American "health" food, again

    Where did you visit in the states that the food was so awful everywhere you ate?

Oh, you sound offended. I'm sorry. I guess I was a little home-sick. Maybe I'm a little to blame as well. I can't stand grease in food. I can't eat anything deep fried (including chips), for instance. You have to admit that oil and fat are main ingredients in many American dishes.

I don't see what's wrong with lettuce, cottage cheese and a piece of crunchy toast with *no* butter. Put a little bit of salt on that, and you've got a lovely breakfast. And Scott - A bowl of grits cooked in milk and slightly sweetened is always nice.

Now you're all thinking - "Oh, that's why she said all those things. She eats rabbit food." - Well, no. Just like tea, the lettuce, cottage and toast can be really bad or amazingly good. Depending on the ingredients and the hand that's handling them (don't laugh!).

Anyway, there are many healthy dishes that I'm sure you'll love, like:

- Seasoned grilled chicken

- baked vegetable with olive oil, garlic and paprika

- freshly cut salad (cucumber, tomato, onion, mint leaves)

- a variety of leaves and vegetables filled with rice and meat

- tuna steak (preferable made on open fire)

- Soft cheese-based vegetable pie

- full rice with tomato-spinach sauce (doesn't sound like much, but it's good)

- Turkey wings in honey and garlic (my favourite)

- Pita with Hummus, pastrami and pickles :)


I can go on and on.
