As long as no nitrates or nitrites are used,
I'm okay with that.

I checked out the frozen section of Trader Joe's
a few minutes ago, and they call the ham-and-Gruyere
thing a "French-style flatbread", whatever that means.
I suppose it means a thinner bread layer. I may
consider risking death and buying another one
just to refresh my memory of it.

An extraordinary event occurred recently. TJ's
has apparently recalled their "Quinoa Duo" new
product for not being good enough. I've never
seen any store recall a product for anything other
than a safety reason. But the sign they put up
implied it was entirely due to the product not
being very good. And yet, you can still buy
the aptly-named "Aracini Bites".
