I recently stopped at Circle K for lunch. I chose a can of Armour Vienna Sausage. Who could resist when the label states that it is America’s Best? As a side, I purchased a four pack of saltine crackers and my beverage pairing was a Diet Pepsi. I chose the comfort of my vehicle to enjoy my meal accompanied by some John Lee Hooker from my satellite radio.
While opening the can of sausage is a snap...no need to carry a Swiss Army Knife anymore, I cannot say the same for the crackers. I had to use my teeth to break the bond on the wrapper. Once that barrier was broken the meal was splendid. The sausages are consistent and kudos to the genius chefs at Armour. Imagine getting beef, chicken, and pork in one flavor packed little weenie swimming in salt laden chicken broth. Who knew that lips, ears, lungs, and tails would taste so good? My diet Pepsi did not disappoint and its metallic flavor put a smile on my face as I recalled the time I impulsively licked a piece of galvanized conduit. This was a five star dining experience and will definitely join my lunch rota, possibly surplanting cold Beefaroni straight from the can which does require the Swiss Army Knife.

I enjoyed your in-depth review with my morning coffee and fruitcake ('tis the season), but I must disagree. The best lunch ever is an all-beef hot dog of doubtful origin from the chefs that set up in front of Home Depot on the weekends. Nothing compares to a fresh, out-of-the-pan hot dog topped with mushrooms, sauerkraut, onions, ketchup, mustard, and anything else they have, with a cold aluminum can of "The Real Thing" Coke, and a bag of crispy, salty Fritos corn chips on the side. Best eaten "al fresco" at the picnic table provided, where you can share with any avian opportunist that shows up while people watching.
