in response to the reply to my last blog.

 Here is what I have noticed and experienced about U.S food.

 First off, just let me start by saying before I left I was 132lbs (9.4stone) and just under 3 months I am now 140lbs (10 stone). I wanted to gain weight as I was under weight. Well I certainly gained my wish.

 I wanted to be open and try different things when I came here. As I used to be a fussy eater and I never eat anything except sausage and chips.  The only thing I sometimes get confused with out of habit is calling hot dogs sausages. As to the English, Hot dogs and sausages are one in the same, where as here they are different.

 For the past weeks I have lived on Hot dogs from A-plus, Herr's chips, Sausage sandwich or hamburger from Valley pizza, also trying for the first time fries with cheese on. The big thing for me was trying my very first pizza here, I have come to like the plain pizza with no sauce on, I've also had my very first Omelette which I also liked a lot.

Also, thanks to some excellent home cooking I have had pork chops and tried ham on it's own. This may not seem a big deal but I have to say the meat here is simply the best. The ham here is different from what English calls ham, (especially as we been getting French and other foreign meat.) Everything I have tried here has been great.

I also had my very first pretzel from a shop called Antie Annes in Walmart. Which I loved they simply don't have them in England. 

 The only thing I've been really influenced since being here is being introduced to this thing call Rock or roll, oh wait Rock n Roll.

Discovering bands like, Good Charlotte,All American rejects, A7x, Breaking Benjamin also Tenacious D.  Although it is more than likely that this type of music is played in peoples homes in England, it is more dominant here than I have seen it anywhere else.

Well that is all she wrote folks.

Ha! quite interesting. I say sasauge that sounds different ? I will go to lunch today here in downtown San Francisco and ask at my local hot dog shop for a sasauge I wonder what they will say ? Dude you best do some push ups or sit ups cause what your eating sounds dam good and when it's that good it catches up, now you have to try the same foods your eating but in Bar B Q style it's the same food but cooked on a grill, and smoked and don't forget the Tony Romas BBQ sauce with some ribs, then you will gain much more pounds, Ha ! I can't believe you eat pizza without the sauce ? Pizza without sauce is not pizza it's just bread with cheese ? If you like it that way you should eat a quesadilla that is a mexican name for a wonderful flour tortilla with melted moterey cheese, you will love it. Tenacious D rocked dude that was a funny ass movie, reminds me of one of my friends, Big Red. You need to see a movie called Blue Hawaii with Elvis Presly that movie was the bomb yo and of couse Heavy Metal 2000 one of the most awesome animated movies ever, just rent it at your local video store. Cool to hear all that mate, chat soon ey . C-ya and remember push ups and sit ups or else, Meg might not like you no more. (just kidding) Ha! I cracks me up.
