Quinoa -- yeah, I had to Google it too.

Wish they'd bring back mock turtle soup though.
If you've been doing it for generations, in the country, on a farm, you're not a hipster. If you do it on your rooftop and carry on like you're, like yah, the FIRST PERSON EVER TO RAISE BEES and sell the honey for $30 a pint to other people who've never actually seen a wild bee, then yes, you're a hipster.
Harry The Hipster wasn't worried.
Here he is asking the musical question Who Put the Benzedrine in Mrs. Murphy's Ovaltine?, 1945.
Campbell's Scotch Broth was the best thing in the world to eat on a cold winter day after shoveling out the driveway. Good for what ailed ya.
Not being of Andean descent, I'd never heard of quinoa. If not a malaria cure, it sounds like a second baseman for the Cleveland Indians in 1985. Junior Quinoa, good field no hit.
Campbell's doesn't sell their Scotch Broth anymore?
Campbell's stopped selling Scotch Broth in the US in 2010 though it's still sold in Canada where it's made. Though you can get it through Amazon.

Even worse are bags labeled "Gourmet Tortilla Chips." Somehow it's hard for me to picture James Beard curling up on his couch with the game on with a bag of overpriced "artisanal" Doritos.
I have had some tirtilla chips that I would consider artisanal. Handmade street-food tortillas. They did not have a label on the bag. They came in a plain brown paper bag and were dirt cheap. Not anything like any commercial chips.
Gotta love blue corn.
Judging from the expression on the faces on the packages, mescaline seems to be a key ingredient in modern Campbell soup recipes.
