Uh, no. I said no such thing! The problem I had was that thr coating
wouldn't stick. There is nithin in salt or pepper that would cause it to
stick.

It has nothing to do with being willing or not. I can't eat cheese or
chicken. Both make me very ill. And I *do* love to cook. I am not the
only person who doesn't taste everything that they eat.

And what in the HELL does any of this have to do with the coating not
sticking or not being crisp? That is what the problem was.
