I wrote last month, in a rather sarcastic vein (it's my superpower), that food packaging can be incredibly obvious. It was when I had discovered that tea could be served in a cup. I know! Who would have thought it?
Well, that sort of universe expanding knowledge goes beyond hot leaf beverages, let me tell you. In recent years I've took to keeping pepperoni on hand because it livens up a sandwich. Ham and swiss on rye? Toss on a few pepperoni. Even good old bologna on white bread becomes a party of tastiness with it added. In fact, pepperoni might be right up there with bacon as a garnish. You can even snack on it too. I'm not sure there's a meal it would not enhance.
Yesterday as I was making lunch, I grabbed pepperoni to add to the ham and provolone cheese on wheat sandwich I was intent upon. It was then that I saw, in bold print right on the front of the package, in capital letters and with an exclamation point for added emphasis, that pepperoni was GREAT ON PIZZA!
Pepperoni pizza? Are you kidding me? I can put that on pizza?
Mind. Blown. I wish I'd have thought about it before. Why doesn't somebody tell me these things?
