Yuk! That's about as appetizing as Soy-based Scrapple.

If it is McSweens (sp?) then their vegetarian haggis is very nice. Don't expect it to be the same as traditional haggis -- just enjoy it for what it is.

I don't "get" vegetarians. They don't want to eat meat, but they want their soy to TASTE like it.

Perhaps for those customers who don't dislike meat, but rather prefer the gaseous results of soy protein.

Vegetarian is an old Indian word. It means "Poor Hunter". _________________________________ Andrew Bunn Ainsley Specialized Transport bunn snipped-for-privacy@ns.sympatico.NOSPAMMERS.ca Halifax, Nova Scotia Canada

No, the article comes right out in the first sentence and says that it is Stahly Quality Foods, not Charles Macsween.

OK, translation _is_ an inexact science sometimes.

Sorry about that! I guess that I have lunch too often with too many liberal arts faculty members. They aren't even sure that a College of Business is appropriate for higher ed, and several of them are really far left. And, after a bunch of snide comments about Enron every day, I got a bit defensive. Of course, it is budget time, and everybody is fighting for turf. Academic politics can be some of the worst.

Wow...THREE oxymorons! :-)

Careful! That's a political statement and liable to result in another useless flame war.

Interesting note though. Why _is_ it that we only hear about _conservative_ think tanks? I'm sure the liberals must have some. I'll have to google-whack it.
