Of course, we ate while we were in the United States. In New York, there were the diners, a great Italian restaurant, a couple of chic restaurants (too dark for good food photos, but trust me). In South Dakota, there were feasts with family and traditional American breakfasts out. In Minnesota, exceptional meals around Saint Paul. And in Seattle, cool meals in trendy places. We ate a lot more than is pictured here.

THE NEW YORK EGG CREAM.
MILK, SELTZER, CHOCOLATE SYRUP (NO EGG).
BETTER IN MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES. |

MY FAVORITE BREAKFAST IN SEATTLE AT "THE EGG & US" IN BALLARD.

Oh Oh Oh you always have the best looking and tasty foods. I would so try these (then pop my magic pill) ~ such joy in eating out.
ReplyDeleteRon:
DeleteI have been many magic pills in recent months. It may be time to change my habits!
portions are too big..
ReplyDeleteGosia:
DeleteThat's the American way. My mother used to take home left overs and have two more meals. I would prefer portions half the size (and half the price)!
YUMMY! Now I see what 'fuel' you used during your USA visit......important not to run out of 'gas'!!
ReplyDeleteThat NY Egg Cream looks interesting...like a thin smoothie?
Jim:
DeleteThe egg cream is simply chocolate milk with fizz. I used to love it more than anything when I was a kid. This time it just tasted to me like chocolate milk with fizz!
A lot of things were better in our childhood memories! and less caloric
ReplyDeleteSheree:
DeleteWell, you remember ME in childhood. Nothing seemed to have calories.
I LOVE EGG CREAMS! and I love most of the food pictured here!
ReplyDeleteanne marie:
DeleteLots of really good meals. The breakfasts in Seattle were exceptional and unusual. I think I'll revert to my memories of egg creams.
It all looks wonderfully delicious, although I would have to push those green peas to the side. The Seattle collage is very tempting! I wish we had more opportunity to eat out here, but that is the price we pay for living in such a remote place.
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteThose green peas were on Jerry's open-faced turkey "sandwich." I'm not a huge fan of green peas, but would have simply mixed them with the mashed potatoes and enjoyed them that way. I would not, however, have piled everything together.
I think I will stick with my small bowl of muesli moistened with fresh spring water. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteHeron:
DeleteTo be honest, muesli sounds pretty good right now. I think I OD'd on overindulgence.
Some of this food is making my mouth water.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteIt's the Milk Duds and Oreos, isn't it?!?
I don't understand that Egg Cream thing. Even with chocolate in it, it doesn't sound good.
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses.
Robyn:
DeleteHugely popular in NY delis for years. If you grew up with it, I think you would have loved it. It's got chocolate!!!
Food and drink, two great pleasures of travel
ReplyDeleteTravel:
DeleteAnd a great pleasure of staying home, too!
Now I'm full! ::::burp:::::
ReplyDeleteBob:
DeleteYou said it, not me... well, I did, too... a lot!
I think I'd go for everything except that egg cream... I'll eat just about anything, but that just didn't appeal to me. Not that I wouldn't try it..... ;0
ReplyDeleteSharon:
DeleteWorth a try but I wonder if you have to have it in childhood to really appreciate it.
oh you do it well!
