Pro. equip. I can understand, but what is pro. ingredients (part from
snake oil)? Is it a polite way of saying "secret ingredient", or do
pro. cooks have a license to buy things ordinary people must do without.

C'mon, I've been working with pro. chefs that never brought anything
special into the kitchen except the odd "secret spice mix". Ok, I do
have things in my kitchen that I have to buy at the chemist rather than
at the local supermarket, but - pro. ingredients???
