I appreciate Houston's perspective point, though... hadn't thought of that. Someone should do worldview/socialization studies contrasting tall and short-people. I bet our world's are pretty different. For example, tall people are more likely to (apparently) prefer spicy oatmeal. They even have the same font!

Considering there is somewhat of a "perspective" difference (meaning you are tall and she is short) between you and kelly I can understand how that mistake could have been made. While the labels are not similar, the tops are very similar. And think of this, at least it was not chili powder. Joel,

It was more to do with your unwillingness to be grossed out of eating something due to external factors, like being to cheap/lazy. One British dish I have yet to try is pigeon. Thats right, flying rats. I even saw it on a menu of a 'nice' resturant. But if you visit, I am sure we can find a way. Thanks for a good laugh. Houston Joel,
