Re: clearing dichromate stain (dichromates and sausage)
Katherine, Have you found any references that do link dichromates and sausages? I'd be interested if you could locate this missing link. I googled the two (dichromate + sausage) and came up with smoky links and subsequently smoky cross links, which sounds very suspicious to me. Sorry you were summoned from your respite, but I can't recall anyone, including Chris, asserting that members of the list should run and stir a teaspoon of dichromate into a glass of water and swill it down like Tang, or Moon Tang, as we used to affectionately call it. So, for the benefit of someone who is often slow on the uptake, can you clarify what your issue is? I haven't noticed anyone of late, with the exception of Sam Wang, sporting a bright orange tongue—however, Sam shows no sign of physical or mental deterioration, so perhaps he is not taking a daily dose of dichromates., but maybe secretly indulging in orange popsicles. Glad you are paying close attention to the list, God knows we need all the help we can get.

There I found that in my absence, my assertion that the belief that dichromates have been used as an ingredient in sausage has been offered (on this list) in support of the idea that dichromates are safe to eat, has been characterized as "wild hyperbole" and I've been repeatedly challenged to say WHO on the list has ever said such a thing. Here's an example, a response to a question about the safety of dichromates.

Not wild hyperbole, simply a statement of fact. Katharine Thayer |
