The USA - with its supersized portions and endless choice of foods - was always going to fall squarely in the latter category; I've visibly expanded in the last 10 days.
These are my favourite snacks so far:
5. Burrito mojado - a gigantic 'wet' burrito, slathered in enchilada sauce, guacamole, salsa and sour cream. It nearly finished me off, but in the end I triumphed. Shortly afterwards I passed out, but that was completely unrelated and almost certainly down to the jetlag and not me being whoopassed by Mexican foodstuff...
4. Fresh tuna steak sandwich from the Ferry Building, San Francisco. Soooooo fresh, and cooked to perfection while we waited, tossed n soy sauce and ginger. Lush.
3. Vietnamese sandwich - Tasha's cousin Addy recommended a classic Vietnamese takeaway lunch, which consisted of fishcakes, salad and tasty dressing all served in a fresh bit of baguette. We ate it at Baker Beach with a stunning view of the Golden Gate bridge and the wild Pacific Ocean. Best lunch ever.
2. . Bubble tea. Neither of us had ever tried this before, and now I wonder what we were doing with our lives for all those wasted years. Basically a blended drink that doesn't have to contain tea and which can be hot or iced, but which in my opinion HAS to contain tapioca pearls, which sit at the bottom like sweet little pieces of treasure waiting for you to suck them satisfyingly up your straw in every gulpful of drink. This might well become my favourite drink of all time. I love boba!
1. Sushi. Hands down, the sushi here has been the freshest, tastiest, and cheapest that I've ever had. It's probably my favourite food in the world, and we've pretty much eaten it at least once a day.
The best of the best came from Nagayiro in Berkeley; so good we had it for lunch and dinner! It'll be interesting to see how it compares to the stuff we'll be having in Japan.
