"There's no rule of thumb for ordering at any restaurant—it all boils down to common sense. If you're taking up a table and ordering a cup of hot water that you dip your own teabag into (obvious extreme example) then that's jerky behavior. But plenty of people get a couple of appetizers share an entrée and skip dessert. That's not any sort of violation. ... Nobody should ever feel ashamed of not ordering enough or bullied to order more. As long as you're not being a jerk no restaurant should consider you a lesser customer." – ferret

"I think it is because of what you are NOT tasting. People who raise cows for organic milk avoid drugs and hormones, and the animals are more likely to get good sunshine and good grass and less grain. Non-organically raised cows are raised as volume milkers, not as quality milkers." – cookware junkie on why organic milk tastes better

"Tasmanian pepperberry is veeeerrry interesting! Reminiscent of black pepper, but not exactly, it has a delayed action in the kick department. After you've chewed and swallowed and think you're done with it, it just keeps rolling along! Aficionados recommend using about a tenth the amount you would of black pepper. It's almost addictive!" - Caroline1
