Trailer food, the new fusion? | |
|

So I'm on the train this morning wearing a black winter suit (because I'm a jackass and didn't get the "memo" about it being in the 90's today) literally melting into my suit when something someone said from across the aisle jolted me from my heat induced stupor. A little girl was pointing to an ad behind me and asking her mom "What is that?". I'd noticed the ad for the American Peanut Grower's Council when I walked on the train, and it was a giant poster with a photo of a slice of sandwich bread with peanut butter slathered on it and 5 slices of banana neatly arranged on top. The slogan said "It was good enough for the King of Rock and Roll, it should be good enough for you." Okay, so it's not the most catchy writing in the world, but the photo had me craving one something fierce. Upon the child's inquiry the mother looked at the ad for a moment, turned to her daughter, and confidently stated: "It's sushi". While I sat there slack jawed (I thought for a moment that the woman was referring to me, because no one, NO ONE in their right mind could possibly mistake a peanut butter and banana sandwich for sushi), the daughter followed up with: "What's sushi?". To which the mother answered "It's Chinese food... you wouldn't like it". Okay, I admit, I made the last half of that sentence up, but it was implied. I wasn't even so much offended that this woman didn't know what sushi was, after all there are only 463 sushi restaurants in New York. What really got my goat is that this poor girl was going to grow up thinking peanut butter and banana sandwiches are the devil's food. I mean who could not love that rich creamy peanut butter meld with the lightly sweet satiny banana all wrapped up in air rich Wonderbread goodness? Ohh the travesty! |
