Funnily Enough…

In the past several weeks we have experienced all manner of food. In the course of traveling across the entire United States via Amtrak, about the best food that we encountered was food carried along with us (like the Goji Berry Trail Mix, given by our chiropractor in a burst of foresight). Kashi bars were our best source of nutrition compared to the food on the train.

After the train we feared even worse, as we’d heard horror stories from just about everybody who’d ever been traveling. Well … we’ve found the horror stories to be unfounded. The things done to the vegetables may make us cringe (roasted tomatoes with breakfast?), but vegetables seem to be fairly plentiful, and quite well prepared.

I think that about the most interesting thing we’ve discovered so far is that prepared foods in the UK appear to have far lower amounts of sodium than their American counterparts. This seems to be true both of packaged foods and of foods prepared in restaurants.

Now that we’ve found a flat we’re looking forward to exploring a bit more & to cooking for ourselves. Our things should arrive some time within the next several weeks – hopefully before classes begin – and we’ll be making a real effort to get everything settled. At some point in there we’ll figure out where to get film developed, and will be able to start posting pictures not taken with a mobile phone camera!

Off to meet India for lunch. More anon.
