a food question I didn't expect to have to ask

[redbird]

cattitude has just sent a break-up message to Goya foods, having discovered via Twitter that their president is an ardent Trump supporter.

After twenty-five happy years, we are looking for other sources of canned beans worth the eating, and of olive oil.

My notes from Washington say that O Organics canned black beans are acceptable but bland, and Eden Organic navy beans are good.

I realize this is small potatoes compared to having to break up with a close friend or partner, or cut off a relative, for similar reasons--but I haven't had to do that (which may say something positive about my family). Speaking of family, boycotting food for political reasons was part of my upbringing--we did without grapes for years, to support the United Farm Workers.

Alas.

I remember the grapes! And rejoicing when we could eat them again.

(These days it's not so clear. AFAICT, no union-picked grapes ever appear in my local grocery stores. There's supposed to be a stamp on the crate/box?)
