HUNGRY GERALD

HG has always been very fond of peanut brittle. Many Bronx “Candy Stores” sold the good stuff. Young HG ate a lot. Cheap. Tasty. HG’s peanut brittle noshing has become more sophisticated through the years. HG is happy to report that at age 94, HG’s peanut brittle passion is as vibrant and lusty as ever. And–HG has discovered the ulimate peanut brittle—the brand is Brittle Brothers. The Brothers are the champions of the brittle world.  Their product: Not too sweet and super generous amount of peanuts. Yes, the peanut/brittle ratio is life enhancing. HG chomps away at this taste marvel accompanied by glasses of fruity red wine. This is the happy climax to BSK’s creatively crafted dinners. Brilltle Brothers makes equally wonderful Pecan Brittle and Cashew Brittle (Also. Bacon Brittle. HG will pass). Today, HG bought some pricey Virginia Diner chocolate covered peanut brittle. HG wants to discover if this is “gilding the lily”.
