On some thread someone (Mary C think) was commenting that peas come in pods, although people are not aware of this nowadays.
In the same way ,mayonnaise is made at home with olive oil and eggs. It does not come in a bottle, even if Hellmans and Pret have found some way to wangle EU regulations.
As Oliver says with oodles of garlic it becomes ailoli. The veg and tuna in the French dish of that name are just an excuse to mop it up.
Equally to my mind, instant coffee-effect-drink is not coffee.

How do you start a milk-pudding race?

Sibelius even wrote a tone poem about tapioca. Or was it semolina?
Sibelius wrote Tapioca and Handel wrote the oratorio Semolina - it's where his famous "Wheree'r You Walk" comes from. Then in 1521 there was the Diet of Worms. They ate some disgusting things in those days. (Where's me coat?) |

While Tony's getting his coat, Members might be mildly amused to contemplate
Honegger's Joan of Arc at the Steak
Tippett's The Ice Cream Break
Carl Orff's Carmina Biryani
Britten's Rejoice in the Lamb Chop, and indeed Stockhausen's Carré d'agneau
We shall now don our portmanteaux.

Ferneyhough also wrote three Thyme and Mutton Studies, his Bone Alphabetti Spaghetti for solo percussion, In Chip Butties for viola and ensemble, and Unity Cassoulet for solo flute (also, save for one letter, Lemma-Icon-Epigram is an anagram of 'Campari, ice, lemon')
