It's traditional! You're supposed to eat fish and chips with a wooden chip fork out of newspaper whilst standing under an umbrella at a rainy row of shops waiting for the bus. Quintessential (read: imagined) England of yesteryear, right there.

It's also not allowed here anymore. Some nonsense to do with ink poisoning :roll:

For some reason, I just can't be feel put down by someone I imagine drinking malt liquor out of a paper bag whilst pulling feeling his head for lice.

Savia... I'm jealous, there's no English-style anything here :P
Now, don't feel bad. It's not you, it's me. I Don't Like You. -.-

That's how you imagine me? lol >_<
I didn't mean it as a insult, I just thought it was weird that a restaurant would sell something wrapped in a old news paper, lol. I love fish and chips, but when they serve it they either serve it in a Styrofoam package or something here, or god forbid, on a plate or in a basket, lol.

And i don't have lice ....it's dandruff >.>;

also served wrapped in newspaper... HUGE pieces of fish... stubby fries...

I forgot the pizza at Columbo's (Elkhart, IN). In general... the pizza places from northern Indiana to Chicago are stellar... but his is my favorite.

The roast beef at Das Dutchman Essenhaus (Middlebury, IN). Amish style cooking FTW!

...wow ...just ...wow ...


You can't even imagine. For some reason, this tourist trap has got itself an A++ pastry chef who makes all kinds of unbelievable things. What's funny is that I'm not a huge fan of apple pie, caramel, etc., but this particular dessert just completely knocked me out the second I SAW it. It tastes even better than it looks, too, which is always a plus.

Chen's Restaurant - BEST Lo Mein in the state, also a top Chinese food restaurant (they make the best "American" Chinese food I've ever had, so if that's how you like it, then they're where you need to be.) Next time I go visit R.I. I plan on buying about $100 of their food, freezing it and lugging it back to VT with me!

Pick Pockets - The most ... ok this should have been on my other list of favorite things...AWESOME chicken Caeser wrap imaginable. I bite into one and my eyes kind of glaze over.

Sweetcakes - A little hole-in-the-wall bakery shop run by a somewhat eccentric woman who nevertheless is an amazing baker. Five-inch high brownies that don't even LOOK like brownies because they are so...indescribable.

Catered to Your Whims - Peanut/Raisin/Broccoli/Onion salad. I don't like broccoli, nor am I partial to peanuts, raisins or onions and CERTAINLY not in the same dish. Or so one would think...mix it up with a mysterious sauce and it's suddenly one of the greatest things I've ever eaten.

In case anyone hasn't figured this out yet, Rhode Island has an incredible number of restaurants and is a fabulous place to find outstanding food of all kinds any time of year. lol Next to my family, the food is the #1 thing I miss about living there (which isn't saying much, because otherwise I hate Rhode Island).

I'm going to start getting sniffly in a second because I miss these yummy things so much. @_@

It's the only place I know where you could find Thai, Szechuan, Indian, Cantonese, Italian, American, Mexican, French, Cambodian and probably more all within 20 minutes of each other.

Big Alice's for kickass ice cream

Union Station Brewery for it's Velvet Stout ale!

Sicilia's for stuffed pizza that's out of this world.. and almost too big to fit in your mouth :lol:

And how I miss the calamari and stuffed quahogs.. yum!
Now, don't feel bad. It's not you, it's me. I Don't Like You. -.-

So the big nostalgic thing is standing in the street going 'It's raining like hell. This fucking sucks' while eating marginal food and slowly poisoning yourself? Suddenly I understand England a lot more than I used to.

That is exactly it. Those were the gold old days!

Now we have to put up with government-approved plain wrapping for our takeaways, which are no longer cod due to overfishing, and are legally obligated to recycle our packaging when done.

It helps that there is no place in the state that takes more than 45 minutes to reach from anywhere else in the state. lol

Calamari - yessss...GOOD calamari! Fresh off the boat! With garlic and butter sauce and hot peppers! I adore eating the little baby squids (whole) in front of people who prefer not to think about the fact that we're consuming something that's also sitting out back in a bait bucket. :lol:

Not such a big fan of bivalves, though. Except in chowder. Actually I'm not big into seafood at all - shrimp, calamari, clamcakes and chowder is about as much as I enjoy. And the occasional lobster roll. I'm not sure how I turned out this way, everyone else in my family is a seafood lover. :?

OMG - WE FORGOT ABOUT DELL'S!!!
