Here's the info on that Government publication I mentioned.  It's published
by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) for the purposes of clearing up
exactly what it is you're eating at restaurants.

It's available from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Printing Office,
Washington, D.C. 20402.  It is 50 pages long and can be purchased for
$2.75 (U.S.) and should be asked for by its document number:
017-012-00341-9.

I'd be interested in some of these names too.  If someone's willing to
shell out $2.75 for this booklet, please post some good examples.
