    You obviously haven't had REAL Italian soups etc

    A a soup lover I actually don't rank Italian offerings too highly. And I've ordered soup on several occasions in Italy.

    Dandelion belongs in a yard waste bag.
    It is now my duty to completely drain you.

    Not a big soup fan here. It's a starter for me. My favourites are cream of mushroom (with more actual exotic mushrooms than soup) and my wife's spinach soup.

    Nah - I'm always 100% honest with her about what food I like and don't. Too many middle aged men eating their wife's meals they dislike because they didn't say!

    No red wine goes with spicy food. It needs beer.

    Hmm. I never really thought about it. I'm not much for red wine--I love it, but it's a one-sided relationship. And I've sort of been off beer since Japan. I only have the occasional brew here and there.
