I wish we all had something to love as much as this guy.

I’m just saying out loud what everybody already knows: raisins are really just rotted grapes.

Its a “food” born out of hunger and desperation. At first, for many, it was the last best option….it was that or starve.

(two early Romans walking through a vineyard)

Ari: I’m SO hungry…maybe those grapes are still good….
Marcus: Man, those are old and spoiled.
Ari: (eats grape)… Hey they’re…(gulp)…….”not bad”…

Misshapen, discolored, unpleasantly sugary. It’s a food you can tell is spoiled just by looking at it. They add a disagreeably greasy, slimy, overly sweet quality to everything they touch. The primal innocent in me thinks they look like big black boogers.

Few things on earth have generated more disappointment than a raisin cookie. You see a cookie- you think….wow! chocolate chip….and then – dammit raisin

All of the above applies to prunes, apricots, figs, etc. as well. Any dried food. (exception: turkey jerky, which is delicious)

But “Sun-dried tomatoes”? (….Juan, why you throwing those tomatoes away? We can *sell* those!….)

Disgusting. A practice I hope, for hygiene purposes, we can all agree to end soon.
