Fooooooooood

I have an expensive taste in food with dishes such as filet minion and cedar plank salmon as well as fine dining at restaurants with the reputation of Roy’s and Eddie Merlots. Although I have eaten nice food at expensive restaurants I have had my fair share of unpleasant food situations. One of the worst experiences I have had with food was during part of my fraternity pledge ship. I along with five other of my pledge brothers had to indulge ourselves in the great American commodity that they give the military service men known as MRE’s. The beginning of the meal was not the most terrible but it seemed as though the meal had not completely became hydrated so it was dry and tasteless. Another experience that I have had with food came from an old family tradition with my grandfather. His father had been around during the depression and had learned to make an inexpensive dish that consisted of very little but was according my grandfather very filling. The dish included only two ingredients, milk and saltine crackers, that when once the crackers had been crushed and mixed with milk in a bowl it made for a paste like treat that had the texture of moist cardboard. The worst dish I have had by far was when I was forced to indulge myself in a White Castle Crave Case and over 4 liters of water. It basically an eating contest where I had to eat 30 of those little white castle burgers 15 had cheese and the other 15 were plain but five held a surprise such as Tabasco sauce or wasabi or some other sort of hot commodity. Then I had two 2-liters of water to down the sandwiches one of which was hot warm while the other was cold. Needless to stay half of the burgers ended up in the trash can in one form or another.
