This nails it on the head for me!  I'm sorry for kind of a me, too 
posting, but I am so strongly offended by being offered chocolate 
chip cookies and being told that it's okay, chocolate being period is 
so-and-so's whim, I could just scream.  As I said in an earlier post, 
we have five days of the week to eat pizza, cornchips, chocolate chip 
cookies.  I don't *want* them at feasts.  I don't want to order a 
hamburger when I go to a Thai restaurant, either!
