Thanks for your valued [off topic] explanation. I have always wanted to know
that.
My curiousity was sparked in 1987 by Garison Keeler of Minnesota Public
adio,
one of those rare US citizens with a fine understanding of the language, he
pretended to be puzzled by the need to re- fry beans.
My late father told me of the Monks' Prayer......"Lord protect me from Bad
Women and Twice Cooked Meat".
Cheers.....ALEC
