redvette.

The best dressings contain both wine and vinager and ' a heavy dose of spice'.

After four glasses of anything, you could probably convince me the salad had already came and went.

"French Dressing" is one outstanding clothing manufacturer. I have a pair of French Dressing jeans on right now, and they are long enough and oh so comfortable. This is for real, too. See if you can find them in your town!

Sorry gocats, but it is Saturday night.

Are you telling us your lower half is covered in a mixture of vinigar, mayo and secret spices?

I have never heard of this clothing label, but maybe it is not available in 'marks work wearhouse'.

I've never encountered what Americans call "French dressing" on a salad in France in 8+ trips. Their standard dressing is oil & vinegar, salt & pepper, + a dab of dijon mustard shaken up in a jar. Voila! Sometimes they do something seasonal to this basic vinaigrette like add rasberries.

Sorry if I was getting too saucy for this forum.

gocats2002 Apr 26th, 2003 10:22 PM

icithecat,
I wish I could tell you that I was covered with vinegar, mayo and secret spices. That would be a lot yummier than the cotton I'm wearing, but you're giving me good ideas!

I will not take this any further, but if this thread is not deleted by morning when my wife wakes up, People may be picking the remaining fur and saying 'damn, this tastes just like chicken'.

PS.

Just had a thought about paranoia.

The last line was not serious.

Gnight all

So, we never heard back from Jane...was she kidding? or simply very naive? OR, a big joker?

Hi all,

We will be going to Italy in the Fall. Is it true that you can only get Italian dressing on the salad?

We prefer Thousand Island.

The salads are just Iceberg lettuce and tomatoes, aren't they?

They often serve salads without dressing. You make your own with vinegar and olive oil on your table.

Also often they have green salad and tomatoes, tomatoes and mozzarella and mixed salad with roquette.

clayrr Apr 27th, 2003 05:33 AM

Lyb, I'm afraid Jane was serious with her question. Just as a recent poster was serious when he or she expressed concern on a different thread about using ATM's in Europe, since he/she would still have to pay a fee to convert the dollars that came out!

Oops! That wasn't you, was it?

lyb Apr 27th, 2003 10:01 PM

clayrr,

No, that wasn't me! LOL

My main concern is how will my PDA function in Italy, all my information is in my PDA in English. :)

clayrr Apr 28th, 2003 04:36 AM

lyb:

Use the adapter. Duh!

ira Apr 28th, 2003 04:40 AM

Hi
Clayrr: I don't think Lyb's PDA will work with just an adapter. I think she will need a converter as well.

clayrr Apr 28th, 2003 05:14 AM

Touche, Ira.

Scarlett Apr 28th, 2003 05:19 AM

La! the way this thread has meandered! From salad dressings to clothes to PDA conversion!
This has been so enjoyable to try to follow:)

My questions would be, If in Paris you get French dressing, in Italy you get Italian dressing, what in the world do you get on your salad in England???

ron Apr 28th, 2003 05:39 AM

Scarlett, the same thing you get on everything else in England, custard!
