    I know that most Muslims are happy to eat kosher food (one of the reasons that some Jewish schools have always been popular with Muslim parents) - don't know if it works the other way.

    That is rather good. Can we have some 'best of's posted here from over there and any responses from the chefs? It can be hard work tracking it all down.

    My post is still there on the forum about the guy who lost his job as a chef and hit the road with his dog & Motorcyce sidecar http://www.cheftalk.com/forums/late-...my-dog-10.html

    As you say, do not despair. I too am on the road except I use a caravan as a base rather than your camper van, to me it is a journey of discovery, new adventures and friends not yet met, waiting just around the next bend in the road.
    Yes there have been moments of dark despair- the last of the money spent buying a tank full of gas, in utter madness and desperation I was forced to cook my faithful travelling companion - a beautiful Jack Russel terrier called Benji - washed down with a fourpack of Millers and tears rolling down my cheeks. I can tell you the winter of 2005 in Alberta wasdefinitely a low point; but I bounced back in 2006 -got a job at Shoneys and life was good again.I bought a pair of gerbils for company - called them Jack and Jill and they provided hours of deep conversations about metaphysics and the role of cooking in the Industrialized NeoCon movement.
    This spring J&J (as I call them) became a family andthe ten of us moved around all over the Western seaboard going from place to place, picking up work here and there, seeing the sights and chilling out.
    At the moment I am looking for work based in a truckstop just outside of Portland Oregon, things are a little tough and the last of the money went Friday -does anyone know a recipe for gerbil? Keep your chin up and good luck on the road

    You are banned here as well.
    It's just that everybody is too scared to tell you

    Slow, isn't it.

    And Tony, one of their regulars has responded to your post, saying he would not dignify it with a response.

    Anyone banned yet?
