Food For...........

Forget Trump, Global Warming and next season of America's Got Talent! Today I saw the future in all it's horror: a Vegan Hot Dog Stand on Orchard Street! To say this is offensive is an understatement akin saying Hitler didn't have many Jewish friends. Don't dwell on the logic of either. But meantime, consider that for a New York Jew, even a nonpracticing Atheist one like me, Orchard Street is still Sacred Ground. I am not talking about the tenement buildings. They were vermin infested, cramped airless hovels with minimal amenities built to accommodate immigrants who thought they had arrived in heaven on earth. The same cramped, creaking apartments now rent to yuppies for thousands a month who feel the same. No, I am talking about ORCHARD STREET! In it's time it was nearly an an entire world. It had everything and everything was cheap.

And you knew who you were dealing with. Like Friedman. The guy I got my sox from for or 30 years, give or take a bit. And pickles from a barrel, real pickles from Gus's who, if you were a regular, gave you the good ones up from the bottom. That is all gone. Now we got vegan hot dogs.

So first off, Vegan Hot Dogs are no more hot dogs than a Big Mac is a Hamburger. If you don't get that, you are clearly a pitiful excuse, a waste of space and you are probably going to vote for Trump because you like his hair.

Now about these "VEGAN HOT DOGS!" Are they really made from vegans? Or in this case maybe they are called that because they recently passed through a Vegan. Yeah, that is exactly what I mean. Now, there's real food for thought! Almost as bad as the list of stuff they make them from. And who but some dickhead living in a 6^th floor walk-up tenement for thousands a month would pay $7.00 (Coconut Bacon extra) for one? 

Look at the snapshots and say Goodnight.

Now look closer:

OK, now read the list of "ingredients"
