Awful Awful (Rhode Island Cuisine)

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

 Wednesday's NEW YORK TIMES has an article on Rhode Island cuisine.  It's a
nice little piece of regional cuisine, but hey, this stuff has been done
years ago.  You guys didn't exactly discover it.
      No mention was made of "Rhode Island clam chowder," one Rhody's older
regional dishes.
   I tried to look through the college humor magazine THE BROWN JUG, but
neither the LOC nor the NYPL had the issues I needed.  Although I posted the
earliest "cabinet," there probably were foods like that advertised in THE
BROWN JUG (1930s?).  I had planned on taking a short trip to Johnson & Wales
and Brown (both in Providence) during my extended break this month, before a
longer-trip Christmas in Kenya balloon safari and a New Year's in Zanzibar.

   In the meantime, here are the  U.S. Patent & Trademark Office records for
