According to Wiki, they’ve been downsized in recent years “to appeal to health-conscious consumers.”
That’s hardly a “downsized” one he’s scarfing, is it? Maybe that’s why she’s POed.
Yeah, Wikipedia alludes to it – a deep fried filled doughnut is traditional, but people are making smaller ones, so people can partake even if it has too many calories.
Woulda been too over the top if she was eating a baked one. Because that’s just avoiding oil and therefor whole reason for the season.
Well, Jewish relationship humor, written by an man. Maybe see it as Love is … but with clothes and grownups.
I like the subtle irony in Baby Face– one week he says? In most middle eastern men, 5 o clock shadow is well developed before afternoon.
So why is that funny?
It’s funny because he can eat it, while she, for some reason, can’t (probably the ‘counting calories’ thing suggested above), so it’s revenge for her eating a sub sandwich in front of him during Passover, when he, an observant jew, couldn’t eat leavened bread. Which is inherently amusing, but also funny because he waited months on end for the opportunity, and took it. Revenge is a dish best served cold, covered in powdered sugar and filled with jelly.
Pitas generally have leavening. Not kosher for Passover. If they were, you’d see a hell of a lot fewer attempts to make sandwiches with matzoh.
