The other people on the ship used to complain that I kept it for too long. I suspect some of them were only looking at the pictures.] Fortunately, there is a glossary at the end of <\/span>“Save the Deli”<\/i>, translating these words, and describing in enticing detail what the foods they refer to are like.

\nH<\/span>ere is a gratuitous picture of a slice of the bread with a sardine on it. I’m the only one in my family who actually likes sardines. And besides, I have run out of pastrami, which I suppose was bound to happen, given the arrival of a suitable rye bread…<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
