Meanwhile, enjoy these tasty morsels:
corkage (pronounced
kor-KOZH)
The fee charged by a restaurant for uncorking a
bottle of wine supplied by the customer. Diners
wishing to economize should bring twist-top
bottles, since a lower fee is usually charged
for screwage.
delicacy
A food specialty that has yet to be produced
in massive quantities for export by the People's
Republic of China.
fermentation
A process by which some type of organic matter
is accidentally knocked off a nearby shelf and
spilled into a vessel containing a liquid or semiliquid
food substance, with pungent results. Centuries of
such accidents eventually led to the redesign of most
kitchens, moving shelves well away from cooking
areas, but by then the window of opportunity
for ending fermentation once and for all had
long since closed.
