Re: the blowback from the “mayonnaise” letter. Well, the reaction to this transgression of mine was swift and furious. Given that it’s 4/20 and all, perhaps today was not the best day to post that letter. The first thing I want to address is that the sandwich ACTUALLY had Miracle Whip in it (not the apparently verboten and bordering on child abuse that mayonnaise has become, unbeknownst to me). Even when apprised of this, my critics (you know who you are) fired back that even Miracle Whip is a gateway condiment to ranch dressing, then dijonnaise, then real mayo ending, with a lifetime craving for Dijon, the hard stuff. I know that the excitement of their taste buds, and the pleasure centers of their brains associated with taste, puts them on that slippery slope but isn’t it better they are exposed at home where the portions can be controlled by an adult? Don’t tell me they aren’t going to experience it in the world (restaurants are rife with the stuff and every server pushes it on their customers) and shouldn’t they learn at home that the world is a slippery slope and that moderation is the key? And did any of my critics, all up on the high horses for all the world to see, notice that I served her a turkey sandwich which could have been full of nitrates and steroids? Just goes to show where their priorities are and where their hypocrisy lies! KEEP YOUR LAWS OFF MY SANDWICH! All the Best, TVA.
