I originally posted this to Facebook but was reminded of it again today. I thought it was a good one to post to Beetz Me since Paul and Joe Phaumbeetz are the same guy.
So, Pam and I were sitting down eating dinner (Buffalo burgers) this evening looking out over the river and having a nice visit when I asked her for a pickle. A Steinfield's Kosher baby dill to be exact. Then I said, " I wonder where they are made now that Steinfield has sold the Portland operation and closed the Scappoose plant" She read the label out loud and said "product of India". I said, "No! They moved to the mid-west someplace didn't they?" and Pam repeated, "made in India". Never mind what I said next, but I am still ranting. The meat was from Montana, the tomato from Florida, the horseradish from Beaverton, the bread from Seattle, the wine and the blue cheese from Oregon, and the KOSHER dill from India. It is the last jar of Steinfield's I will ever buy. No wonder farmer'smarkets are coming back so strongly.
India? This is amazing...and very sad. What do the people in India know about pickles? Do we grow the cucumbers in Oregon and ship them to India?? Yuck. I'm through with Steinfield's too, JP. Tell Pam I said "thanks a heap." Couldn't she just have lied and "read" Rainier or something?? (PS, I'm glad you've got this blog and will be a steady reader!)
