The etymology of the word lasagna is very interesting. It started with the Greek lasanon which meant ‘chamber pot’; later, when the the Romans borrowed the word lasagne (plural of lasagna) came to refer to a dish cooked in such a pot.
(Aside: I sent them a note about the amusing error. "Uh, sorry, you may not understand what a "chamber pot is". It's not a pot for cooking. Rather, it comes from the days before indoor plumbing. A 'chamber pot' is a pot that one would keep in the bed chamber, and would use it when one needed to urinate or defecate. [citations] Altogether, the error you made is somewhat funny, isn't it?")
Since today is Fathers' Day, it kinda overshadowed the other 'important' holiday: Garfield's 27th birthday! It seems appropriate to mention this, since the subject of this thread is his favorite food: lasagna!
