Mah pleasuh, suh! Actually, while this isn't any real indication of
authenticity, I note that this seems to be what people think of when
they simply say, "Pesto" without any qualification. In other words, in a
world that can have walnut pesto, parsley pesto, sun-dried tomato pesto
(ick), this one is simply pesto, which to me suggests some element of mainstream-ness...
