Do you know anyone personally that has ate Apple Brown Betty?
I think there is enough to be outraged and indignant about right now in society without digging out a cookbook from the 1800’s IMHO.
What percentage of people do you suppose have a single thought on the racist possibilities in the name. Brown Betty is about as bland an example of racism as One could possibly concoct. How about loading up the blondes again? Apple Blonde Betty.
@BellaB is there a big market for these products? I’m trying to understand the point. All of it, piercings, tattoos, custom paint jobs on digits, now muff dyeing. Is it about matching curtains to drapes? If so, why wouldn’t you want to use exactly the same product you put on your head to assure a perfect match?
@stanleybmanly , from my understanding of it the point (sometimes) is not to match. That’s why they have fun colours on offer. The Betty dyes are also supposed to be a gentler product than regular hair dyes – which is why you would use a specialty product.
Can’t speak to why people get piercings or custom paint on digits, but my tattoos are for me, not for anyone else to appreciate.
@chyna the way I understand it that “did the carpet match the drapes?” is a common question among men in locker room level discussions of alleged “conquests”.
To get totally off topic here, there was just an article in the NY Times over the weekend that reported that more than half of women completely or partially shave their pubic hair. (see link – link )
typo fixed
That would suggest that Blonde Betty and her colorful sisters are some of the last survivors in a dying market.
