Some Comments About Food

earlier i ate a 'super burrito'. it was pretty tasty but it was also about the same width has my upper arm although this was not really a problem as it was going to be my only meal for 16hrs. i had some spicy beef in it which tasted strangely like my dad's casserole, but in a good way. i was lounging and digesting this in golden gate park which is beautiful. it has good trees in it like english country estates do. i was at the haight-ashbury end of the park though so lounging around with me were lots of crusty casulties trying to sell cannabis to 13 year old kids and looking like they had been there since 1968.

back to the food. for breakfast i've been having two bagels with cream cheese, two glasses of orange juice and about 6 cups of coffee. this is my main meal of the day as for dinner i've been eating super noodles that i bought in the chinese supermarket. something i have discovered though is that americans will queue if its for good food. i was at a japanese festival yesterday (there was a japanese funk band playing - not as good as it sounds) and there was this enormous queue down the road for tyriaki burgers. english people wouldnt do this i don't think. they would settle for the non-meat based product that no one else wanted. similarly the farmers market in 'frisco is packed with a certain type and yummy middle class family that goes crazy for lavender salt and is willing to pay $20 a pound for smoked salmon.

  1. I'm currently eating two cream cheese bagels! My bagels are from the 'New York Bakery Co' and my cream cheese is 'Sainsbury's Basics'. I bet yours are actually nice..

  2. to be honest, i've started to think of food as purely fuel for walking rather than something to devrive pleasure from.
