i experienced a little piece of americana last night: the golden corral.
curtis and i have long avoided it's cattle shute approach to food, but thanks to the girl scouts year end "banquet", there was nothing to be done. so i paid my $9.99 and entered... with trepidation. and it turned out that i was justified in my fears.
as i paced up and down the astonishingly long counters, people passed with plates piled high. i, on the other hand, could not bring myself to put anything onto mine. i finally settled on a bit of pot roast, some bourbon chicken and fried rice. the roast was tender, true, but whatever it was slathered in was inedible. the rice was spiced with something akin to plastic, and the chicken, well, i actually ate that. i left the rest on my plate, appalled at both my wastefulness, and the food itself.
thank goodness for the salad bar...

I completely concur! I've been once, and I remember everything tasting like a salt lick!
and you people call yourselves omnivores. mmm...food..
wow that's pretty cool.
That sounds disgusting.
Your initiation is complete, by trial of stomach trauma you are now accepted in this land called America. Land of the free to waste and home of the overweight. (We also ignore the classification of continents here, there is no North or South, only THE America)
