With the holidays around the corner, we’ve turned our thoughts to spending and who we spend our money with. Our topic this week is companies so sinister that they’ve changed the course of history. Dana shares the dark history behind the Nestle company and all it’s evil deeds. Nydia tells us all about the United Fruit Company now known as Chiquita Banana and the massacre they may have been responsible for. Cindy brings us the tale of the Barilla Pasta, Hobby Lobby and Chic Fil A and LGBTQ+ controversies.
For dinner this week, Cindy brought us a dish right out of the Caribbean in honor of the banana republics created by the United Fruit Company. She prepared Puerto Rican cube steak and onions with a side of mofongo, a dish made from plantains (cooking banana). For dessert, Cindy made us an inside out apple pie. If you’ve never tried one, you are missing out. Our dinner was paired with Seven Falls Cellar Merlot. This wine was a smooth Merlot with notes of juicy dark fruits and cocoa. An excellent choice for the topic of the week.
