usually, you can find it in the grocery store close to the steak sauces. (A1, Heinz 57, etc.)

Hell, why not. Might as well use it to your advantage, i say.

We don't have TJ's here in Austin yet. When we do get one and it will be soon, there will be world peace, an end to famine and all diseases will be miraculously cured. ;-)

Remember, if in chowhound's search, you have to change the date range in the advanced search or you just get the last 12 months.

Sometimes if i use google i can find stuff in chowhound easier than chowhound's search.
like put something like this in google:
chowhound stuffed pepper paprika sour cream

i see you found it, nevermind

Had to google it, but eater has a little more info, FWIW

True,
But you can call your gin, tonic not so much

Right, but the goose was eaten at the meal that the ghost of Xmas present took him to.

Oops, I fat fingered it. I meant negroni, of course, but then all negronis make me happy.

Thanks for the link, that's great.
In the Geo. C. Scott version of the movie (haven't read the book in ages) they refer to it as a goose bird (IMO adding bird to spedify that it was small), and they totally cleaned it, implying that it wasn't very big.
Once again, not sure how faithful this is to the real book.

FWIW,
In the movie with George C. Scott as Scrooge, which is my favorite, he brings the turkey feathers and all to the Cratchit house, presumably to be cooked there.

Unless they use tonic from the soda fountain

I went to an italian place once. A fairly large chain, and ordered a negrini. The waitress asked initially if i meant peligrini, and i said no :ask the bartender if he / she knows how to make it.
Bartender said no, so i told the waitress how to make one on the rocks, since it was simpler, and he he was happy to learn it. the resulting drink was good, and strong.

I'm totally hijacking this thread. About a month ago we were in the same food trailer park, and decided to try "Hey!... You Gonna Eat or What?".
No time for a real review here, but i wanted to mention it, since i found nothing on chowhound about it. Lots of info on yelp, 99% 4-5 stars. Had the Texas rueben, which if i remember correctly had brisket, a spicy slaw, and pepper jack cheese. My friend had the Lone Star BLT (which had fried green tomatoes on it), IIRC, which she loved.
The owners run the place. The wife takes your orders, and the husband / chef cooks it and brings it out to you and explains exactly everything on the sandwich. Contrary to what is painted on the truck, no way are they Austin's rudest business. Really nice folks.
Ooops, i forgot, they make their own potato chips.

BKeats,
Thanks for the great post. That's the kind of info that i was looking for.

umami mia is pretty much brand new. If you go, we expect a full trip report :)
If you want to stay in the Barton Springs area, Shady grove has good burgers, CFS, etc. And you can sit outside under the shady trees.

MGZ,
I'm with you on that. It really depends on the occasion. Was it planned, impromptu, etc
I do like the jalapeno jelly with cream cheese on crackers or bagel chips. I'll add, habanero jelly would be great as well.
However, those barley thawed, mini shrimp are disgusting in virtually everything i've had them. No, I change that, everything.

I guess the pressure is the key, is that right? It'd seem like it would have more pressure than store bought.

So i posted this on the spirits board,
http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/904252

Basically, some questions stemming from an article in the NY Times about Eli Miller, New York's senior seltzer delivery man. Getting lukewarm response on the spirits board, i thought i'd post here. It's a good article about a disappearing profession (and until now, unheard of to me). Sort of like when i tell my kids that we used to have a milkman that delivered milk to the house in the 60's.

According to the article, “You drop one of these, it will explode,” he said, holding one up. “Inside here is triple-filtered New York City water with 80 pounds of carbonic pressure.”

I assume that is a lot more pressure than you get out of a soda stream or store bought seltzer.

A couple of weeks ago I bought a sixer of Real Ale double ESB. Pretty tasty.

Wow, there are a lot of people that i used to think liked me that made cream cheese with pickapeppa on it. now i find that they don't care about me. I'm heartbroken.

I like WB. It's one of my favorite hamburger chains. That said, I never noticed anything different about their ketchup or mustard.

I read this great article about a week ago about this guy, Eli Miller, one of the last seltzer men in NYC, and presumably the country.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/28/nyr...

Accordingto the article, there are only about a handful left. Anyway, Eli says the reason he still does this at 79 is “I don’t want them to have to drink that dreck you buy in the supermarket,”.

So, not ever being exposed to the real thing, i have a few questions.
a. Is this seltzer that much better than grocery store?
b. I assume that most of his customers use it for mixed drinks, as i see in old movies, or is this not the case?
c. Isn't it just carbonated water, or are there other ingredients?
d. since i live where there are no seltzer men to deliver seltzer, what's the closest that i can get to the real thing?

Any information would be helpful.

....or maybe we both have these problems.

PH,
What exactly does this sentence mean? I can't follow it.

I'm told the Radisson has a pretty good buffet, and
reasonable, too.
;-)

do a search on the spirits board. This is a fairly common thing.

I am not going to get into what is appropriate vs, what's not appropriate. I could care less. I was just pointing out the peculiar nature of the word "eatery". There are very few words like "eatery" in which the activity (verb) that a patron does there gets "ery" added to it to make it a noun, so i made up some to illustrate.
Here's some more:
restroom = pi$$ery
What about my kitchen? If i'm cooking in it, it might be a cookery to me, but if you are eating at my kitchen table, then it is an eatery to you.
