Eating Tuna Fish and Thinking About Seinfeld

It's absolutely amazing how many Seinfeld episodes deal with food. The writers are obsessed with references to fruit, candy, baked goods, and of course, cereal. Anyway, I was having some delicious tuna salad at the posh Bedford Springs resort yesterday and I thought I detected a hint of dill, or maybe it was tarragon.

Episode 42 - The Trip (2)

Jerry and Kramer are having a very serious conversation and George can only think about his sandwich:

Kramer: You know, things are going pretty well for me here. I met a girl...
Jerry: Kramer, she was murdered!
Kramer: Yeah, well I wasn't looking for a long term relationship. I was on TV.
George: As a suspect in a serial killing.
Kramer: Ok, yeah, you guys got to put a negative spin on everything.
George: What did they put in this tuna? Tastes like dill, I think it's dill.
Jerry: So you're not gonna come back to New York with us?
Kramer: No no. I'm not ready, things are starting to happen.
George: Taste this, is this dill?
Jerry: No, it's tarragon. Hey Kramer, I'm sorry about that whole fight we had about you having my apartment keys and everything.
Kramer: OK, it's forgotten.
George: Tarragon? Oh, you're crazy.
Jerry: Well, take it easy.
Kramer: Yeah, OK.
George: Yeah, take care. Stay in touch.
Kramer: Hey hey, whoa come on give me a hug...
Jerry: Oh, no...
George: No, you're crushing my sandwich.
