SC - How do you know a dish was well liked or hated?

[Beth Morris]

I've always found that my mother was very wise on similar issues:  "You can
catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar"...if you can convince
people that doing things in a more authentic manner is fun, then they'll want to
try it.  If you insult them with snarky comments, you're going to accomplish two
things:  1)turn them off so far as learning the more authentic way and 2)make an
enemy out of that person!
