Ok, so this really isn't about veal. Well kinda. Or not really. But I did have veal! At my grandma's. She bought these meat sticks. They were pretty tasty. I took a bite. After a bite or two, I was informed that I was eating a veal stick. I had not really planned on eating veal just because of the simple fact that veal is baby cow. *sad face* I hate to say it, or love to say, that it was quite tasty.
Ya know, I've had a few new foods since the beginning of my adventure that I have failed to mention in my blogs just because of the simple fact that I am lazy.
But I have tried the following:
-Fried Okra from Bandanas BBQ
verdict: It didn't taste like anything. Blah. But most of the time when I have fried food, it doesn't ever taste like anything.
-Leeks
verdict: Michael and I made Parsley soup. Leeks were involved. Smell like onions. Taste like onions. Not as potent as onions.
-Pho (pronounced FUH) from Pho Square in Rockford on Riverside.
verdict: Vietnamese soup. I had heard good things about this soup from friends and therefore tried it with them. They give you a big bowl of soup. I got the vegetable Pho. It had a bunch of different types of veggies along with Tofu. I like tofu. It was a tad bland but it looked absolutely beautiful. And for the record, the people that worked there were the most friendly people I have ever met! (Especially being at a restaurant.) They were so friendly, it put me in a great mood.
-Pastrami (from the workplace. Aka: Subway.)
verdict: It was kind of fatty. Okay, so it was really fatty. And greasy. But you know what, I had it once. The flavor was really good though. Not one of Subway's finest sandwiches but a good flavor. Just add some nice yellow mustard and it was a decent sandwich. I ended up having it 3 or 4 times.
