Food Snobs Manage to Become Even More Obnoxious
It had to happen: once everything became “craft” this and “artisanal” that, what do you do for an encore?
Start “pairing” things. “Artisanal” and “craft” things.
The list includes food, wine, beer, and interestingly, even cannabis where it’s been legalized.
Of course, trend-setting gourmand that I am, I’ve been pairing things for years: peanut butter & jelly, macaroni & cheese, spaghetti & meatballs, ice cream & cake . . . 🙂
P.S.: My son and I recently visited a prestigious liberal arts college that celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. Except that’s not what admission staff, faculty, and even students called it.
Their preferred term: “sesquicentennial.”
