Election Day in Wisconsin (6 of ?): Food!

Food at the campaign office was -

Danish kringle in the morning (a specialty of Racine, Wisconsin, just up the road; there were 2 varieties, raspberry and a cinnamon/nut thing).

Sloppy joes at lunch in a crockpot with a packet of buns thrown next to it, and another crock pot of taco salad meat (ground beef, beans, seasoning), next to Fritos and tortilla chips and cheese and salsa, so people could make their own taco salads.

At the state senator's victory party, it was a big tray of chicken wings (no sauce), 2 big trays of gigantic meatballs (slightly smaller than tennis balls, and in a tomato sauce), a couple veggie trays, a tray of taco dip next to tortilla chips, some sandwiches laid out, and plastic tupperware bins covered in aluminum foil that were full of cookies.

And, to the right, there was a table full of what was at least 12 boxes of Franzia wine.

Because of the lighting, the sour cream on the taco dip looked weird, so I asked some people in the foodline on the other side of the table when we got to it if that was taco dip.

"I think so," some young (white) girl is like.

"Oh," I was like, "I was just wondering, since it looks kind of funny in the light."

"It's Democratic taco dip!", some older (white) woman chimed in.
