Too many questions I can't answer. I'm an American. I don't have too many
fond memories of food growing up. We had no traditional foods in our house.
I don't eat anything bizarre. My "culture" doesn't have a diet. I would
mostly eat Mexican food if I could. And no part of me is Mexican.

So it makes me wonder why you even post to this group? Most people who
post here have some love of food or knowledge of food, or curiousity
in even trying something different...

What part of that is spam? There are plenty of truly ignorant posts from
foodbanter where your comments would actually make sense.

It's one of the more intelligent and purposeful posts I've ever seen from
foodbanter, although I admit if no one had replied I would not have seen it.
However the questions are not difficult and I'm tempted to reply.

The question in my mind is whether she realizes this is going to RFC, and
whether she has enough presence of mind to read and reply here and not on
foodbanter if she wants some help, since many of us do not allow foodbanter
to archive our posts.

If she responds to this message I'll help her out. If not, then not.

The one thing she needs to do, however, is give people an off list email
addy or interactive website to use when responding. People are less likely
to hand out this information on a public group IMO.

What are you wearing?

"Chemo the Clown" <My name Jose Jimenez.

I use that name when a telemarketer manages to get me on the phone. (
Doesn't happen much.) Where oh where does that line come from? Was that a
regular funny on Ed Sullivan long, long ago? I'm not about to tell someone
who calls here without a recognizable phone i.d. who I am.
They've got about 5 words before I simply put the phone down and leave
their computer's urgent message looping.
My name José Jimenez. Polly

No, you don't. You're just another foodbanter scam artist.

I do love some food. Where did I say that I didn't? In fact I said I would
eat Mexican food most of the time if I could. What's your problem?

You may have seen him on the Ed Sullivan show; for a while, he was a very
popular character and showed up all over the place. The character, playe by
Bill Dana, was originated on the Steve Allen show in the late '50s. Steve
Allen had a number of comedians who played various "man on the street"
characters on his show; among them were Dana, Don Knotts, Tom Poston, Pat
Harrington.

IIRC, Jose Jimenez was the only character to become popular enough to appear
on other TV shows of the day.

Kinda like Raymond J. Johnson Jr. in the 1970's and early 80's. (Well,
you can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay, or you can call me Johhny,
or...)

There is not much to think about. The OP was from foodbanter, those
those typically involve a post from a new user who poses a dumb either
announces that he/she is new to the forum and wants to say hi, or they
ask a dumb question and are never heard from again.

But "but you doesn't hasta call me Johnson!"

I never understood that joke until I started reading usenet. There
are a lot of dirty minded people here.

Which is why you won't miss a thing if you put the entire foodbanter
