fat, anti-intellectual, lazy drunks 

Hey!  Who are you calling anti-intellectual?

Pretty much everyone knows that arugula is grown in small underground greenhouses in France, jammed with loving care in between the marijuana plants (that they stealthily fly over Belgian airspace into Amsterdam) and the truffle beds.  Real Americans eat iceberg, topped with gooey red orange French freedom dressing.

Great post, you elitist.  I had no idea you were so politically attuned.

Yes. Arugula or rocket is usually served with good Italian foods. Its actually peasant food in Europe, not really that elite. Here in the States we think anything foriegn is exotic so maybe some folks think Arugula is fancy stuff. I have grown some rocket with seeds from Italy that tasted hot, like horseradish if you know what I mean. Personally, I am not a big rocket fan, I prefer watercress.


One fly does it all....

yeah. there are some people who'd like you to think we believe anything other than iceberg lettuce is fancy.  you know, i bet if he'd called it rocket, he'd probably have gotten points for connecting with the people.  or, it would have been ignored, cause the talking heads wouldn't have known what he was discussing.  of course, the thing about regional names for foods is you kind of have to grow up in the region to know them.

i try to avoid all this political crap, but it just seeps in.  bastards.
