, but yes. I'm fond of most varieties,
    including the Central American kind that is
    grilled skin-on pork belly strips. But in that
    post I was referring to puffy deep-fried.
    OK, that sounds good also.

    In some country, maybe Colombia or one
    of the Central American little countries,
    they totally misunderstand the term and
    just give you fried slices of pork.

    According to encyclopedia.com, 1904.

    I thought he was somewhat after that.
    Just checked--"The Jungle" was written in 1904, published in 1906. That
    was the one that really exposed the meat packing industry. IIRC, the FDA
    came about because of conditions written about in that book.

    Sounds about right. Muckraking is and was a
    perfectly respectable occupation.

    Yes, but still quite the broad "ah" accent.

    An outlander might note the commonalities,
    while a local would get his/her hackles up
    by lesser sibbolets.

    Little dogs have no appeal for her. I think she
    still thinks of herself as the vibrant young
    horsewoman of 30-40-50-60.
    We'd like to think of younger selves; reality is, we ain't! It's hitting
    me hard with the knee, knowing the only thing that can help now is total replacement.

    At least you too can get bionicized.

    I always liked Centura more than Corelle,
    but the popularity of microwaves extincted
    the former.
    Got to go with what the people want. We were at an outlet mall a few
    weeks ago, thought we'd check out the Corning Ware store. Got there and
    the shelves were almost bare--they were going out of business. Wonder if
    all of them are, or just that particular one; we didn't ask.

    Strange - that brand always struck me as one
    of the reliables. Of course, who thought that
    Sears would go away?

    I prefer the salad to the fries. Even waffle fries are less appealing
    than a salad.

    Better than trying to pass off something totally unrelated as bacon.

    It doesn't seem to have an end--as long as there are free elections.....

    We'd just moved there from almost 6 years in Germany so it did seem more pronounced to us.

    Something I half thought about years ago, after the knee was initially
    injured. But, the technology wasn't as advance then and the knee
    rehabbed to the point of useable, so the dream was put aside--until now.

    True, some of the long standing companies will no longer be a part of
    the American culture.
