I’d kill for a cheesesteak. I skipped dinner out of spite. Bad idea.

Arni, if you don’t want a 12 pack then check the candy bar aisle or near the till in the chain corner stores (like 7 Eleven) next time you’re in the States. They often have 2-packs of those kinds of treats.

On another note, on my recent trip down I dropped off a care package of Canadian candy bars to a shop that I previously got them hooked on. And since my next appt down south is just before Halloween I will be bringing them some as well.

Plymouth Gin was a gift from a friend from Canada. Ever hear of it? It’s really good.

I haven’t. But I can’t even remember the last time I drank gin. I did take down a bottle of maple whiskey liqueur for my artist last week. Wanted to give him something Canadian. Although I don’t care for either whiskey or maple, my brother says that liqueur always disappears very quickly at his place.

Here too! I think it’s some weird evaporation thing. Except the maple and honey whiskey. They’ll last forever. I can’t stand them.

I will say if you’re not American or used to processed sweets in general, there’s a funny “processed” taste you may not like. Just warning you. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s a little like plastic.

Well I guess that’s understandable, considering these things are almost entirely synthetic. It’s just all sorts of E-numbers and -ose’s and -ate’s and other laboratory experiment ingredients. I’ve never had the balls to actually try a Twinkie, for instance. I’ve seen it in movies my entire life and I’ve wondered how it tastes, but it just looks… nasty.

One thing I’ve always wanted to try, is a “Bucket-o-chicken” from KFC. (Again, just something from the movies).
Just the concept of holding a huge bucket, dipping into it to grab a bite and eating right from the bucket is an experience I’ve always wanted to try. KFC is quite expensive here in Iceland, however, so I’ve never gone ahead with it here 😀

Curiously, in said movies the protagonist eating from the bucket is always black. (Excuse me.. African-American). Absolutely no stereotypification going on there 😀

You don’t eat it from the bucket. You take a piece from the bucket, eat it in a group setting like a family, take your piece out, your sides, on your plate, and you eat. 😛

And black people don’t eat KFC. They eat Popeye’s, the good stuff. That’s what I prefer, too. 😉

Also, not all black people are African American, so it is better to say black. I dated a Jamaican, and he said, “I’m not African American. I’m Jamaican American.” I also have Hispanic friends who are black who do not identify as AA. 😉
