Our head of sales left a big basket of food as a gift for the engineering
department the other day.
It was one of those big holiday give baskets that you can get.  I’m
convinced that some of the food in it they can’t get rid of any other way.
The best thing in there was the smoked salmon.  But, I’m not really
comfortable eating fish that has been at room temperature for who knows how
long, even if it is supposed to stay good.
There were other collections of strange crackers and things.  Hot mustard,
onion and pickle pretzels?  Seems like a weird combination to me.
But, the engineering department still tore into it and devoured most of it
in a couple of hours.
Two days later, there is only one thing left unopened on the table in the
lunchroom:


Did I miss some tradition?
Are “hot and spicy beans” just a tradition I have not encountered?

The mustard, onion and pickle pretzels did not taste good to me and turned
my hand a yellow color that did not look good.  But, pretzels are a pretty
standard snack.
Hot beans?
Do folks sit at their desk eating hot beans and I just don’t know it?

Maybe they are magic beans? If they are planted their vine will take you to someplace hot and spicy, like Brazil, for the Holidays.

Oh, I think you'd know it three hours later...

I was going to say something similar, but you beat me to it! Hee!
