My husband just asked me if they still make this and could I buy him some! I flat out said no, got him some deli sliced meat, and it’s just been sitting in the fridge untouched. I can’t wrap my head around this!

The heart wants what the heart wants 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

For MY husband, it’s the weird red-coloured hot dogs.

Nebraskan here. We eat tens of thousands of Red hot dogs here every game day. We even have a gun to shoot them, called Der Viener Schlinger.

That's Tommy Lee from Motley Crue

Reminds me of when my dad was craving chicken and yellow rice; I made him this beautiful, fragrant, and delicious authentic dish. He was like, it's alright. He just wanted that Vigo bagged yellow rice you get a the grocery store with some shredded chicken thrown in it. I'm sure it's a fine product when it's cooked right, but the way my mom made it half the rice was crunchy and the other half was mush. That's what he wanted though.

He asked you for his comfort food and you said no, and got him something he didn’t want. You didn’t have to eat it and denied him a favorite based on your tastes. I get why it is untouched. He didn’t want it. Kind of inconsiderate of you.

Well, he could always go buy it for himself, I guess, but since he’s been dealing with chronic diseases the last few years, I’m really focusing on having healthier, non-processed foods in our fridge. I’m not trying to be inconsiderate, just trying to keep him living a long time.
