Topic: Main dishes : pre-cooked chicken or raw ?

[Cory Ander]

That's fine Phil, but someone has to decide where things best fit (there are plenty of square pegs and round holes on the forum!) and, at the time, that was me (and others).  And I made the call I thought was best regarding the existing forum structure.  Clearly, not everyone is bound to agree.

As I said, the forum really needs a revamp to make it clearer and easier to navigate (and to make it more obvious where to post and find things).  Even then, I'm sure members will post stuff in the least appropriate places....

PS:  It wasn't a citation, they are synonyms of "supplementary".  It was my attempt to clarify my decision.  Sorry if it confused you.

OK, all understood.  It seems to me that no matter how the forum is organised, not everyone will agree with the organisation ("Quot homines, tot sententiae"), and so one idea that might be considered is to cross-reference key posts under alternate headings.  For example, one theme that frequently recurs in discussions are the Ashoka recipes : if we stick with the current idea of partitioning them into bases, main courses, side dishes, etc., then there could also be a top-level theme (called, say, "Recipes by origin") under which there would be second-level threads called (say) "Ashoka Recipes", "Bruce Edwards' Recipes", ... which would not duplicate the existing entries but would simply containing a complete set of links to them.

Might this have merit, do you think ?

Phil, I agree with CA that the Pre-cooked recipe is a supplement and therefore correctly placed. But I do like your idea about having an index of recipes by origin. This would make things much easier to find indeed. Good idea.

Phil if you're going to go to the effort of using quotes from dead languages you could at least have the decency to also stick to English and not wander off into Americanisms too!  It's alternative NOT alternate.

OMG, I used an Americanism without realising it    It must be all this interaction with TasteTester about Burrito Supremes and the benefits of owning a set of kitchen scales.  Shades of Fowler, Gowers, Weseen and Onions, please forgive me : I promise never to sin in this unthinkable way again.
