Huh, interesting. I was going to talk about making Watergate Salad with half Cool Whip, half Greek yogurt and searched it up to find a link for the forum. Apparently my family messed with the recipe somewhere. We use Cool Whip, pistachio pudding mix, and pecans, which are part of the original...
This has probably been one of my favorite chapters so far. I enjoy seeing La Villon chapters and this just made me fonder of his weird gourmet self. :02:

I don't think they're <i>just</i> glorified bards/storytellers. If you go and eat the local cuisine in another country, you know what's accessible to them. In his introduction, Jean freaked out because Nobu was using black pepper on their potato salad. Remember how Lonbaudt was irritated because...
