Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:

DM>  A kindly Universities gifted me with a tad over
DM>  3lbs of milk 3.2%, rump I'm guessing.  Now I am
DM>  waiting recommendations on how to cook it.

DM>  So, if You were to cook it...what would You do?


            First, I wondered why Denis was measuring milk in pounds & why...
since he seems to be reasonably knowledgeable about cooking... he'd be asking
how to cook milk without saying how he was planning to use it.

            Second, I read the kludge lines.  I saw that Denis was apparently
practising English by rewording a message from another echo.

            Third, I consulted the source & saw that the original enquiry was
about moose meat.  That would explain the use of the word "rump".

            If Denis wants to know how to cook moose meat, that's a different
question.  There are deer in Eurasia which some authorities consider to be of
the same species.  But unless I hear he has been offered meat he doesn't know
what to do with I'll regard this data as solely of academic interest....  :-Q
