"Food food at the end of the rainbow" -- Jaconfetti

Jennette: Midwest in New York; "I have a thermos bottle with cream of tomato soup," she said. "And a lobster salad sandwich on thin slices of white bread. I have celery, carrot sticks, and black olives, and a little cardboard shaker of salt for the celery. And two plums and a tiny basket of cherries. And vanilla pudding with chocolate sprinkles and a spoon to eat it with." "That's a good lunch," said Albert. "I think it's nice that there are all different kinds of lunches and breakfasts and dinners and snacks. I think eating is nice." "So do I," said Frances, and she made the lobster-salad sandwich, the celery, the carrot sticks, and the olives come out even. -- from "Bread and Jam for Frances" by Russell Hoban
