I think it works better as a coaster for your beverage.

my "home" rules:

- no sandwiches not even fancy ones
- no raw veggies, not even salads
- no cold food or drinks until evening and even then I'll take a hot meal over a cold one
- no sour foods, including eastern NC bbq and vinegar based anything
- no fresh water fish, tilapia is sewer fish to me in particular
- seafood is preferred if it met its death in my kitchen by my hands
- no sirloin steak or cuts, tastes like blood/iron to me
- no margarine, canned whipped cream
- no white meat chicken ever
We are almost polar opposites

Agree but Stilton & Swiss are right behind

I won't even want to eat with them. I avoid Texas.

Perhaps a rare occurrence? I ask only because I have the smoked salmon often on planes, figuring that it's safer than most fish, having been cured etc. Now I wonder.

So many people do this--most are breaking the law, and it's a law with a good purpose.
