     I had always thought that tartar sauce was made from regurgitated
cream-of-mushroom soup.  That's what it reminds me of...

     Another interesting "edible" item that occurred to me--

	FISH HEAD Beer.

     They only changed the name to Moose Head to placate(plaqueate?) the
consumer.  Has anyone ever SEEN a moose head not mounted on a wall?  Not a
pretty sight, I'm sure.  Now I've seen fish heads(wish I hadn't!) and can
safely believe in them.  But a moose head? Come on!

Question to provoke thoughtful discussion(!):

   Is there REALLY any difference between canned ${dog_food,corned_beef_hash}?

I've referred to corned-beef hash as "dog food" for years.
