Man, I seem to be writing a lot about food lately.
So, not too far away from our house there's this convenience store that sells hot dogs, and other not-so-good-for-you instant gratification type "food".
Now that I'm a fishitarian, the vast majority of that stuff is in my no-fly-zone.
But, I did find they had this one thing, which I have had before, that I LOVE.
It's a latin dish, Salvadoran specifically, I think, called a pupusa.
Now I'm not under any illusions here. Convenience store pupusa are still junk food crap. Any food you pop in a high speed microwave and then eat sitting in your car isn't really a great idea.
I don't care. I love them.
I was really stoked when I found out there's a Salvadoran restaurant near my office that makes pupusas from scratch.
Feast your eyes on these corn-tortilla-cheese-and-frijoles-refritos-filled-beauties.
With a side of fried yuca and strawberry soda? Yes please.
They were, in a word, AMAZING. So damn good. They were to convenience-store-pupusas like a fine wine is to a glass of canned grapefruit juice. They just melted in my mouth. Fantastico!
I sometimes have lunch with my friend Tasha, and I am PSYCHED to go here with her.
