Peanuts Begins by Charles Schulz for February 23, 2021

Thanks to NHK World TV I discovered that vegetables sliced at an angle do taste better. Not sure why, but maybe it has to do with exposing more surface to the tongue. Or the air. Or something.

Sandwiches cut at an angle taste better to me, guess it’s all in the mind!

Bread and butter is not a sandwich until you put something else in there, fold it or slice it how ever you like.

Bread and peanut butter is a sandwich by itself. No jelly, please.

And then there’s a wish sandwich.

This is why it does not pay to talk to Lucy.

Fermentation? Sounds like a fine wine.

But when you cut the bread all of the calories leak out too. I like toast and butter.

And this concludes another episode of “Little Known Cooking Facts” with Lucy Stewart.

Eventually, Lucy went on to found Fussbudget Microbrewery.

I’m impressed with Lucy’s vocabulary at the apparent age of 4 (whether or not she knew what she was talking about!).

I have all the collected volumes, but I’m sure I’ve never seen this strip before. Wonder why Schulz chose to omit it.

Why do I think a young Alton Brown read this and was inspired?

How about a nice greasy pork sandwich served in a dirty ashtray?

Well, this is a much better explanation from Lucy than “ they lose the flavor if you cut them”.

Since when did little kids become so smart to know about the facts of cutting bread

Where’s America’s Test Kitchen when you need them?

Lucy spreading it on thick!

Dang! Lucy really sounds like she knows what she is talking about! I wouldn’t disagree with her.
