I wasn’t trying to upset him.
He has given me a packet of advertisement candy similar to Gummy Bears. We were chatting and he talked about being a vegetarian. He also said that he liked those candy. I simply asked him if he was aware how those “gummy bear type” candy is made. I told him to try to find out how this particular brand is made and look for agar based “gelatin-like” cakes, candy …
Here in this country you can buy two kinds of gelatin to make jello - traditional that has to be soaked and a powdered one. One is animal based and the other made from agar.
EDIT to add: I was definitely not describing the process of making gelatine in detail. He was unhappy nevertheless - just like many vegetarians that at certain moment realize that jello, marshmallows, parmesan (and other fancy cheeses (here in Europe) made with animal-based rennet) and other innocuous looking things contain animal based products.
Now I just fast forward to the last six minutes which basically recaps all the information in the show in a watchable format. But it’s not all that satisfying.
When both Thomas Keller of the French Laundry and Eric Schlosser of Fast Food Nation agree that In & Out is where they eat fast food hamburgers, you have a pretty good assurance they’re doing it well and cleanly.
Closest we had to Mexican food in Delaware was sometime in the late 70s or early 80s when a Taco Bell opened in a nearby part of New Jersey. (My wife, who was from California, was very pleased; it wasn’t real Mexican, but it was a start.) A few years later, one opened near my parents place, and a few years after that both Delaware and my part of New Jersey got actual Mexican restaurants run by actual Mexicans.
When I watch it on my DVR I think I can get through an hour episode in less than 30 minutes since every time they come back from commercial breaks they spend several minutes reminding us what happened three minutes ago.
