Do I want to hear about the geo-political reasons for my menu tonight? Not really, but i swear the waitress at Karv last night, was about to go into this kind of rant. To explain why they were serving mango rhubarb crisp instead of strawberry rhubard, the explanation would have gone something like this: We ran out of the strawberry crisp...because, well, the closure of Chinese sweatshops has affected shipment of mangoes from India through Asia, and caused woe to the strawberry industry in California. So its mangoes tonight!
What a way to learn about your food... OK I completely made up the entire political connection here, but it would be pretty hilarious if that is how I learned about my politics! Food for thought.
