How about a seperate thread now for all those from Pittsburgh who want to reminisce? I've just waded through several pages of stuff I have no clue about. Isn't this still the Secret Santa topic? Seems to have gone off on a tangent.

I too have been enjoying the banter, My DH was in the Navy so we lived on two coasts and one foreign country and I fondly remember all the strange names for the same dish. Any one want a Cabinet with a Grinder? Where I live now its Pop also.
