This or That

[jamespowers]

Thanks! So, at some point in the past, people were expected to eat it. Wonder when they stopped, and why the garnishing continued anyway?

Not necessarily eat it but chew it.

It keeps going as sort of a tradition. Few people even know what the heck it is for. My grandmother told me all about it.

Cilantro. Some years ago I made some parsley and leek soup. It was really good but unfortunately I lost the recipe.

New York or Chicago?

Las Vegas or Atlantic City?

Absinthe service, with a fountain, on a summer afternoon on the terrace. A thimblefull of Karlovy Vary (a Bohemian variant on Jagermeister) this evening, after a Knedlo-vepro-zelo (pork, sauerkraut and dumplings) dinner.

Private school, but not an all-boys' one: the students don't bathe often enough and smell like boiled chicken.

Wide-legged trousers or pegged trousers?

Somewhere in between. The wide is just too 70s invoking for me.

Of course. There are more pieces.

Palm Beach or Linen suit?

Yeah. Mine was Episcopalian: no nuns to enforce behind-the-ears washings. The presence of girls is the best way to get pimply teenage boys to shower.
