Suede turnips? ???
Jeff Wrangler:
I checked "Other" because most of the places I eat, especially when I visit my dad, the problem isn't portions that are too small, it's portions that are too large. And it isn't always convenient to take your leftovers home with you.
No wonder the U.S. now has more people who are clinically obese than merely overweight. At least, I think that's what I heard a day or so ago.
On the other hand, in a "nice" restaurant I will never order "medallions of veal" again. I did once. ... The menu made the dish sound yummo. When it arrived, I had three or four pieces of meat each the size of a quarter. >:( :laugh:

Funny, I was just at Rein's, a wonderful deli just outside of Hartford, CT, this past weekend, and they had Cel-Ray soda (not to mention killer pastrami). Dr. Brown's also makes root beer, black cherry, and cream soda. Here's what Wiki has to say:
"Dr Brown's Cel-Ray soda is a soft drink with a celery flavor. It is fairly easy to find in New York City. Outside the New York City region, it is rather obscure but can sometimes be found at Jewish delicatessens and restaurants. In addition, it can be found at certain grocers that specialize in American food in Israel, and other specialty grocers.
The flavor is reminiscent of ginger ale, but with a more pronounced celery flavor that is more pungent or peppery, derived from celery seed extract."
