"There's a little restaurant on the shores of Shawano Lake in Wisconsin that serves German, Austrian and Hungarian food. When you order salad, you get a plate with some cole slaw, some lettuce, some potato salad and a big bottle of "dressing" that looks like and has the consistency of water. This is something like that - a light accompaniment to often-times rich food!"
