I like your honesty on this. That's the spirit, admit up front
that you're no expert, in the hopes of keeping some snobbish
instigator from saying something negative about your comments. It is
very possible that a lot of what we like we like because of habit.
But the idea of eating is not to impress other people, it's for you
and it's your choice. You know, they say you get what you pay for.
That is true a good deal of the time, but not always. I think there's
some expensive stuff out there that if you were to try it you might
not think it's so great. I'm a cheapo too when it comes to cheeses
and other deli type items. I'd love to stick a blindfold on the so-
called experts so they can sip or devour a variety of foods ranked
from 1 to 20 and see how they do. I also wonder how many people would
recognize it if a chef in a mid-priced restaurant took a container of
Wendy's salad and put it in a nice looking bowl and served it along
with an mid to expensive priced entree. (that may be the first time
I've ever used that word, entree, in my life, in print).

I used to wander as I wondered, now I just lie in one place and wonder
all day long,
