Loving snails with garlic and more of Dinan

If there's one French food item that I think should be easy for most Asians to really love, it's escargot. The reason is that escargot is kind of a texture dish, which you normally don't see in French cooking. Snails don't taste like much, I don't think, but they are transformed into something awesome when you add butter, garlic, and parsley in the correct proportions. Just like how a Chinese guy might order some tripe at dim sum, it's kind of the same thing. The item simply is a sauce delivery vehicle. And what seals the deal is that there's no cheese in most escargot preparations. Then when there's sauce leftover, you just schmear that sauce all over some good French bread, which is super easy to find in France because average bread here is good.

Another great thing about the Atlantic Antic is that it's probably one of the last street fairs of the year until the next summer. Even though Italian sausage stands wouldn't dominate the Atlantic Antic, something else took its place. The Antic was full of Caribbean or West Indian stands. It was impossible to turn your head without seeing signs...

Ripoffs and the playoffs and television

I wanna talk about this Chinese take-out food I had two months ago. It was from a sichuan restaurant and the food was actually decent, since it was in Chelsea, not exactly where one thinks about good Chinese food, much less Sichuan food. They had a lunch special and it came out to $7.57. The dude when giving back my change, stared at the computerized POS once as get grabbed a quarter, once as he grabbed a dime, and once as he grabbed a nickle, and then just gave me $2.40. My problem with this is this...
