Wow, at first I thought the site was cruel, but the more I saw grated
cheese, the more I wondered what it consisted of and how anyone could
eat the ghastly orange concoction. What's with orange grated cheese?
Ours is light yellow.

US cheddar cheese is born white, but has a tendency toward jaundice.
Tragic, I know.

wow..flashing back to all my childhood memories of "fancy" dinners. My
friends wonder why I learned how to cook to the level I have... this would
be the reason.

Way back then, when we used to have the yearly Christmas Office party
for everybody who worked for us, it was always catered by Nelson's
Kosher Deli, on Broadway near 170th Street.

There were about fifteen office and management people and around one
hundred factory employees. Spouses and children were welcome, as long
as we knew how many were coming. Enough food had to be ordered and my
father, the boss, liked to have presents for all the children,
supposedly left with him by Santa Claus.

The many trays were filled with Pastrami, Roast Beef, Corned Beef,
Brisket, Salami, Tongue and Chopped Liver Sandwiches, on fresh Rye
Bread, cut into quarters.

There were the usual sides, potato salad, cole slaw and pickles.

Only coffee and soft drinks were available and milk for the children.

Trays of cookies came from a neighborhood bakery.

Any left overs were claimed by the factory workers with seniority and
the foreman, forelady and shop steward. For some reason, the office
workers never got any of the left overs.

I hate to think of how much such a party would cost today.

Are you kidding me? Didn't you notice that some came with their own
take-home containers? Or went home with one of Margaret's?

I just wanna compare the OXO peeler and the plastic peeler that's all.
The black handle with fins on it make someone feel more comfortable
when using the peeler right? Apart from comfort what else?

Yes, much more comfortable than others, and you get a better grip,
with less chance of the handle slipping out of your hand. The blades
are sharper than most others that I've had, too. And they swivel to
navigate curves in the potatoes that you're peeling.

They're not very costly. Why not do a side-by-side comparison?
