Message: | This message board exists to promote the exchange of information about good food. A significant part of the pleasure of dining is the camaraderie that forms between those who share delicious edibles. Though the men and women who share information on Chowhound.com do not often get the chance to get together for food, we are a community of sorts and the camaraderie we know from our groaning tables extends invisibly into our communications with one another here, so that we enjoy trading finds, insights and lore with one another as we would over a feast. I'm not sure why regional terminology needs to be debated in such a forum, but I am quite sure that there is no need to ruin the meal by finding fault with one another's geographical, gustatory, religious or dietetic inclinations. A chowhound is a terrible thing to waste. |
