Food Frakker: Treats at Home

A recent trip to La Michoacana grocery and meat market yielded some interesting treats such as this flan, that includes colorful cubes of jello:

The FUD brand grilling sausage was only barely edible.


It had the highly organny taste of a sausage with very high organ content. Go fig.

The Mexican version of swiss cake rolls shows a delicious swirl of caramel mixed with the creme.

Unfortunately the caramel is invisible, and it gives the rolls a nasty sour taste.

Every now and then, I try and find the processed fish sticks that taste exactly like the ones I ate in the elementary school cafeteria. These Gorton fish patties didn’t quite manage it, but they did make the claim that they taste just like a grilled cheese sandwich, which is a weird claim for a fish product to make.


And you know, they kinda did.

While passing the Phoenicia Mediterranean bakery on Burnet, I stopped by and found some nifty and affordable foodstuffs. The cheese bread was stone baked, tasty, and a mere $1.75.

I wish I knew what touristic pork ham means. It’s Polish and seems like a spreadable SPAM.

There was also a thinly-sliced cured ham dish that was as pungent as it was sensually raw.

While the roommmate was out of town I ate a lot more bacon than I do normally. I guess I just feel a bit uncomfortable about consuming a pound of bacon in front of witnesses. Here is a photo of my greatest culinary invention since popcorn tacos. I call it the BLTaco:

Yeah, the BLTaco rocks.
