Breaded and Deep Fried with Gravy: Can Bacon Get Any Better?

First there was Wendy's "Baconator," two quarter-pound burgers topped off with six strips of bacon. Then J&D's smoky Bacon Salt, billed as delivering the flavor without the fat, the frying or the filthy kitchen, hit the shelves.

"Soup to nuts" -- what does that phrase mean?

The iPhone didn't completely solve it. And I had no answers. So I dug (with one 'g') to find the answer. Here we go...

From Wiki:

"Soup to nuts" is an American English idiom conveying the meaning of "from beginning to end". It is derived from the description of a full course dinner, in which courses progress from soup to a dessert of nuts. It is comparable to expressions in other languages, such as the Latin phrase ab ovo usque ad mala ("from the egg to the apples"), describing the typical Roman meal."

Now, a bit more...I watched all three parts of the film that pre-featured The Three Stooges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soup_to_Nuts), and found nothing of significance.

If you want to watch for yourself, here are the links:

Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA6sHseTKMw&feature=related
Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4gty097RDE&feature=related

I think the wiki explanation is sufficient; hopefully this puts it all to rest, and we can all get on about our lives using the "soup to nuts" line in full confidence that it means what we think it means.
