There seems to be quite a few posters here that get their knickers in a knot
when an American poster refers to a food, spice, currency, quantity, or
location that doesn't identify his country of origin. I, myself have been

The problem is that for many of us the "food experience" may be all over the
nation(s) and a local reference is very limiting.

As Example: Name the cities or places you have Food experience.

If you narrow "food experience" down to, for example, "grocery shopping and
cooking at home within the past year or so," the list of places can narrow
down considerably.

Alas, Terry, I only moved to AZ in 2000, but I do love the rocks and scrubby
vegetation! <g> We spent the first three years down in Queen Creek at the
foot of the SanTan Mountains, but a 67 mile one-way drive to work wore pretty
thin. We're now 36 miles from work, and I expect that we'll probably move
closer to the city before it's over. I do miss the raw desert we enjoyed
down in Queen Creek, however. BTW, I was born in Long Beach, CA, but my
family moved to the midwest before I was walking. Still, I'm a native
Californian. Looks like we traded places! <g>
