6.3 What's all this about xxxx?

(much of this section was copied
verbatim from the rec.food.cooking MiniFAQ that the
invaluable Amy Gale used to post - thank you, Amy)

This section tries to cover a few of the most commonly confusing
topics that may come up on the newsgroup.

aluminium : has not been linked to Alzheimer's Disease in a
reproducible experiment.

Elbonia : a mythical country (probably in Eastern Europe). Comes
from Scott Adams' "Dilbert", syndicated in newspapers and
available at http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/

Ingrid : Anne Bourget's Volvo, used for flattening chicken breasts.
Now deceased, but the memory lives on.

j/nghlm : a joke ingredient. Spelling varies.

WWT : (Weekend With Tammy). Once upon a time, a long-time rfc
poster named Tammy spent a weekend with another long-time
poster who posted a long article describing their mainly
food-related adventures. Some people took exception to
that posting, complaining about the lack of recipes (which
were posted separately). Many people now use the WWT
acronym in the subject header to indicate a posting of
similar nature.

ObFood : 'obligatory food reference'. An old rfc tradition.
Many people hold that, whenever one happens to post off
topic, one is supposed to add something that has to do
with food, ideally something that is actually interesting
and/or useful.
