"Why am I thinking 'rotting snail'?"

If it's Wednesday, it must be Morford. He seems particularly horrified that Taco Bell is now offering remarkably bad-food-like substances to eat in the morning that roughly parallel the concept of "breakfast".

Can you not tell at a moment's glance that consumption of this ghastly item will make you fat and sick and walk around all day feeling like you have glue in your blood and thick, gummy cobwebs all over your bones and you can't get them off?

We have a new Taco Bell here in town that replaced a now defunct Taco Bell Express. We also have a plethora of nice Mexican restaurants. The closest Taco Bell comes to Mexican food is what's in the lunch sacks of all the Mexican kids who work there.

3 or 4 times a year we'll get Wendy's burgers as something different from homecooked and once a month we'll get a pizza from Little Joey's up the street. That's about the extent of our fast food intake. Most of it I see on commercials looks so gross I don't think I could force myself to eat it.

That said, when I was younger (in my 20s) I'd always get Taco Hell on the way home from the bar. Hope the damage isn't permanent. Heh ...

... Taco Bell Express ...

What, you run to the can faster than the regular Taco Hell?

Taco Bell Express was sort of a blessing. They didn't offer the complete Taco Bell menu. Heh.

"Run for the border"? No, run for the can...

Just read on MSNBC that Taco Bell was the source of a salmonella outbreak in Oklahoma last fall. They were keeping it hush hush so it wouldn't hurt business.

Haven't eaten fast food in literally twenty years. Last time I remember having it, it felt like an indigestible lump in my belly.

I was in Vegas for a few days and just got back home yesterday Found the best little eatery downtown: the Hawaiian Grill at The Plaza. This place has Hawaaian/Japanese influenced food and it was excellent for a light meal at a great price. I mention it because your posting mentions breakfast. I had the Japanese breakfast, which had a small portion of seared Ahi tuna, a little more rice than I need, a scrambled egg, miso soup, and a piece of Hawaiian bread. It took a little getting used to with my American breakfast sensibilities, but it was excellent and I felt energized and satisfied afterwards.
