      On one hand, I am this man. I am a gourmand and a glutton; a deli is a dangerous dangerous place for me. So I feel exactly what he’s feelings.

      On the other hand this is the early 1930’s. Artificial preservatives are pretty much limited to salts, vinegars and sugars right? There are no zip-lock bags, no cling wrap, no plastics at all. Food in general is expensive and these kinds of foods are the higher end of the price curve. The wife’s horror has genuine economic merit.Report
