I haven't posted about food in a while, so let's play a game. I'll post a picture and you decide whether it's edible (or at least whether or not you would eat it.)

| Congealed soupy thing. |
Up first is a Chinese-style gelatinous mixture of vegetables and shrimp. Any takers?
 |
| Lentils, rice, falafel, salad, pita bread. |
Nothing too scary here, assuming you like falafels. Oh, tahini sauce is the dressing. Probably more hands up now.

| A black strawberry. |
I should have taken a picture of a normal colored one for comparison purposes, but I trust everyone knows what a normal strawberry looks like. As you can see, this one looks dark red at the bottom and black in the center. In turns out, the entire carton was black-ish strawberries. I ate them and yes, they tasted weird. It wasn't mold though. Maybe some sort of burn?

| Deep-fried imitation crab sticks with sauce. |
I don't think I really need to describe this. You can deep fry anything and it'll probably taste OK. That said, I wouldn't recommend this item. It may look colorful, but it's actually kind of gross.
This concludes the New York food lesson for this week. In case you are wondering, I do eat quite a bit of American food as well. Columbia is especially fond of giving out free pizza and sandwiches. After eating that for lunch all week long, I like to branch out for dinner.
The first dish looks like phlegm!!! You didn't really eat that did you???
ReplyDeleteI'm a starving student. I tend not to waste food. Once you get used to the texture, it's not so bad. I've eaten much worse. After eating cow and pig stomach in Asia, everything tastes pretty good in comparison.
