Food Frakker: Strange to some, comfort to others.

I found this instant Indian food product that replicates various street-vender fare.

You just boil the package until it’s warm. Sort of like the Indian version of an MRE.

It doesn’t look quite like the box, but it actually tastes relatively fresh. Not to mention eye-openingly spicey.

Here’s also some hipply packaged cans from the Amul Kool line of milk-based beverages.

I made some more lefse, this time filling it with the cream-sauce pickled herring.

It’s what we call up north a "Norwegian burrito."

Speaking of the old country, I’ve been making rhubarb pie at the bakery. Apparently, people down south haven’t had a lot of experience with this sour, celery-shaped vegetable.

But people have been buying it. The theory is that they all heard the recurring sketch that Garrison Keillor does about rhubarb pie, and they want to know what all the fuss is about.

Here are the pies setting up, before I slather them with whipped cream.
