The statement was not an accusation, it was an observation. Picking 'lettuce' over 'arugula' would be a far more 'in touch'.
Why is it you assume that every statement of mine is in some way supporting McCain? She asked a question, I gave my observation. Most people, except apparently the shoppers in your area, do not have any idea what arugula is.
FAr more Americans have eaten arugula than passion fruit mousse. And it's in every grocery store here, are you saying arugula is not sold in stores by you?
