Then you found out that most food was originally sent by water... my buddies sent pizza from the neighborhood that would have green fuzz on the edges after 30+ days at sea... still worth fighting over to get a slice. My neighbor, Mrs. Natale sent me pastelles and she did something special to the to make them chewy so they were the star attraction at Xmas '67. And, as I remember, 33% of our daily discourse revolved around food... My whole team loved Mrs. Natale.
