Penzys is coming out swinging...
from their most recent email, talking about changes in how they’re doing things, what they’re planning, etc...
“And regularly $5.29 Mitchell Street Seasoning and $3.95 Aleppo Pepper for a limited time at just $2 each. Mitchell Street: Smoky, Garlicky, Yum! Nothing but happiness there. With Aleppo Pepper the story is more complex. Where this really tasty Pepper originally comes from is a town in Syria. For a long time, because of the war there, our Aleppo Pepper has come from just across the border in Turkey.
Many of those who voted for an unqualified, Russia compromised, openly racist President have so far been spared the costs of their actions. The people of Syria have not been so lucky. Many in Syria have not been able to dodge the reality of our election, and have paid an incredible cost for Americans rejecting a well qualified woman who understood diplomacy and how to rally allies to our side in favor of a candidate that has simply given the people of Syria up to the wishes of the Russian President. When this administration inevitably crashes, simply saying we’re sorry to the people of Syria won’t be enough. We have a lot of work ahead of us to pay for our responsibilities.
Aleppo Pepper is truly wonderful: a little bit of heat and a whole lot of really enjoyable flavor. Get some, use it in your cooking, share its tastiness, but please make it a reminder that voting for change this November 6 is only the first step. We are Americans; we take responsibility for our actions. We must work both at home and across the globe to make this right. It’s who we are. It’s what we do.“
