Joe Joe NoNo

Growing up i could never understand why my dad doesn't like sloppy Joes. As far as i was concerned he was crazy. Sloppy Joes are one of the greatest foods ever!!!!!! they're fast and easy to make, delicously messy, and i can eat three in one sitting. Yet he refused to eat them. He would always talk about how coming from New York he didn't know what they were and when he did try them they were too sweet. Today I discovered something, all sloppy joes are not created equal. Especially when they come from a cafeteria. Today my joe was not rich, red, and hearty but rather a light brown runny substance on a hardening bun. It didn't have a slightly sweet flavor; instead it was like there was a spoonful of sugar in my meat.The taste is still lingering in my mouth. This is apparently what my father was given as a young boy from a foreign state. Poor dear.
