I have read all of Clavell's novel output since King Rat. And watched 
the first Version of "Shogun" in 1980 when I was still watching TeeVee.
He does/did great historical novels and since his day job was as a script
writer in Hollywood - many of his yarns have been made into movies and 
babble-box shows. Some great like King Rat and Shogun and some eminently
forgettable like Tai Pan which was adapted by someone not Clavell. They
should have let Clavell do the screenplay rather than the hack they used.

I save them if they are interesting to me and if I think "I'd eat that"
after making the dish in my mind.

I wouldn't pull a gun on you and make you use the stuff. My toppings are
usually very basic. F'rinstance I'll do tomato, onion and mayo on a bacon
cheezeburger. 

I'm not a huge fan of ketchup - not even on my French fries. I'm more
likely to use mayo or tartar sauce if I use anything ... which is not
very often.
