first mention of pigs in a blanket in the New Yorker?

So the New Yorker has turned its snooty nose in the direction of SNACKING and offers this searing insight into psycho-snack-nalysis:

"Generally speaking, a snack is a combination of crunchy with chewy, and it is named something appealing to the palette."

While I stand by letting people give their snacks names, I have to admit that the list of proposed summer snacks, including 'Breaded Chicken Skewers with Thai Dipping Sauce—“Pigeons Crapping on a Park Bench”' is pretty funny. Check it out here.

n.b. This picture is technically of a snack referred to in the biz as "Fire Ants on a Log" due to the use of Craisins, as opposed to raisins, which is helpful if you are trying to only eat foods that have brand names. This is also a great way to eat lots of Craisins, if, for example, someone you went to college with dares you to eat Craisins in every meal for a week.
