Presidential snacks: Obama’s shopping spree — 17 Comments

  1. Aw, pork rinds aren’t so bad. I think the processed, bagged version are a Texas thing- my dad loved them, too.

    Hispanics and Filipinos know them as chicharrones. They can be found in New Mexico too, and believe it or not, they’re dynamite in a burrito.

  2. Somebody wake me up when we get a real President who eats a potted meat and mayonaise samich. If not familiar just picture corn beef hash in a blender on”puree” for a good 5 minutes. Its the shiznitt! No….its Lincolnest!

  3. Bleh – potted meat sandwiches are not very tasty. Now deveiled ham on ritz crackers and your golden.

    Pork rinds can also be tasty – however many of the bagged ones are not so. Fresh made ones are a totally different story in flavor and texture, they are hard to describe as they are a strange combination of crunchy, chewy, light/airy, and fatty. Ever have a really fresh well made doughnut that is like eating a chewy puff of heavy dough? Similar concept.

    If you have ever had cracklins it is a very similar taste/texture, but then that is pretty much one of those “country” type foods also. However they are popular enough in cornbread even some non-country only people will have consumed some.

    The bagged rinds are heavily dependent on how old they are – I don’t know what the shelf life is but I can assure you it is really short. The only place I *ever* purchase them from is places that I know sell them quickly. Those are usually good and easy to eat a whole bag, but those places are few and far in between. Old ones end up being simply greasy and chewy and taste about like old grease smells.

    Every once in a while a farmer will sell some fresh made ones on the side of the road – there is nothing like them at all.

    like we would know the truth if he bought a molsens, or beef jerky?”

    That and bowling a 180+ (vs 30 something) and he’d be an ok guy.

  5. > Cottage cheese belongs in blintzes—and only in blintzes.

    ======================
    WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG.
    ======================

    Cottage Cheese belongs in the wastebin. Or down the garbage disposal. Take your pick, although the former needs to be taken out immediately, so the latter is more optimal.

  6. > and believe it or not, they’re dynamite in a burrito.

    Especially about four hours after you eat the burrito…

    :oP

    … not to suggest I don’t appreciate the pork rind or two once in a while…

    Don’t be silly. Black people don’t bowl.

    :oP

  8. > Bread, bread and more bread . . . that’s not health food.

    They make tomatoes and peaches out of bread now?

    Man, I thought the left didn’t like hybrids… now you tell me it’s only hybrid grains?

  9. Actually, in seriousness. This is just another BS “photo-op” designed to make him appear “just like a regular guy” as opposed to the privileged elitist he really is. I will lay HUGE odds that that’s the first time he’s even been in a market for “shopping” in 20 years.

    I want to see the reverse angle, like at this photo-op:
    What they dont show you tells you everything you need to know.

  10. heck…

    he is from indonesia…

    i wonder if he likes durien? 🙂

    [my wife is indonesian, its taken me a while to get used to durien… it has strategic usages though. if you have a western person who just wont leave, just break it out and have a snack… wow!!!]

    and Thomas, can you imagine obama on the bowling alley? that would be an interesting sight.

  11. Maybe we need to put a question i the first debate: Do you prefer a) cottage cheese with ketchup, b) organic arugula, or c) grilled steak with cantalope for dessert.
