If you know us then you’ll know that we like food. There’s no way around it. That’s why my recent visit to the US was great timing, because they have a lot of it!
I thought would showcase my trip through the eyes of my stomach.
As well as pushing the boundaries of how much can be eating in a single meal, I made a great discovery: sweet potato fries! We have sweet potatoes in England…so why I have never eaten these before is a mystery.
The pork sandwich was amazing too.
What I can never get over though is the portion sizes. I usually aim to finish what’s on my plate but sometimes you just have to admit defeat.
Don’t get me wrong, it was good…but I could have covered three breakfast meals with this.
A few of my friends where surprised when their salads came! We weren’t ready.
I also managed to get into a barbeque in California.
The burger was good but, then it hit me…why have one burger in a bun when you can have two? So I present the double cheese burger brought to you by mayamada.
I also saw something that will be familar to people in the UK, though they go by a different name. Notice the resemblence guys?
If you’re not feeling hungry by now, don’t worry – I’ve saved he best for last. Thai food at a place called Guppy’s Teahouse, where I got the chance to show off my chopsticks skills…before giving up and going with the fork.
Pineapple fried rice – delicious dish, but what was I saying about portion sizes?
Anyway, I at least made a dent before surrendering.
I took the rest with me to feed a small villiage on the way back.
One thing’s for sure though…from now on I’m having all my meals served in a pineapple!
