TRIBUTE IN CHOCOLATE, VANILLA AND COFFEE
“Rose, try my new flavor. It’ll be a sensation!” Reuben Mattus scooped a white dollop into a bowl. “How fortuitous that my injection pump should malfunction.”
“Nu?” His wife looked up from her ledger. “It’s vanilla ice cream. You’ve been making it for over forty years.”
“Not like this.”

“What do you think of Häagen-Dazs for a name?”
“What’s it mean?”
He shrugged. “Nothing. But it sounds Danish.”
“Why Danish?”
“To thank Denmark for its kind protection of our people from that mamzer who called himself the Führer.”
