CULINARY NEWS: As you may know, here in the northeastern United States we put a lot of salt on our roads during the winter. Sometimes we do this without actually trying the roads first, which drives the highway designers crazy. They spend years perfecting their craft and the idea of mere amateurs adding salt, pepper, or what ever else tickles our fancies to the creations they've spent days, weeks, perhaps even years concocting, fills them with an almost existential horror. One almost hesitates to think what would happen if some poor misguided highway commissioner actually asked them for a bottle of ketchup.
