I just stumbled across this gem thanks to @SFoodie, and it seemed like the perfect first post on a blog about eating real food.
I would love to imagine that Simone was being sarcastic, but she is quite serious in her excitement that American cuisine has been represented by absolutely nothing that can in good conscience be considered food. Cuisine in our country is diverse and varied; these processed consumable items represent the lowest common denominator. There are glorious expanses of organic farmland, fabulous chefs and bakers, both at home and professionally, who make dishes that represent classic Americana everyday from fresh, wholesome ingredients. The America represented on this aisle is one of branding, advertising, and consumerism. It has nothing to do with food.
