S'mores without graham crackers, chocolate or marshmallows

Only the United States government could come up with this crap. Our Department of Agriculture is celebrating the generations-old Girl Scout tradition of crafting s'mores over an open fire with a 700+ word article explaining why you should consider using other ingredients than those of custom, and stay away from the fire while you do. Stay in the tent and slather marshmallow creme on a slice of angel-food cake with a slice of pineapple. Sure! It's almost exactly the same, right?

Surprised? Not me, we're about 10 to 30 years behind European stupidity.

UK's Boy Scout Association Bans Knives | Cutlery News Journal
Bowing to intense political pressure, UK's Boy Scout Association issued a "guidance" advising its members to no longer bring knives to camping events. Troop leaders feel their leadership went too far with the outright ban. Prior to this ruling scouts were allowed to carry penknives

You're right. BUT... the British scout organization is a private concern. What stung me was the fact that the woman who wrote the article I cited is a US government employee, and I am literally paying this USDA twit to suggest that we make "s'mores" by sliding a slab of pineapple and a carefully-measured smear of marshmallow creme between two slices of angel-food cake, while we sit in a tent, safely distant from the campfire.

That's not quite my idea of good government.

I don't advocate for the woman who wrote the article to be shot. Yet. But she should be fired forthwith, or at least assigned to a task that might actually prove useful to someone besides herself. Writing astoundingly stupid articles about mundane subjects is not my idea of what government 'service' ought to be.

Actually sounds tasty but ditch the pineapple. Maybe try Nutella and marshmallow spread on angel food. Yum. Oh and they really need to stop wasting our money.

Hehehe. I'm a pineapple fan, actually -- drink a class of pineapple-grapefruit juice every morning. But you don't make s'mores with pineapple. Or marshmallow creme. Or angel food cake.

I just get a bit frosted seeing someone on the taxpayers' tab writing mindless articles about how to make a particular concoction without actually using any of the ingredients of that concoction because... what? They're sweet? Fattening? Expensive? Not politically correct?

Did anyone, any taxpaying citizen of the United States, ask the damned government about how s'mores ought to be made?

Grr-r-r-r-r!  :mad:
