I wonder how they would be with some white sausage gravy? Since they remind me of chicken fried steaks.

Not if it was in that Taco Bell in the West Village.

It really depends on what I feel like eating at the time. But on the whole, I think L.A. is really strong and sometimes overlooked. Sandwiches, burgers, donuts, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese food there are all so good. Too bad about all the driving. But if I had to choose just one place, I'd say Seoul. A city I really want to visit for food alone is Paris, for a ham and cheese sandwich and a hot chocolate, among everything else.

I wanted a snack recently and all I had was raw almonds and some maple syrup. So I poured some maple syrup on the almonds and it was pretty good. Later I took the rest and fried it all up with some butter. Very good.

Spam, ketchup on mac and cheese, and sardines packed in tomato sauce on white rice are things I like that seem to get a rise out of people. And durian scrapple. Ok, I just made that last one up.

I think adults who make a "ewww" face or more when someone mentions a food they personally don't like, is my biggest food related irk. Keep it to yourself! So childish and judgemental (often involving economic class and culture), and I think less of the person when it happens.

I remember the best tasting major brands just a few years ago had pork lard AND beef lard in the ingredients. And yes, MSG, like almost everything good does. But now I can't find any Japanese or Korean brand curry with lard in it. I wonder why? It really does miss a certain richness without it, and doesn't taste like the curry I grew up with.
