Answer to What is Wrong With This Photograph? Part 313
I was at the original location of Russ & Daughters on 179 East Houston Street in New York — which is just down the street from Katz’s Delicatessen — earlier this year. The Jewish-style appetizing eatery that specializes in fish delicacies — they also sell bagels and bialys — has been around since 1914, which is an impressive 111 years.
I reviewed the menu at the official Internet web site of Russ & Daughters — and something struck me as odd:
- The description for the sturgeon is that “This delicate white meat has an absolutely unique flavor; it is clean and earthy, sweet and delicate all at the same time. It is no surprise that fish that gives us caviar would be just as sumptuous when smoked.”
- The description for the sable is that “Sable was once referred to as “poor man’s sturgeon,” but don’t let the old moniker fool you. With its melt-in-your-mouth flavor and buttery texture, sable is served in some of the best restaurants around the world. It is also classic appetizing.”
The cost for a half-pound of sturgeon is $37.00. The cost for a half-pound of sable — once referred to as the “poor man’s sturgeon” — is…
…$37.00.
Either the sturgeon devalued in price over the years; or the price of sable was elevated to the point that it is no longer considered the “poor man’s” version of sturgeon — or any other fish, for that matter.
Favorite answer by derek: “Some of the dishes look like they may be the same thing, like Irish versus Norwegian salmon or Graviax versus pastrami cured salmon.”
Favorite comment by LH: “That’s actually not what’s wrong with that “we can’t sign you in to your account” message. As someone who works IT for a fortune 100 company, the issue is different. All these signs are auto signed in to a network account that’s controlled and then the content is displayed. Sometimes, due to bad HDD, bad network connection, or even registry issues the machine can’t use the network account’s local user folders and thus creates a temporary login account and gives that message. If you go to c:\users\ you’ll see lots of TEMP folders in there. It’s annoying but can usually be fixed fairly easily but does take IT to fix it, and as we’re all short staffed these days it’s possible they don’t even know it’s happening.” Note: This comment was actually meant to be in response to What Is Wrong With This Photograph?
