UNAPPETIZING

posted by James Reel

    I just pulled for use later today a Johann Strauss CD called Wiener Bonbons. Yes, I know how it's supposed to be pronounced, but the title always makes me think of chocolate-covered Vienna sausages. Ick. Which reminds me that my theme-dinner group once collaborated on an "upscale white trash" meal. One friend, cultured enough to run a mail-order classical CD service, brought the hors d'oeuvres, which involved Ritz crackers, Velveeta, Vienna sausages and caviar. Needless to say, there were leftovers.
