Remember the cereals....and junk food
Food...Glorious food…..Hot chicks and mustard….something like that. Even though Big Mama is stuffing me with 6 course meals every day, I still miss the great foods that I have grown accustomed to in Birmingham.
Here’s the few that come to mind….
Crunchy Nut Milk Chocolate Clusters – It’s rare for a cereal to take the pedestal of Kelloggs Frosties (Eating it since I was 8). But this little cereal blended the nectar of the gods with the secretions of an Aphrodite. I even convinced the cashier at Tescos to give it a try when I went in for my 5 boxes a week stash. I bet she’s moved up I world now…probably a bag lady at Marks and Spencers.
Big Wok – All you can eat baby! Been there are least 10 times and I’ve only gotten sick 3 of those times! I’m so proud of myself! 50 oil dripping dishes that would give a buffalo a coronary. Wonderful stuff.
Bar on Bar – Recently discovered that they have some of the finest pizzas in town! Pizza Express…you don’t hold a candle! Soft, fluffy, delightful little pizzas at this little bar near the canals. Thank you to Demi-God and Raven for the introduction.
Walkers Sweet Thai Chilli – Fantastic chips that I can eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner and still look forward to its mouth watering goodness when I lay my lovely locks on the pillow at night.
Subway – That’s right! Sri Lanka doesn’t have a Subway! How barbaric! Meatball Marinara you can stink up a room like a bitch but hell, you taste so good! Ah, the number of times The Don and me have picked up a sub and gone to my room and watched Family Guy or some equally entertaining program on my baby….You can’t eat memories like that!
Cafe Gusto - A newly discovered coffee joint by Italian Demi-god and Raven. Very cool with a great atmosphere and excellent service by the Italian staff who Demi-god shamelessly chats up because she speaks Italian.
Crepe Joint in South Kensington – Darwin, Lady Pagan and Clocked One will agree with me when I say that this place truly rocked when it came to making out of this world Crepes. I thought a crepe was the consequence of passing a really large stone before I went into this joint. Live and learn people and believe, sinking your teeth into these little beauties will tingle your giblets to high heaven. Chocolate Hazelnut crepe…I recommend to thee!
If ever any of you tumors with hair come to Sri Lanka, pick up these goodies along with you. It might stop me from shooting your ass when you step foot on my property.

Bastard, I tagged you. Check my blog. Oh, I should check those food joints. Only had the chips and cereal so far. But Panini is good.
I really like the SouthKen crepes too, they're delicious. You didn't mention Ben's Cookies, are you not a fan of that then?
On the plus side, you've got more than enough delicacies such as lunu miris and ambul thiyal and ghodamba/kottu roti.
Oh man, Subway subs are a guilty pleasure which i very much miss on jaunts to the motherland.
I haven't been brave enough to try any of the local essaies at it because of my spoilage at the teat of "Eat Fresh."
I'm afraid I didn't experience Ben's cookies long enough for it to be an addiction. I doubt that some of those veggies in Subway are as fresh as they claim. I've seen green tomatoes there. But hell that won't stop me!
And damn it Sloth! Stop beginning every sentence you with "Bastard". Amma read a text you sent me which you started out the same way and she won't stop annoying me qith questions like "Why does he think you're a bastard?". So QUIT IT!
