Chile Heads,

I think a  lot of us  believe that what we cook could make it in the retail
market.  I know my daughter-in-law and I have looked into selling our jellies
and salsas.  My son is working to start a catering business.  All of the
questions that appear to anger some are valid issues that we have/are considering.

The biggest  issue  is insurance, particularily liability insurance, for that
time someone gets sick from eating your product.  Any feedback as to how some
of the pros handle this one????  

I remember last year someone posting the story that when he took in one of his
dishes as a holiday gift to collegues that one remarked, ..."hoped that he
didn't get sick from it because then he would have to sue..."
