So far this blog has been dedicated to my foreign culinary experiences and delicious meals along the way. However this journey is as much about the food I am not eating as the new things I am trying.
I miss American food.
There. I said it. I miss big breakfasts with pancakes and sausage and hashbrowns. I miss buying skim milk by the gallon. I miss Taco Bell. I miss cheddar cheese. God, do I miss cheddar cheese! I want a big bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats. I want to buy taco seasoning for less than $5. I want to order pizza at 2am. I cannot wait to eat Jif with a spoon. An entire package of graham crackers will be consumed in record time. A Chipotle burrito will be dominated. Johnsonville brats will be eaten with an animalistic voracity. I missed Shamrock Shakes this year :(
Trust me, I still have my perspective. I would rather be here and not eating these things. That being said, the week of June 13-20 will be a gluttonous time of catch-up. My mouth is watering with anticipation.
For now... I will settle with carbonara, gelato, risotto, and tiramisu :P
I titter with laughter at this post. We stateside I guess don't realize you can't get all that "junk" in Italy. I actually do not feel sorry for you. You and Chlo have the market cornered on "Honey Bunches of Oats". I will go home tonight and eat mass quantities of extra sharp cheddar cheese in you honor.
