Golly! All this for that tiny little bottle of brown stuff everybody has had on the back of the pantry for years…I mean, admittedly, when you want it, nothing else will do, like for that appetizer you can make by pouring it over cream cheese. I dky but this made me think of that Kaballistic dictum that when one man dies an entire universe is extinguished. It’s kind of a prequel to that sentiment.
