And I think with that this topic has more than run it's course. Let's move on before things get unfriendly.

Of course, police in Europe don't have a fraction of the body count the cops in the US have. One wonders why that is. In America, people enjoy more freedoms than the rest of the world. Unfortunately, there is the freedom to act like an ass. I agree with Dupont, no one has ever revisited arrest and been the better for it. |

In America, people enjoy more freedoms than the rest of the world. Well, that's all relative as well. We have one freedom that seems to make us comparable to war torn developing nations in many ways, but other countries do enjoy freedoms we don't have as well. All in all, I'd say out of English speaking nations, America is probably my third most desirable place to live. And if it weren't for the Southern California weather it would drop down a few notches as well. If I were fluent in any language, I'd find this place relatively low on the list of developed Western nations I'd like to live in. Of course, I know this place better than any other, and there would likely be things about New Zeland I wouldn't like if I lived there. But statistically, just looking at raw numbers and quality of life, we aren't doing as well as the "Greatest Nation On Earth" should be by a long shot. |

In cooking the rest of my catfish tonight while it's still fresh, and eating as I cooked, right out the pile, I have wonder why anyone would ruin fish with tartar sauce. Ick! Good food doesn't need a condiment/sauce.
Also, speaking of bringing out the top of the line without needing to hide it ... I wonder what kind of wine Jesus turned water into. Everyone at the wedding feast commented on it's quality. So it's not like Jesus half assed it and miraculously created Mad Dog.

I'll admit to liking tartar sauce with my fish, but I can't understand paying top dollar for a good steak and then drowning it in A1 sauce. Usually in restaurants when the server brings my steak they ask about steak sauce. I usually tell them I'll try the steak first, but probably won't need the sauce. At least a couple of times I saw an expression from the server that said they appreciated that, so I'm guessing it bugs them too.
As to the wine, yeah, I betting it was the really good stuff. No Two Buck Chuck.

I can't stand tartar sauce, but I'll put some hot sauce on some catfish I'm with you on the tartar sauce; I've never understood the appeal of relish mixed with mayo. For fried fish, it's cocktail sauce for me, and for grilled/pan-cooked varieties, I go with Frank's Red Hot if I put anything on it, because I have usually put some kind of blackening spice on the fish before it hits the heat. |

Yeah I can do hot sauce on some things (much like malt vinegar) that adds to the flavor instead of masking it, like many condiments and dipping sauces do. Hot sauce use to be the only way I could eat tripe or chitlins.
I eat my steaks nearly raw, when I grill them myself. I pretty much just sear the outside, so it's at least hot. I do like A-1 sauce a lot though. I also like malt vinegar on steaks sometimes, but mostly on grilled or pan fried pork chops.
No wonder I can't stand tartar sauce. It has the abomination that is mayo in it. Though even outside of mayo, I seem to be very bigoted to all white condiments, sauces or dressings, expect blue cheese.

Funny story about the bolded part: At the rehearsal dinner for my wedding, our guests had the option of filet mignon or broiled fish (my parents were paying, and that was what they wanted as choices). My best man's fiance had selected the filet, as had one of my other groomsmen, and when the server brought their plates, each one of them asked for steak sauce. My best man and I sat aghast at this (we're both foodies, and he has been a restaurant manager for years), and we called them out on it. When they asked why, our response was "because it's filet, and you just don't do that to filet." |

But I would have had the same reaction. Kind of like the reaction we have at home when my daughter's friend insists on putting ketchup on mac'n'cheese. |

My son does the same with ketchup on almost everything he does like. Strangely he doesn't like mac & cheese. But he does on chicken. And not like a fast food breaded chicken sandwich, but like, grilled, baked, rotisserie ... Personally I've found less and less uses for ketchup the older I get. I don't put it on burgers I make, but I can eat restaurant or fast food burgers with them on it. I rarely use it on fries anymore, unless they are just really bland fries that need flavor.

My younger daughter puts ketchup on dang near everything as well, including chicken like your son. We had grilled chicken breasts last night, and she had her pile of ketchup to dip the individual bites into. |

I took all that time to marinade and grill that chicken and that's how you thank me?! :-) |
