A sad day in Dirtville (file under "ass" redux)

[Botafogo]

Foodie, I wasn't dissing the pizzas & bagels, I was using them as another reference for something that seems to be terroir driven (everyone says it's the NYC water) and that people recognize immediately as authentic or not when given a sample.

Here's a thought experiment:

Imagnine if (when???) the beancounters at Guinness decide that, three hundred years of Irish history, tradition and pride be damned, they would sell more beer if it had less color and flavor (really just the opposite of the Barolo debate where the infidels insist on MORE color and flavors) yet still call it "Guinness" and even have the nerve to call it "new and improved". Would that get anyone's dander up?
