<BLOCKQUOTE class=cite cite="" type="cite"><BR><FONT face=arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Another classic error I've seen possibly constituting
"bad cooking" is the inclusion of a single or couple of ingredients in every
dish in a menu, or so many that your feast becomes referred to as "that
garlic feast". Then, there is the faux pas of cooking the dish that
every feast for three months has included, and of which people are
tired. It may be more "bad planning" on both counts, but it is part of
the "cooking" task of preparing a feast.</FONT></BLOCKQUOTE><FONT
face=arial><BR>Oh yes! I remember all too well a feast many years ago that had
raisins in EVERYTHING. By the mid-point of the meal, we had gone from joking
about 'rabbit turds' to flicking them at each other with spoons. The
unfortunate thing is that I don't remember anything else about the feast- it
may well have been a lovely meal in other respects, but it was only memorable
for that one thing...<BR><BR>'Lainie</FONT> <BR>
