Karl probably has heard the tale several times before because in the Tasty, which holds to the motto "Round the clock conviviality with mustard, onions and relish," most things are constant and there is always a sense of circular return. Indeed just after most of the men left for their jobs some of the Harvard football players who had been there the previous night sat down at the counter in ties and blazers.

Passions run high in defense of personal favorites and the proper way to make them: Should the bread that holds tuna salad be white or rye, plain or toasted? Is mayonnaise, Russian dressing, butter or mustard the correct spread for ham or turkey or roast beef?
