Biscuits and Gravy

I am brought to the topic of food.  Why? Reason #1: Because I would not be alive without food. Reason #2: Because my stomach just started growling. Reason #3: Because food at JHBC is so much more interesting than at home!
I have not had the same thing twice in the last 11 days.  This is something new for me.  It’s exactly opposite of the week that we spent at a hotel in Anaheim.  That time we had the same exact thing for breakfast every single day: cereal, toast, and Danishes.  Not bad, but not super great.
JHBC has very good food.  I have enjoyed every single bite! (Except for that time when the Wishbone Zesty Italian salad dressing wasn’t shaken up, so my salad was covered in the nasty oil that sits on top.  I mean, it’s amazing when it’s mixed up and so on, but when that’s it?!?! I don’t THINK so. No, I know so. The fact that the oil got on my fruit too didn’t make it any better.)  I have had Tomato Bisque soup for the first time ever in my entire life.  It was better than I expected.  I had biscuits and gravy for breakfast for the first time too.  It was really good!
This brings me to the subject of interesting (and non-interesting) foods.  I can’t say that I’ve had many interesting foods.  I will list some.  Interesting: Pickled pig’s feet.  Probably the strangest, most yicky thing I have ever tasted.  Normal: PB&J on white bread.  Interesting: An oyster. (I did not know I was going to have to detach the muscle.)  Normal: Steamed broccoli. (I enjoy steamed broccoli a lot though, so it works.) Interesting: Moose. (I’ve only had it once and it’s not interesting to many people, but for me… Interesting.) Normal: Potatoes. (I’ve eaten them so many times in many different ways, and I like them, but sometimes they are boring. I HAVE eaten them without anything but salt on them when they’re cold.)
Well, as I said food is important.  It’s not the most important thing to maintain life though.  Water wins. ;-)
I hope that anyone who reads this remembers the most interesting thing you have ever eaten… and smiles. (Unless of course it was a bad experience.)  Care to share?
