Too funny! When Angela was little, she had a fascination with the little
Lunchables. We mainly only got them for picnics. We usually went on a lunch
picnic when my parents came to visit. I'd make or we'd buy sandwiches along
the way and also some fruit, veggies and maybe cheese. She didn't like
sandwiches so wouldn't eat them. She actually wouldn't eat much of the
Lunchable either but she always wanted them.

At some point, the supermarket sold "cracker cuts" meat and cheeses that
were just the right size for a Ritz. Ah but they didn't come in a cute
little package so they never got eaten. Didn't even work if I put them in my
own containers. Kids!

If you tell me which brand, I'll look up the ingredients for you.

Oh cool, Steve's into ingredients too. Well, I give you Hostess Cherry
Fruit Pies:

"enriched wheat flour (flour, ferrous sulfate (iron), b vitamins
(niacin, thiamine mononitrate (b1), riboflavin (b2), folic acid)),
cherries, water, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (soybean,
cottonseed and/or canola oil, beef fat), high fructose corn syrup,
vegetable oil (palm, soybean), sugar, corn syrup, glycerine, contains
2% or less of: modified corn starch, soy flour, salt, whey, soy
protein isolate, calcium and sodium caseinate, calcium carbonate,
calcium sulfate, agar, locust bean gum, dextrose, sodium phosphate,
cornstarch, natural and artificial flavors, sodium propionate and
sorbic acid (to retain freshness), fd&c red 40, yellow 5, blue 1."

I love that they add a bit of locust bean gum. It adds just that
little touch of je ne sais quoi!

And again, "to retain freshness". That's so good that they pay extra
attention to that. They really love their customers.

I like Snowballs too. When I was a kid, I was always taking things apart. This is how one learns how the world works. Whenever I eat a Snowball, I'll take it apart. The marshmallow coating strips right off. What's under there? It's an upside down Hostess cupcake without the frosting. Most folks don't know they're eating upside down cupcakes.

Yesterday, I had a local favorite: haupia cake. Wonderful stuff. The Swedes believe that unmarried people should not be served cake slices lying on its side. That would mean you won't be married. This cake was served in a manner appropriate for my marital status. That's a good thing - it would be tough to get that slice to stand upright.

Sums your lifestyle up nicely...

It all adds up to a tasty snack. Besides, I am in my mid-seventies, and so far,
that particular combination (Snoballs) has not affected me in any way. Pfffffttt!

In addition to not finding a mate at an advanced age, the Swedes have to be concerned about keeping their cake slices from falling over. It's most worrisome!

"You know your great-great-aunt, the one who hosted three hour family dinners on real silver dinnerware and looked disapprovingly at you if you stole the last cookie from under her watchful eye? Well, she was teaching you a valuable life lesson for living in Sweden€”dont ever be the one to take the last piece of whatever it is youre serving. That last pastry or piece of cake is the trivselbit, the comfort or security piece, and leaving it in peace is a sacred rule of Swedish table manners. Take the second-to-last piece, though, and youre fine."

My wife and I follow this tradition as, I suppose, many married couples will. I tell my wife to finish off a dish we're sharing. She tell me to finish it. I then eat half of the food and pass it to her. She eats half and passes it back to me. I eat half and at that point, it's 1/8 it's original size.. In most cases, that's the end of the game. My wife is not going to pass me a 1/16 bite of food. I win. The secret is to take the first 1/2 bite. Hopefully, she doesn't figure this out. Then again, she doesn't think about stuff like this -
like I do.

Oh dear, what a performance lol Of course every place has its own customs
so they should be respected)) But tell me, after all that passing to and
fro, do you actually take the last bite???

We (in our house) never share a dish the way I hear about in US, so it isn't
a problem )

You'd better look away, then, when my husband and I are sharing dessert
in a restaurant.
