“Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it."

NOTE: This recipe does not specifically state
using Fat Free Refried Beans, but these are now
available and should probably reduce the fat count to
0. Also, you can now purchase tortilla chips that are
baked and not fried for a greatly reduced fat count.
Not exactly the same as the regular tortilla chips,
but once you try them a few times and think of what
you are saving in fat grams they become increasingly
good. <G> You could make your own tortilla chips using
the No-Fry Tortilla Chips (Diabetic) recipe.

“Food for all is a necessity. Food should not be a merchandise, to be bought and sold as jewels are bought and sold by those who have the money to buy. Food is a human necessity, like water and air, it should be available.”
