Today at the supermarket- Wholegrania and the Mystery of Turkey Ham
My daughter asked me to get her some multigrain bread, and having experienced the tedium that accompanies the use of a solitary grain, I obliged. Of course, the bread aisle is one of my favorite places anyway, so I was pleased to see that it was whole grain mania, where I had a choice of 7 grain, 9 grain, 12 grain and 15 grain, not to mention those mathphobes that just call themselves Multigrain. My daughter likes things to the max, so I went for the 15 grain, despite a suspicion that there really aren't 15 kinds of grain. It appears from the ingredients, however, that there are. And the bread is actually pretty good in spite of all those grains.
Since this same daughter doesn't eat red meat, I went to the deli counter to get some turkey ham. Here's what I don't understand. Regular turkey costs about $6.99 a pound and ham costs about $5.99 a pound. So how is that turkey ham, which I presume is regular turkey with some sort of essence of ham added, is $3.99 a pound? It's already turkey, which is $6.99, and then you've added something to it, so unless there's something really bad in what they've added, shouldn't it cost more? Just askin'
