IIRC their forefathers brought that term with them; it originally describes the Indian potato Convolvulus Batatas and it is again IIRC 17-1800s French. One other thing they got right and that I miss much is Poutine, you don't get it here and I have no "real" recipe to make it myself and no PX plus eligible person etc. around to get canned gravy. If anyone can fill me in on how to make that stuff from the ground up, I will be a gratefual and happy man Cheers Ecke -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
