HG/BSK had a jolly meal tonight in a St, John, New Brunswick, motel room (will be at HG/BSK’s Prince Edward Island summer paradise tomorrow). Tonight the feast was old-fashioned tomato and meat sauce lasagna plus much red wine.Gifted daughter Lesley R. bought the lasagna at a very good Italian grocery-delicatessen-restaurant in Providence. (Also purchased prosciutto, white anchovies, etc. for her hungry parents’ motor voyage. Lucky HG/BSK). As HG enjoyed the lasagna, HG speculated on food fashions. Lasagna, “Sunday gravy”, and other traditional southern Italian dishes are making a comeback (Northern Italian cuisine took over from “red sauce” some years ago). Yes, food fashions come and go. Kale was the fashionable vegetable for a few years and has been overtaken by cauliflower (Many fast food highway restaurants are serving fried cauliflower nuggets as a French fry alternative. Salt caramel is now a very popular ice cream flavor. Some fast food places now offer salt caramel smoothies. HG’s favorite ice cream flavor is Maple Walnut. Butter Pecan remains but Maple Walnut has disappeared. A pity.
