You're slipping, Stan... you didn't order anything that goes with
ketchup.

I don't think I'd travel 90 miles to eat half a small chicken at a
kosher deli for an outrageous price of $21.... coulda bought a whole
rotisseried chicken at your local stupidmarket deli for like $6. If
I'm gonna go to a kosher deli and pay outragious prices I'm gonna
order something that I cant get elsewhere. That chicken soup looks
canned to me. And that measly portion of dried out kasha looks from
hunger, could they spare it.... and I feed those horse carrots to the
deer, a five pound bag only costs $2.49 retail... and ain't all
carrots kosher, I mean why order carrots at a kosher deli... it's like
traveling to Chinatown and ordering boiled carrots.... I don't get it,
don't they have carrots in PA? You shouda ordered a kasha k'nish,
some kishka, and tried the chopped liver... and ate a hot dog w/kraut
washed down with a cel-ray tonic while waiting for a zoftig tongue n'
pastrami combo on club, and a plate of fries with a fresh bottle of
Heinz. And no sour tomatos, what kinda Jew Joint is that???
