Back when I was visiting Chicago, I had some modestly interesting food experiences. From a Thai restaurant I ordered some tastefully arranged strips of duck:
\n
\nThose ducks are as tender and delicious as they are cute.<\/p>\n

The restaurant was apparently famous for their charred beef salad, which is like a normal salad, but with beef and spices.
\n
\nWe ate the meat by wrapping it in the lettuce like a taco.<\/p>\n

Nearby where I was staying was a Lebanese grocery and bakery. I asked the lady behind the counter for one of every kind of baclava they had in stock.
\n
\nNotice that there are no duplicates. I would not be so crass as to pick one that was better than the others however. They were all flaky and sticky with a variety of stuffings of nuts and sugars.<\/p>\n

From the same grocery, Vimto:
\n
\nProving that other cultures and countries do indeed have a pretty good handle on the concept of "Orange Crush."<\/p>\n

Back in Austin I was exploring the freezer section of the Fiesta, and I noticed that not only did they stock the cuisine of the non-English speaking world, they also had the weird foods from Britain. Here’s what was labelled "Irish Breakfast Bacon:"
\n
\n
\nThey tasted like a cross between bacon, a pork chop, and a salt lick.<\/p>\n

I also bought at the Fiesta a bag of Carnavalitos. This is probably the only time in the Spanish language when a food beginning with the letters "carn" does not contain meat.
\n
\nThe Miller High Life is in the photo expressly to demonstrate scale.<\/p>\n

Speaking of bacon, from the candy store on South Congress I bought this tin of bacon-flavored gum.
\n
\n
\nYup. Tastes like bacon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
