what the government is doing with its surplus raisins. They are pressing them on the local foodbank, who in turn is pressing them on the trashy and parasitic neighbors. The neighbors are using them, as well as other particularly non-appealing foods as leverage in the byzantine intrigues they have going in order to get interminable rides, bogus child support and attention.
They kicked a box of these same government surplus raisins down to me last week, and yesterday, I was lazy enough to eat them instead of going to the store and buying more feasible foodstuffs.
I don't even dislike raisins, but I have been influenced by years of propoganda that says they are gross. Also, despite what the USDA says, they are not an appropriate food for every meal; the USDA, according to the box copy apparently recognizes meals called "mid-morning" and "study break."
They also give recipes. There's raisin/yam patties, carrot raisin salad (the ingredients: carrots, raisins, mayo. They add (in a manor that I find rather coquettish for a government agency) "Lemon juice, if you like." Most appallingly, they include a recipe for "raisin sauce"( Ingredients: raisins, water, brown sugar, and vinegar.)
which they suggest you use on desserts or meats.
