Food Post

for those of you keeping up with my adventures in fast food, i visited a wendys. it has a kind of old school wimpy vibe to it and the burgers are square (!!) so you get more meat for your money. the burgers are huge in fact. you know you go to macdonalds you order a burger that looks huge in the photo and then in real life its tiny ie big mac, its not that big. well my wendys burger was actually huge. it was a double 1/4lb with cheese if you want to know. the fries are a bit fatter too which i like. i was also pressganged by my american companions into getting a 'frosty' which is apparently wendys signature order. i thought it was a milkshake but it actually turned out to be a cup of ice cream. it was ok.

i have eaten in a diner finally. oddly they seemed few and faw between in cali but now im a bit further east they are 10 a penny. naturally given my love of greasy spoons i love diners. the food is actually good too. i had 2 egg 2 toast and hash browns. the hash browns were amazing, they were re-fried julienne potato strips. the things that pass as hash browns in england are just the macdonalds intereptation. i also ate more mexican food the other day, enchalidas. basically all mexican food is the same, every dish is made up of beans, salad, rice, tortiallas and some sort of spicy filling but they have different names depending on how it is arranged on a plate. still tasty though. i also had a mystery food which i think i have now identified as navajo fry bread. its a sort of hollow pastry that in new mexico you eat with honey. its really good.
