Food Winners and Loosers of the Week - Who Says Fish Bait Doesn't Go on Salad?

Looser:

We ended up in a restaurant with no English spoken and no pictures on menus. When in doubt, the "Special" is usually a good choice. This time it was not a good choice. A beautiful plate was placed before us. It had a baked potato-sized lump covered with with a light pink icing sort of "stuff" and lightly sprinkled with bright red fish eggs - this was not in the caviar category - this was in the fish bait category. The fish bait tasted just like fish bait. The icing "stuff" had a soy flavor - not too bad....and underneath were avocados - not too bad....but underneath that was raw, ground meat... who knows what kind of meat it was. I tasted it and Greg actually ate it. This leads me to believe that there is good reason that women live longer than men.

Sort of Looser:

After the raw meat, this looked good. The salad was beautiful. It had teeny, tiny little red fish eggs all over the top. They still tasted like fish bait.

Looser:

Freshness Burger. A really bad hamburger at the Japanese version of a fast food restaurant. The restaurant is called "Freshness Burger" also. There is a reason McDonalds is doing so well here and it is because of Freshness Burger.


Sort of Winner:

Amino Supli. As you can tell by the name of this drink, Amino Supli, the Japanese love to add "English" names to things. Who knows what Amino Supli means but it sounds good. It even tasted pretty good. It was a watered down grapefruit, orange, lemon type canned drink. I would buy it again.

Winner:

Anna Miller's American Style Pies. This was a Pennsylvania Dutch restaurant with the Amish style logo of "Cookin' Lasts, Kissin' Don't" on their cute take-away boxes. This place gets a 3 YUM rating (YUM, YUM, YUM).
