The other night when I came home late from work two little triangles remained from my daughter's grilled cheese sandwich. So I promptly popped them in my mouth and ate them. My daughter came back into the dining room a half hour later to find the rest of her dinner eaten and started wailing. I had to make her a bean burrito.

However, I don't truly think certain foods reflect economic status. Once when I was in high school I was at a friends house and they had Sloppy Joes for dinner. I made the comment that I had never eaten Sloppy Joes before. My friend's rude aunt replied, "Well your family must have been a lot more rich than this one!" I actually grew up lower middle class, no doubt about it. And I have never eaten more Sloppy Joes than I have in the past 3 months living with my husband's parents, who are easily making more than 3 times the amount my parents ever will.

P.S. Sloppy Joes are very gross, and although my family might have been crudely "not rich" I am glad my parents never subjected me to such atrocious cuisine.

Not all sloppy joes are created equal. Manwiches, to be sure, are vile and probably what they fed the Manticore on Star Wars.

the "i" makes the "g" soft so it is pronouncd joo-SEP-pee Spelled "guiseppi" the "g" is hard so it is pronounced gwee-SEP-pee. Just thought you'd like to know.

the reason sloppy joes are gross are because they contain ground beef. which is gross.
Gidget, I agree that certain foods do not necessarily indicate economic status. There is a very famous restaurant in NYC, Union Square Cafe (coincidentally USC!)......specializes in comfort food at outrageous prices....meatloaf, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, chicken noodle soup, etc.. Those things are still classics. Also, I love going to a nice taco stand in East LA and having dinner for $5....6 al pastor tacos and a pina or an horchata. I will pass on the Sucio Jose, though. Thanks.
