Restaurant and Food Blog Costa Rica May Archive

I went out to eat the other day and ordered a regular salad. After a few bites I thought... hmm.. tastes like chicken. They must be having a bad day.

I sent the salad back and told them I wanted a hamburger. I can't stand hamburgers in Costa Rica because they cook them into a piece of cardboard and then some more.

It was a long wait for the hamburger, they really tried hard to make sure it was a cooked as it could be plus some without burning it. I think they might have deep fried it and then run it through on old style clothes ringer to get the grease out and then cook it some more.

Ok, finally I have my food. A greaseless hamburger and cold soggy french frieds that were "cooked" in a deep frier full of luke warm oil. Hmm... tastes like chicken! Damn!

I'm fed up and very hungry now. They have feed the hamburger to the rats but I suspect they won't be any more interested than I was.

Now, I'll order beef liver. No way can that taste like chicken. Beef liver comes out and I almost gag on my first bite! Still tastes like chicken.

I must have been hypnotised by the Dicovery Channel into thinking everything tastes like chicken. I might as well go catch an iguana and eat that as its supposed to taste like chicken!

And, no this is not a funny food story!

Funny Food Speeches

Did you ever hear a funny food speech? You know one where the bananas got up and started to sing and dance, if only to show off their intelligence levels?

It's not that funny, but it is certainly better than in Costa Rica. Rather than refrigerate their meat, they just scrape off the maggots and slap it on the grill. Ok, you probably don't believe me, but its a pretty funny food story anyway.

You could take your kids out to dinner and order an overcooked hamburger or a chicken salad sandwich and ask them to tell you a funny story.

If your kids are young you'll probably get the best funny food speech ever.
