Ber,
The folks in Bend would think it was animal fodder. Here in Eugene
most folks would snap it up. Not me- artichoke hearts belong in pasta
salad and tofu is for stretching the egg salad when I'm really broke. On
the whole it is a little like putting pineapple in anything and calling it
'Hawaiian'. Or taking out tomatoes, adding extra onion and some verjuice
and calling it 'Medieval'. :-)
(The kids and I put up the new pavilion today- it looks smashing.
Now to find a decent job.)
