Where are you located, and what sorts of food are you most
interested in
Ottawa, and I'm a meat & potatoes kind of guy. Although with the price
of beef
lately it's more like pork, chicken & rice.
There's nothing wrong with being a
plain-food meat-and-potatoes kind of
person. This is generally not a gourmet
foods kind of discussion group.
With the prices the way they are, I too
am more a pork and rice type. One of the
great things about Lilli is that she gives
me a good excuse for splurging on beef
exceedingly frequently. In fact, my last
10 main meals have been steak, steak,
steak, steak, steak, steak, steak, steak,
steak, and steak.
Here in the states, McDonald's coffee has
had its ups and downs. For a while, Green
Mountain Roasters was its main supplier;
now, who knows (I havent had McDonald's
coffee in close to fifty years.
The last time I had coffee from McDonald's south of the border it tasted quite different, as well as darker roasted more flat than they serve up
here.
That was just last year and I didn't really care for it so you may not be missing much.
US tastes have in the last decade or two
been affected by the Starbuck's
phenomenon, which I can't understand.
To me, Starbuck's smells like putrefaction.
