RIP J D Salinger, finally caught in the rye.  SignatureKaty Jennison spamtrap: remove the first two letters after the @ > RIP J D Salinger, finally caught in the rye. Was he the son of a kosher salesman? Jerome David Salinger was born in New York in 1919, the son of a kosher cheese salesman of Polish ancestry, and his wife, who was a convert to Judaism. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/comment/obituaries/article7007023.ece [kosher] [cheese salesman] ---> kosher cheese-salesman [kosher cheese] [salesman] ---> kosher-cheese salesman Hyphen, dammit!

That's a neat trick...how do they excuse the rennet?...r SignatureA pessimist sees the glass as half empty.

There are also non-animal sources of rennet. IME kosher cheese tastes like soap.

IME kosher cheese tastes > like soap. Yeah, why is that? Kosher wines have come a long way within living memory, so maybe there's hope for kosher cheeses if anyone actually cares enough to do something about it.

SignatureJames RIP Someone who generated lots of trepidation in his readers. Marius Hancu > RIP J D Salinger, finally caught in the rye. Has anybody here read the sequel to "Catcher in the Rye"? Americans probably won't have because publication was stopped there by a copyright dispute, but it's available in the UK. "60 Years Later: Coming Through the Rye" by John David California, a pseudonym for the Swede Fredrik Colting. Amazon reviews are radically divided: either five stars or just one.
