White People Food

A few weeks ago, we went to the San Mateo Harvest Festival. Despite the name, there was little harvest related to be found. Mostly crafts dealers, jewelers, artists, and more than anything else, overpriced packaged food.At 5 to 7 bucks a bottle, this stuff isn't cheap. And it goes quick too. But it's so tasty. And there's so many samples. Highlights from what we didn't pick up:

• Wine flavored chocolate sauce
• Scotch enriched butterscotch (same booth as above)
  
• Wine flavored jams and jellies (oddly, different booth from above)
• Cake in a box (for like 10 bucks a pop. I mean come on, buy some duncan hines)
• Fudge
• Bar-b-que sauce
• Soups
• Cheese
• Cheese soups

The list goes on and on. We see this sort of thing every week, at the farmer's market, but this was a whole different scale. There's an odd sort of buyer's remorse inherent in these things. They seem like such a good idea at the time, but really now, they're not all that special. And it's hard to find a good reason to use it, I feel the need to invite someone over to crack open the jams in that picture.

Oh, also, apparently Jossie wants some too.
