the frig?

The frig? It’s kinda pretty, but…what is it?

09.10.08 | 26 Comments

A Frig? need not be vomit-worthy to be confusing. Take this jar of something or other. It’s pink, it’s somewhat attractive, but what the hell is it? Why are these items sealed together in a jar? I read the accompanying text and I’m still not sure.

Totally unrelated: This Friday is the TNS Northern New Jersey Hot Dog Tour. If you’re from the area and have a favorite Texas Wiener, let me know in the comments. Ditto if you’re interested in joining the Tour; there will be hot dogs, chili, onion rings and scoring forms. Questionable meat products AND bureaucracy, it’s like the best of all possible worlds!

Returning to topic: The Frig?

    It looks kind of like red/new potatoes brining in something. Not sure what practical application for that there would be though…Pickled potatoes?

  • On 09.10.08 SK said:

    Is that…fruit? Some sort of sangria?

  • On 09.10.08 Jennifer said:

    Marinated grapes?

  • On 09.10.08 kristin said:

    Pickled stuff? Looks like onions in there, and beets would account for the color. And other unidentifiable things.

  • On 09.10.08 Allison said:

    Pickled…ummm…eeeh…pickled pickle slices??? Huh??

  • On 09.10.08 Kerry said:

    It looks like beet juice, but not sure whats marinating in it? Onion, new potato, and something strangely spotted? Hmm, I’m stumped. Do tell.

  • On 09.10.08 Jamie said:

    it looks like strawberries that have been sitting in liquid to long

  • On 09.10.08 Carrie said:

    It looks like grape halves and prickly pear marinating in prickly pear juice. But I could be wrong. LOVE YOUR BLOG!!! Thanks for making me laugh everyday.

    It looks like a mixture of grapes and dragon fruit.
    As far as the best hotdog in NJ, I LOVED the hotdogs at the old Johnny & Hanges when it was in Paterson. The new one in Fairlawn does not compare in my opinion. Now if my husband and I want a good hot dog, we go to either Falls View, Hot Grill or The Goffle Grill.
