Dungeness
So while I’m still in seafood mode, I should mention my absolute favorite food is Dungeness Crab.
I grew up eating these west coast crustaceans, dusted with Old Bay seasoning, partnered with slabs of sourdough bread. All I need is a small fork and I can get thru the whole thing in under an hour – no cracking necessary. The obsessive trick is to get every single piece out intact – and dip it in melted butter.
Saw this shirt in Old Navy; but alas, not available as a men’s tee.
Breast-O’-Chicken tuna
Not quite Chicken of the Sea, Breast-O’-Chicken was another product designed to confuse Americans about where tuna actually comes from.
From 1954.
