As a representatice of SEPNCGHC (Society for the Enhancement of Pine Nut and Cornish Game Hen Consumption)I read with appall your disdain for both pine nuts and cornish game hens. Perhaps you should see a psychologist. Has either of these innocent, widely loved and admired foods ever harmed you? Actually, a dish that has been savoured by rich and poor alike is roasted cornish game hen stuffed with pine nut dressing. I would also like to bring to your attention the many quilts worldwide that honor these two esteemed foods. There are quilts in the Louvre, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the National Museum in Washington, DC commemorating these two bastions of civilization. Since antiquity these two venerable foods have been revered as well as relished. In closing, I do hope that you will reconsider and remove them from your “Dislike List’ Perhaps substituting squash, a meeley tasteless pablum, truly worthy of your disdain would serve this purpose well.

Sincerely,

SEPNCGHC
