Costco Strawberry Sundae
An Ode to a Cultural Touchstone
A Lot on My Plate is the free sister-newsletter of Omnomnivore. Here I share, somewhat erratically, what I'm eating—with a bit less textual fluff and no recipes. For regular, long-form food writing, please consider subscribing to Omnomnivore.
The stated goal of this newsletter is to not be long-winded, so I will refrain, but I mean look at this thing. Twelve ounces of utter perfection for $2.50. Absolute icon of American consumerism. Enough sugar to tranquilize an anxious shopper. Enough nostalgia to actually finish the thing. There are many foods its equal, but none its superior.
