<br>I had assumed that the name Buffalo wings originated outside of Buffalo -
<br>and the "chicken" was eliminated because of the image of a buffalo having
<br>wings.  Just as the English don't have English muffins and the French don't
<br>have French fries or French toast - they wouldn't have been called Buffalo
<br>wings in Buffalo.
<br>
<br>The only origin to Caesar salad I've ever heard was the restaurant in
<br>Tijuana.  People are still arguing about which is the more authentic - with
<br>or without anchovies and with or without raw egg in the dressing.
<br>
<br>And then there's the controversy over who invented the Martini...
<br>
<br>(Maybe I'll just have a Caesar salad, some Buffalo wings, and a martini and
<br>forget the whole thing.)
