Well, Edouard and I have this thing about the 'proper' dressing for turkey 
(he likes to put New World grain into his New World bird. I think it's 
ghastly ;-), so dinner controversy is no stranger. I just get upset when 
people do seasoning things to food before they've tasted it. At least my 
mom didn't let us salt or pepper things (except baked potatoes, which was 
expected) until after you're tasted it. She thought it was rude. Of course 
it also saved us in some circumstances- Aunt Elizabeth was notorious for 
not tasting as she cooked- she would either forget the salt, or she'd 
forget that she'd already put it in. Either way, tasting the food first was 
a good idea. (This was a woman who salted her jello. Eeeyuw!)
