So I get the reference to Brazil nuts, but am drawing a blank on the other ingredients. Are there other foods that actually had horribly racist nicknames?

Jews, Italians, and Latinos were all represented with words I won’t repeat.

Like what foods were they referring to, or are they just being vague for the sake of humor, with Brazil nuts being the only one that actually existed with that type of nickname?

I'm realizing I don't even know the slurs associated with those races, never mind food referring to those slurs.

...I should really go thank my grandparents.

My grandma used to make Hot Dago sandwiches, basically a wet roast beef. I don't know what the Spanish had to do with it.
