...be on vacation and leave your hotel room without something that will take a picture. We did just tonight on the way to dinner. Philip ordered "Suprema Chicken Maryland," under the "Bird" section of the menu at a restaurant here in Buenos Aires.
What came? Well, the unbelievable. There was a cutlet of chicken breast with the tiniest little leg sticking out its side. Atop this was a very, very thin slice of grilled ham. Topping it off was a pile of roasted red peppers. That was all on the left side of the plate. On the right side was a silver-dollar-sized dollop of [orange-colored] mashed potatoes, with a two-inch long potato chip stuck in it. Next to that was a small dish of grits with white cheese melted in them. In between these opposing sides of the plate was ... the pièce de résistance of the whole, hot mess: a whole banana, peeled, breaded, and deep fried.
We didn't--and still don't--know what to make of it. But, it was hilarious and worth the price of admission.
But, the moral of my post is, don't leave home without something to record such moments. I wish I'd had my camera!
