Questionable Food Items

 

OK, the only thing recognizable here is the corn in the upper left corner. The triangle in the middle might be tofu. Its all soaking in the same stinky broth. David wouldn't dare smell it. I did, but regretted it immediately. As for tasting, no way !!!!!! By the way, this was next to the check out register in a 7-11 store. 7/8/2012

The sign said "chicken" and the picture was of a chicken, but we would swear these were ducks. 7/8/2012

Cuttlefish garlic bread........... Now there ARE limits to what breads even I will eat. You can put garlic on just about anything and make it taste better, but Cuttlefish ????? Oh no.......never...... 7/7/2012

Got Crabs???? This bag of spicy, crunchy, crispy crabs was in the chip aisle. They are little, like the size of a half dollar. Not if I was starving to death......Not for a million dollars.......ok, maybe for a million dollars, but I would need to see the cash first. GAG !!! 7/7/2012

Anyone have a clue? Could be squid, could be some sort of flattened fish. This was also in the chip aisle in case crunchy seasoned crabs aren't your thing. It appeared to be dehydrated, like beef jerky, except it wasn't beef. There was not a bag of Fritos to be found, or a Diet Dr Pepper for that matter, but let me tell you there is no shortage of questionable food items here. 7/7/2012
 
This was actually eaten by David. It was on the breakfast buffet and was called "Chinese Dessert". David said it had pork, shrimp, shredded carrots, and green peas in it. It was steamed in some kind of rice wrapper. His review of it was "it's alright". There are plenty of other great foods at breakfast, but this wasn't one of them. 7/7/2012
 
These are roasted sweet potatoes and they are served this way everywhere. They are usually in a container like this on hot black stones. They smell awesome and taste delicious. They are at breakfast every morning. They are tiny, too !!! Like maybe 3" long at the most. We've never seen sweet potatoes this small, but they are very good. 7/7/2012
 
Pizzas. They aren't served hot. They are room temperature. Some of them look pretty good! But seriously, can't we heat them up? 7/7/2012
 
 
A buffet that was open right out onto the street. It smelled awful, like really fishy fish. But that is probably because it had really fishy looking fried fish right at the front, in the middle. Worse than that was that their heads and tails and skin were on. They were small fish - certainly not worth the trouble in my book. 7/8/2012

Love to you all !!!
