おはようございます。KANOです。今回はこちらの記事から。
The New Yorkerのいつものユーモア読み物。昔流行った食べ物同士の会話。
食べ物の流行りって結構好き。もう見かけなくなったマリトッツォ、結構好きだったのになあ。
fad
意味 （一時的な） 流行
GRAPEFRUIT: Welcome, all. For those who don’t know me, I was a fad breakfast back in the day, and, briefly, I was on top of the world. Then my popularity waned, and I didn’t take it well. I got so deep into gambling debt, my kids didn’t talk to me for years. It can feel like no one understands what you’re going through. But everyone here knows what it’s like to have been an It Food. It’s tough, but we can get through this. Now, who wants to share first?

結構重苦しい設定でうけるw グレープルーツ流行ったねー。
listicle
意味 a piece of writing, such as an article on a website or in a magazine, that takes the form of a list
BRUSSELS SPROUTS: Thanks. Being trendy was such a quick high, you know? Before, I was hated. Then some twenty-two-year-old at BuzzFeed puts you in a listicle, and the world opens up. Now, I’m just . . . normal. It’s awful. I wish I’d never met a balsamic glaze.

dwell on A
意味 〈人が〉A〈不愉快な事〉についてあれこれ考える, こだわる; 〈心· 記憶などが〉A〈物· 事〉から離れない
GRAPEFRUIT: Let’s not dwell on the past. Being bitter isn’t productive. Focus on being sweet—or savory—to move on. Does anyone have coping mechanisms or solutions that they’d like to offer?

whore
意味 (卑) ふしだらな女, あばずれ, 尻軽女; （男の） 女たらし.
SUN-DRIED TOMATOES: “Ooh, I’m Cauliflower, and you can turn me into anything.” What a whore. You still taste like you—you’re not rice!
