What food are you craving right now?

Gonna need to go to KFC when I get a car, then... There's one near me!  This is one of the when-I-get-a-car things that I can actually do easily!  Chicken strips and gravy!  Fill-in-the-blank and gravy!  GRAVY!

I might be the only person that can't eat my fried chicken with gravy...I need to have the mash and biscuits for the gravy! It just feels wrong without them!

I used to dip my fries in mash.  Potatoes on potatoes. I was living in the future!  Popeye's had the best potatoes-on-potatoes.

haha this is  brilliant.

If you're ever near a Popeye's, you should try it.  It's kind of amazing. 

Oh, but is it the right KIND of gravy?   

Potatoes on potatoes.

Two tubers, one dip.

I'm really a waffle cone, filled with cookies 'n' cream ice cream and covered with chocolate jimmies (sprinkles) right now.

I'm missing some Ben and Jerry's US-specific flavours something fierce. They now do "Birthday Cake" over here...It's F**KING STRAWBERRY CRAP-CAKE! IT'S NOT EVEN PROPER BIRTHDAY CAKE!! FOR 4 QUID! Not my money, good sirs! Give me ACTUAL birthday cake (you can no idea how actually irate I was when I went from sheer happiness reading "birthday cake" to seeing the picture and reading the ingredients).

Ben and Jerry's Cherry Garcia.

Sigh.

Oh, if you're in Glasgow, we just ate at Pizza Punks, downtown on St. Vincent Street. Absolutely amazing! Reeeeeeally good pizza.

Qdoba.  I found a burrito place near me, and was heartbroken by the fact that they put ROOT VEGETABLES IN IT.  CARROTS... IN A BURRITO.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  That's just WRONG.

That's like our canteen's version of 'Mexican' and 'Indian' food. There are carrots and celery* in both.....  I know there are times when it's appropriate to have carrots and celery, but not in what they're making. It's off flavour and wrong.   

*I'm pretty sure they just get bags of pre-chopped carrots, celery and onions and add to everything......   

UGH. Carrots should absolutely NEVER be in a burrito under any circumstances.

Gotta get that five a day in somehow!   

I was just messaging my sister about Mexican food here, and how it's an emerging thing and much of it gets lost in translation.  But I have not encountered carrots in a burrito yet.  Thank goodness.  I would cry tears of sadness. 

Rubbing it in again:  I made pork carnitas in the slow cooker on Friday, and when my husband came home, we put it into chimichangas, and it was AMAZING!  Somehow, I forgot to take a picture of my food.  My first chimichangas in years, and my first homemade ones ever, and I didn't take a picture.  *gasp*  But, man... pork shoulder is back on the shopping list.  It is so happening again.
