living in america: it takes a village!
in college, my groomsman william and i dreamed up a character called third world country guy and we said if third world country guy came to visit us in the states and saw the way we lived….while they ate rocks and bugs….he* would kick our @$$. price club would be an example. owning animals as pets instead of as potential food source is another. here is another:
no doubt that we are grateful for our friends jackie and larry taking us out for dinner on city island; the hidden gem of a seafood community in the bronx! the bronx!
but look at that dish…..advertised for 2….for 2! its 2 lobsters, calamari, shrimp, pasta and other shellfish. third world country guy could feed his whole village!
this is was my soft shell crab dish…..for 1! for 1!!!
normally i get one or two with a typical soft shell crab dish…i got four! they were pretty big suckers too.
here are the leftovers from the dish for 2. look at the “doggy bag” we were given.
we invited steph and angie over for dinner and the four of us couldn’t finish it! this is what america is all about. no wonder third world country guy is so angry!
* of course on 9/11, we discovered that third world country guy had a name.
