Side note #1: My grandparents were born in Hungary. Yeah, my brothers and I used the phrase “hunky hand grenade” now and again. But never in front of our grandparents. We knew the limits.
Side note #2: I take gentle exception to the ingredient list. It’s not truly a Hunky hand grenade unless a pinch of paprika is added.
