"Baloney"
6/18/00
There
are a few things that bother me about baloney.
One is the nasty baloney smell you get on your fingers after making a
nice baloney and cheese sandwich. You
get done making a sandwich, sit down in front of the TV, and then decide to
scratch your nose. That is not a
good smell. But even more than the
smell is the juice. Baloney juice?
The only other meat that comes with juice is usually hamburger or a steak
and we’re talking more in the blood range, than the juice range.
And if Baloney doesn’t bleed, then why is that juice in the bottom of
the wrapper? Oh, maybe it’s for a
‘baloney dip.’ A fancy
restaurant gives you baloney on sourdough with a side of foggy baloney juice for
dipping. Mmm, Mmm…makes for a
moist treat.
Back to reality:
The good thing about baloney is they aren’t trying to fool you.
Baloney just sounds bad. Baloney.
Definitely the inventor of baloney was a nice guy, he realized the meat
he created was ridiculously awful so he said, “Aw’ hell we’ll just call
this Baloney.” And people
actually eat this stuff, which is always amazing to me.
I wonder what would have happened had the Baloney guru decided to give
his mystery meat a fancy name. I’m
not sure what would fit this meat, but some word you can't pronounce is
always enticing.
As for other meats that rank on our
list of horrible meats: meatloaf. A
loaf should be light a fluffy. Meatloaf
as we all know has never been described as something even remotely close to
light or fluffy. Rather on the
contrary. Meatloaf has a good
chance of sitting in your gut for a good three days before giving you a case of
the “green apple splatters.” But
even if you like meatloaf, who thought putting meat into a bread pan would be a
good idea?
