Right I've had my brief soujourn in the USA and have finally arrived in Auckland but I'm heavily jetlagged and in no fit state to give my impressions of the city(which aren't very good anyway) so I'm here to talk about Americans and thier food. No I'm not goin to give out about them eating too much(by the way I didn't see any of the stereotypical fat americans while I was, they must keep them in during daylight hours or something. During the day they hide out in the same place as the homeless of San Francisco. Some form limbo... Shite off topic.... too much in the brackets... *SIGH*) Food then and more specifically breakfast. The two times I head breakfast in the states were both stand out occassions. Firstly I'd like to say their breakfast habits are odd, very odd. Back home what is your choice for breakfast? Fry or cereal and toast basically. Over there. EVERYTHING, whatever you want. Case in point, first breakfast I had. A ranchero omlette, no not an omlette full of ranchero crisps. Although... An omlette filled with strips of steak with spicey ranchero sauce. In fairness it was nice and I did know what I getting myself into but not your typical breakfast meal.
Case number two now is a different story entirely. Country fired steak with sausage gravy. When you read that what do you picture? Well I thought the sausage gravy had been a misprint and it meant "sausage, gravy".
Well I'll tell you what you certainly don't picture. A GIANT CHICKEN NUGGET. The "steak" arrived and it was giant chicken nugget bout the size of my hand, even breaded like one. The sausage gravy was in actual fact sausage gravy, a substance that mimics the texture of paint and tastes vaguely like peppercorn sauce. I was terribly hungry so I ate and felt all the worse for it the whole day after. I could go into my wandering into the mexican neighbourhood in LA and the trying of the burrito with so many unkown ingredients all very fancy mexican sounding things though. But I'm tired so I'll leave now, I reckon I've one more rant about the states before I move on to NZ. Talk soon.
