I tried some Kale "chips" today at Longos. They were awful, as though somebody had cut up a black garbage bag, battered and then deep-fried it. Like spinach, in other words, but with spinach's one or two nice flavor notes removed and drops of "this-taste-like-such-shit-the-hippies-will-think-its-good-for- them" juice slathered over. And it made me wonder: is this some kind of conspiracy to fool health conscious progressives into eating garbage, or has years of talking on cell-phones caused people's tongues to mutate until they're actually able to consume and enjoy industrial waste? I mean this crap can't really be healthy, can it?
PS. Longos also had free pizza today, which was quite good.
I don't often eat at McDonald's, but when I do it's for the kale and feta breakfast wrap! Mmmm..

ReplyDeleteI have my suspicions that it really is food but it's popular in Northern Germany apparently. There are kale parties or tours "Kohifahrten", and kale festivals. The mind boggles.

Omar's joking is he not? There cannot be a kale and feta breakfast wrap even at MacDonalds.
ReplyDeleteIn Nova Scotia there is and it's rather good! It's a little light on the Kale, but for $5 I won't complain.
