This is a great opportunity to turn this into a thread where people swap yummy 
recipes. :-)  In any case, that's more constructive that all that "language X 
is better than language Y" drivel.  And it tastes better too. :-)  So I start 
off with my mom's potato salad:

Ingredients:
potatoes (2 kilos)
meat (1 pound; this should be the kind of beef that comes in little threads)
little silver onions
small pickles
pepper, salt, mayonnaise, mustard

Boil potatoes.  Cut meat, potatoes, onions and pickles in little pieces, and 
mix everything.  Add pepper, salt.  Mix with mayonnaise.  Add a tiny bit of 
mustard.  Put in freezer for one day.

There are many variants of this; some people add apple, vegetables, etc.

So, what is YOUR favorite recipe?  (Parentheses soup doesn't count.)

Hungrily y'rs,
