When everybody has a label
This is what happens when we try to put a label on everyone and everything...
Rice and beans; clear enough.
Mexican food; clear enough.
Chinese food; clear enough.
Latino food? Now you're losing me. Is that all Spanish speaking American countries' foods but Mexico?
Spanish food? Is that food from Spain? I didn't see any paellas, or cazon, or puntillitas, or gambas al ajillo in the aisle, so it must be another way for poor Giant to try to say Latino.
What it really is, is that poor Giant, just like me, is so confused by all the names that we keep inventing to label a certain segment of our population that they're trying to cover all bases.
Conspicuously absent is "Hispanic Foods." Is that out of vogue now?
