- Pro. equip. I can understand, but what is pro. ingredients (part from

- C'mon, I've been working with pro. chefs that never brought anything

- Yes, but Mrs. Fields aren't exactly chefs - they're industrial food
- processors, and they must make hundreds of tons of cookies per day. I'd
- imagine that "professional ingredients" means substances which have been
- designed in a laboratory to be cheap, convenient to manufacture, and to last
- a long time. Oh, and which taste acceptable. :-)
