. . . and other useless rants.
That's going to be the title of my book, if I ever write one. I have a lot of rants, and I don't know why, but the one about fry bread really gets me riled up.
In the U.S. the natives go nuts over it like they have a patent on fry bread. Everyone is like, NOMUHGAWD YOU GOTTA TRY MY RECIPE NO ONE'S IS BETTER! Even though their recipe only differs by 1 microgram of sugar from every other recipe.
I mean, every culture in the history of the world has had fry bread and every form of it imaginable. Every form of dough has been fried and had sugar and cinnamon or any number of other sweet goodness put on top, in, or around. The treat is so glorious that every civilization has done it.
If it is food, it has been fried.
And there's always someone who thinks they invented the idea of taking store bought biscuits, frying them, and adding cinnamon and sugar.
Okay, first, that, like any other fry bread, is not new. Second, it's really not that good.
Where am I going with this? I don't really know, so I'll wrap it up here. And if you haven't had fry bread yet (they call 'em elephant ears at the fair), find a recipe, and make them. It's so easy even you can do it. And if you really want to amaze your friends, buy a can of biscuits, fry 'em up, and tell everyone it's the best thing ever.
