Sensible. There's no point in scaring yourself into indigestion for a 
mushrooms. EVEN for Caesars Agaric - though it's very close.

Yup, except that they don't really play them as Mr J intended - but then, 
neither do I!
 ML> This is the only ontopicizer I have handy:
What's an ontopicizer? That's not a word in my vocabulary, and I lack the 
imagination to decode it. I know about the onto- prefix, but that leaves me 
with the rather unhelpful "Picize", and I can't make head nor tail of that 
either!
 ML> Little Patti tomatoes, Graham Kerr
Thanks for the recipe... even if I don't know what it is?
I saw elsewhere that you're moving. Good luck with it. I HATE moving - with a 
passion.
All the Best
Ian
