What Makes America Great!

Christmas Eve: Every once in a while I am reminded that regardless of the political turmoil and associated mishagaz that seems to pervade just about everything this holiday season, there is still an underlining spirit in this country that makes us Americans who we are.

Here is an example of something that has absolutely nothing to do with that. In fact, this is probably one of the dumbest waste of supermarket shelf space that I have seen since The Food Emporium, our local market, started featuring several varieties of frozen garlic bread. 

Anyway, about this stuff: is this intended for Vegans who barbecue? If so, what do they barbecue? And why do they need a special sauce for it? The easy target would be to say it is not for use by Vegans, it is rather for use on Vegans! Barbecued Chuck Steak? Add a bit of zest to Elbow Macaroni? Eh, like I said, too easy a target. No, I blame this on Trump. Meantime, I am looking forward to proudly observing our Jewish tradition tomorrow by having dinner in Chinatown and then going to a movie. Take that you barbecued Vegans - and never forget the words of Pogo!
