> All the cookbooks I have keep using various names to describe Green Onions. Sometimes it's given a different name in different chapters of the same cookbook. To this day, I haven't made up my mind for what to call them. Whenever my Dave is using a recipe that calls for...uh... a chopped/minced version of whatever this item is properly called [i.e., UPC Produce Code item # 4068], we have to wonder whether the author intended a vegetable that looked like Leeks or Chives instead.

I just mildly scared myself as I was reading this post. I've been rather distracted while catching up on the forum, but the "UPC Produce code item #4068" part jumped out at me and I instantly thought, "green onions." That's what three years of experience in the grocery business will do to a person. I've been out of the industry for two years now, but I'm not cured yet.

Ell "for some reason, people always asked me the codes" my "cilantro: #4889" ruh
