Thanks.

One could ask... My Nicoise (which he pronounced nee-swah) was very nice, but again that was lunch.

I'm with you insofar as I think some chopped-up endive would be a lovely addition (as it is to almost any salad I can think of). Where did you have it like this? If worst comes to worst I could cook some for you. I do a pretty good frisée aux lardons... Fri Aug 28 16:35:03 -0700 2009 4983844 11478 Will Owen 2 4987275 I will be right over, Mr. O!!

Obviously a true guardian of la salade Lyonnaise! Just as La Fortuna in Redwood City was the one source of the veritable chile relleno, a pale green canned Ortega chile draped in puffy egg batter and filled with a pale yellowish cheese... no matter what those party poopers in Oaxaca or Puebla were offering as their versions of what's authentic. Ya know what? I don't care. My next frisée aux lardons will have, in addition to the Kentucky bacon and the wilted-in-the-skillet salad greens, a nice head of endive sliced into the mix. Thanks for the inspiration, ipse. Fri Aug 28 23:00:47 -0700 2009 4987805 11478 Will Owen
