White Trash Charm

Buck ’N’ Jims Spices

No matter how eloquent you are (oh, and we are), sometimes it’s best to let folks speak for themselves. On that note, a letter we received:

Hello DC,

Let me introduce you to a touch of the Midwest. From the Land of 10,000 Lakes, Prince, rollerblades, and Spam, here are the masters of disaster, the swingin’ soldiers, the pontificates of pinochle. Tah dah … Buck ’N’ Jims! White trash and robust flavors together at last. All the spices are chichi gourmet, hand-blended by a local family company.

We have sold three. Kind of frustrating, considering that the products are really top-notch.

I would freak out if you liked Buck ’N’ Jims enough to mention it on DailyCandy. Freak. I’d buy a sombrero for my mother. I’d kiss the mailman. I’d eat a box of walnuts really fast. Uncracked.

I just figure if you like it, everyone will.

Well, we loved.

And we wanted to see Elizabeth’s mom in a sombrero.
