And honoured I do feel! Thank you Ma, especially for that delicious sounding recipe for Pea soup later in this thread. I intend to give it a whirl.
Speaking of food, I have an amusing anecdote about my time in the service. The C.F. has lots of French Canadians of course and wherever you're stationed you'll find French canadian cooks. While in the Golan I heard that they were serving poutine (melted cheese curds and gravy over french fries) in the mess hall. This is a very Quebecois dish. (I'll now spell phonetically) I entered the mess hall and loudly exclaimed,
"Poo-tan! I need poo-tan right now!"
Suddenly, all my French buddies started laughing and one of the cooks said,
"This ain't a whorehouse, we don't serve that here, you'll have to go to Tel Aviv for that! However, we do have some delicious poo-tin for you!"
Needless to say, I soon learned the difference between POO-TAN and POO-TIN!
Guess I don't have that certain, je ne sais quoi!
