20th Century Food Crimes, Friday 6/9, First Period

"One of the things I truly love about these old ass recipes," said Summer, which was always a good way for a class to begin now, wasn't it, "was how inventive they were in finding things to put into other things that you might not normally have thought of. Is it a crime to put something into another thing and pass it off as food you'd want to eat or have someone else eat? Let's find out."

“I think,” Stark said, eyeing her a little nervously, “that it could be a crime. Yes.”

"This week, we're going to have a look at how bologna can be a boat for, what else? Creamed corn, and how apples are a great place for your prawns.

“Apples are great for pies,” Stark countered. “Not prawns. Why would you do that?” He didn’t actually expect an answer to that question besides, perhaps, ‘why not?’ He shook his head. “Although maybe it’s…fine?” He didn’t think so but he’d been wrong before. “Have you tried these, Summer?”

"I've made them before," said Summer, deftly not answering the question. "And, of course, if we're talking food inside of food, we'd be remiss not to at least mention the turducken, which is, of course, a chicken in a duck in a turkey. We don't have time to make one of those, but I did bring one, and also I made it Wellington, because people went nuts for Wellingtoning things in the mid-century, and it's another example of putting one food in another!"

"That just seems…excessive." Stark shook his head. "I should be used to that. Right. We should get on with it."

She did like bubbly!

"So....potential cheese, potential wine, potential fruit, but not sangria, you don't think..."

She had a few ideas bubbling up, now, too.

"Ug!" She said, eloquently. "I want to guess, but I also don't want to spoil the surprise!"
