Gar, this is more of a muffin top look: [link]

This is where they lost me - don't want any liver-ish items on my mega-expensive sandwich.

See, here's the problem. Ya gotta stop thinking of it as "liver-ish" and more "the richest most decadent food that goes on toast points."

t sits back and waits for the anti fois gras contingent to come out

t Frank started it! Obvious fois gras bashing!

Don't bash your fois gras, just give it to me.

I hate liver with quite a passion, except when it comes in foie gras form. That's nummy, and I'm craving some now.

I'm anti-muffin top because I'm anti-cinching-to-excess. If you can hide the cinch overflow under your clothing, fine. Or if it's a corset which takes care of the whole deal. Otherwise it looks uncomfortable and messy.

Ya gotta stop thinking of it as "liver-ish" and more "the richest most decadent food that goes on toast points."

See also salty fish eggs aka caviar. "Rich" and "decadent" don't hold a lot of water with me if it still tastes like liver and/or salty fish eggs. Even if I wasn't footing the bill.

How much do you have to spend on your food before it has a presentation?

I'm saying the spun-sugar PowerPoint slides definitely qualify.

I don't think that foie gras tastes like liver, though. Salty fish eggs are right out, although I like the roe that's often used in sushi--that's tasty and un-over-salted.

I don't think that foie gras tastes like liver, though.

To me it still has that tell-tale vaguely metallic taste in there that makes me gag. I don't like seafood at all, but I can deal with the flavor a lot better than with any of the innard type foods.

The only food that pings me worse, no matter how minute a quantity, is broccoli. I can taste broc in just about ANYTHING it's in.

Aw, Frank, we were doing so well on similar food preferences, but if you don't like any seafood and you don't like broccoli, I'm afraid it would never work.

OK, if you saw this headline (front page of MSNBC), what would you think?

Iran to 'join the club of counties' with nukes, leader says

Would you think that Iran's leader said that they're gonna get nuclear weapons? But that's not what he said.

If you click on the link, you get a more accurate headline: Iran says will soon join nuke technology 'club'

See, what he meant was that Iran has started processing uranium, supposedly for nuclear power (they'd really have to ramp production way up to get nuclear bomb material anytime soon).

So was that first headline a mistake, or intentionally misleading?
