It's a beautiful day today, and I had off, so I decided to take a stroll to Mariahilfer Straße, the main shopping street, for some purchases. At the far end is one of our few KFCs. I hadn't been in a long time, so with a swing in my step and a tune on my lips I thought, "Why not?"

Their soda fountain seems to be broken. At any rate, they were pouring coke from bottles instead. Ok, can happen.

I had a chicken cheese sandwich menu and some hot wings. The fries were practically unsalted. Worse, though: the sandwich was dripping with mayonnaise - almost like they had dunked all the ingredients in it. The worst: the chicken was lukewarm at best, and the rest of the ingredients had a temperature as if they had come straight from the refrigerator.

I rarely complain in a fast food joint, but I returned that frozen thing and had it replaced by a warm one. I did get some extra chicken strips for free, though. And the hot wings were ok.

Sashimi.  :licklips:
And one maki roll.

Except for bukkake, raw fish dishes are the only good thing to come from Japan. Oh, and cars.

Also, Scotch... strangely enough.

What?

Japan has created some pretty good scotch in recent decades.

They seemed to have been going for the weirdest sandwich they could find in each state as opposed to the one that actually typifies the state.

In some cases, yes; but the Cuban is certainly Florida's sandwich.
Same for Rhode Island and the Italian Grinder

When it doubt make an insightful comment in response to an old post.

A couple Christmases ago one of our vendors sent us a selection of non-alcoholic bourbon balls and other "treats" flavored with whatever bourbon substitute was used.  I was not upset when we decided not to renew our contract with them a few months later.

I had a burrito from Hardee's.  :wacko: It was alright.

In honor of Cinco de Mayo I made Mole Negra from Oaxaca last night.  Down with the Hapsburg liberal-Monarchical tyranny and their French lackeys!  :mad: 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I'm waiting for Veinticinco de Mayo to celebrate.

Hey!  Those Mexican landowners told them the people wanted liberal-Monarchical tyranny and would embrace French lackeys.  Dancing in the streets would surely be the result.  Fortunately the French arrived in Mexico City shortly afterwards: Mission Accomplished.
