I thought this was funny, don't know why. The first thing I saw upon walking into the Slingerlands-Chops (P-chops, if you don't know) the other day was a shrink wrapped container of "Mire Poix." Nothing against mirepoix, but this is funny. Apparently, Delmartian house-fraus can't be expected to brunoise their own carrots, onions, or celery.
I guess it is kind of good that P-chops is encouraging a certain level of culinary sophistication among the masses (mirepoix is pretty fundamental in my world, I hope that doesn't come off sounding snotty), but this anemic mess of vegetables looks a little sad to me. Expensive too, 2.42$ for a few ounces of veg...
My knives work, so I won't be purchasing this. Enough said.
that's so sad. Funny, but in a very pathetic sort of way.
ReplyDeleteWow, and I thought the pre-sliced cracker barrel was bad...
ReplyDeleteI just bumped into this post again, and just had to say the title is funny as hell.
ReplyDeleteYou, Mr. Dave, are the bringer of sunshine and light. You know, in addition to sausage and bacon.
here's the thing: not every person is a whiz with the knife skills AND they have 2 hours-ish between getting home from work and when homework needs to start to cook eat and clean up after dinner and yet they really love cooking and having a nice meal with the fam. This stuff is the bomb diggity for that person. I love chopping up a mirepoix brunoise as much as the next food obsessed asshole but sometimes I do not have the time to clean peel and chop the veg. This is the reality of life for many people and the kind of attitude portrayed here is what keeps some people from even trying. Enough with the foodie elitism.
