George,

QuoteYou use of the word " really" makes it sound like you think I'm making it up!

No it doesn't George, you know full well it doesn't.  Stop being so bloody confrontational!

OK, to avoid any future confrontation, I'm out of it. I hope to find the perfect naan bread - for me anyway - but, if I do, i won't be writing it up here.

Oh Come on George, don't be like that....
if you do find the perfect naan, I bet it doesn't come from a Chinese chef.

George's message : by "shriek-marker", I meant the exclamation mark at the end of his sentence, here taken from your own "Quote" copy :

Glaze : OK, looking at your reference, I can see "The key thing is NEVER to use any glazed tiles as they contain LEAD" but that specifically refers to quarry tiles, which one can imagine being glazed since they could then be baked in a kiln.  But as I understood it, you were worried about a granite chopping block being glazed : is there any evidence that the same glaze would be used for quarry tiles and for granite chopping blocks, and are granite chopping blocks ever glazed at all ?  I can see the need for a glaze on quarry tiles, but not on a granite chopping block, to be honest.

Phil,

The exclamation mark was used appropriately for the way I took his reply.  If a humorous reply was intended, I would have thought a  ;D or a  or even a  , would have been more appropriate!

That is why we have the emoticons, because the written word can so often be devoid of emotion.

Well, I suppose each of us interpret what we read as if we had written it ourselves.  For myself, I can certainly imagine writing what George wrote with tongue very firmly in cheek, and ending it with a shriek marker (exclamation mark) because I am more used to communicating in ASCII than I am in BB-speak (which is why you will sometimes see me /emphasise things/ with slashes, forgetting that there is an "I" button in the toolbar.  Anyhow, let's put this one to bed : I'm sure you and George will kiss and make up before long  ;D

** Phil.

P.S. I did a search for "Glazed granite" (there are no hits for "Glazed granite chopping") and the only positives were for resin and porcelain granite simulations -- no real glazed granite at all, as far as I can tell.

Quote from: Razor on January 26, 2011, 08:18 PMI'm more inclined to think that my piece of granite, is actually polished and not glazed, as it is a chopping block, with food prep in mind.

I hope you're right. I always assumed the surface of my granite block is polished rather than glazed but you can never be too sure and that's why I'm grateful to you for your warning about lead. I hope it's only ceramics which are glazed.

I'm sorry I normally see the word 'Really?', when used as a prefix, as sceptical, doubting, even patronizing. I accept that others may not read it that way, let alone react. I admit I'm guilty of making a drama out of a minor difference. Part of the reason, I deleted much of my text on naan breads was because all this stuff is off-topic.
