| Food Inferiority And My Growing Snobbery |
You know what I hate, other than when I screw up my Startmenu toolbar so it is displayed vertically rather than horizontally and I can't remember how to fix it. I don't like being disappointed, especially by food. Sometimes you eat something that you think will be amazing, but after eating you think "That really wasn't worth it." The amount of calories you consume just isn't worth it. So many foods are just so-so. I'm sure my tastes are changing. I'm becoming a little bit snobbish in what I pick nowadays. I'm prone to claiming many foods inferior due to their quality of ingredients. Anything chocolate flavoured should be primarily made of chocolate, for example. Twenty other ingredients should not come before it on the label. Much of the food I ingested today was a disappointment, but I guess I brought that upon myself, denying my pancake eating instincts for mock-Chinese food. I went with my father to see how much I could cram into a large polystyrene container. Reason would suggest that you should just pick either a)noodles or b)rice with maybe one or two other dishes. Unfortunately, when faced with a myriad of different foods in a smorgasbord array gluttony takes over and you just have to stuff as much as you can into your box. The results are yes, edible and sure, quite tasty but the flavours all mix together and your left with rather a confused mish-mash of pseudo-Asian food. I think the addition of the lemon chicken was rather a foolish one because it infected everything on the left side with a lemon taste that I didn't enjoy too much. Alas, I was curious to see what lemon chicken tasted like. If you're wondering. Chicken in a lemon sauce. Yeah, so exciting. Next to the lemon chicken I also shoved rice, noodles, a springroll, sweet n sour pork, BBQ pork, 5 spices chicken, a deep fried squid, some kind of beef, egg foo yeung (sp?) and maybe other random things. That's one of the problems with buffets. The individual tastes of a dish gets lost among the others. You force so much upon your taste buds at once that you're brain just can't compute them all. I wasn't exactly expecting gourmet cuisine from a foodcourt, but I think I'm over takeaway Asian. It's just not worth it. I've decided I'm going to make a list of things worth eating and things not worth eating. That way, I can avoid eating underwhelming foodstuffs from this point onwards (save new things I try). Life is too short and my waist line is too fragile to waste my time on inferior foods.
The moral of the story is... when in doubt, always make pancakes for dinner. You will never be let down by the awesomeness that is a pancake.Labels: Chinese, fast food |
