I stand corrected, especially as I have to go to a specific store to get
coconut milk (no, I don't make my own, thank you very much) and glass
noodles. But I once (on another list) had to try to explain, using text
only, to someone in Wales, the differences in use among cayenne, jalapenos,
and bell peppers. Can't you just imagine her running amuck in a Texas
Farmer's Market?

But who would want canned greens?
