Here's the backstory:
One Saturday night, Jon and I were driving around searching for Sopranos locations (P.S. They tore down Satriale's!), and we somehow came up with the brilliant idea of combining words describing sadness with the names of different foods. I think it started with "depretzel" and then just went on from there. The formula is to start with a word describing some sort of sadness and to end with a food. Here's what we have so far:
depretzels (depressed + pretzels)
melancholyflower (melancholy + cauliflower)
blue berries (blue + blueberries)
ennui sausage (ennui + anduoille sausage)
glum pudding (glum + plum pudding) from reader Lorraine
it's all in your head of lettuce (it's all in your head + head of lettuce)
malaise-onnaise (malaise + mayonnaise)
dismallows (dismal + marshmallows) from reader Laurel
watermeloncholia (watermelon + melancholia) from reader Lorraine
New: despairrots (despair + carrots) from reader Sandra
New: misory soup (misery + miso soup) from reader Sandra
New: painut bitter sadwich (pain, bitter, sad + peanut butter sandwich) from reader Sandra
New: cries pudding (cries + rice pudding) from reader Sandra
New: cryin' berries (cryin' + cranberries, with a Southern accent) from reader Sandra
Triple kudos to Sandra for "painut bitter sadwich." Anybody got an addition to the list?
