Fourteen Passive-Aggressive Appetizers — it sounds like something McSweeney’s would print, but no, it’s The New Yorker. And unlike most New Yorker pieces this one is actually hilarious.
Two personal favorites:
7. Have you ever noticed how sun-dried tomatoes and top-grade peyote look exactly the same? Not a suggestion, really. Just saying.
8. Another one for the vegetarians. If they think they like tofu, wait until they sample your delicious mock tofu — all you need is chicken fat, pureed pork loin, and five cups of piping-hot tallow. Cheryl will never know the difference.
Almost makes me want to renew my log-expired subscription. Almost.
