My favorite meal?... hmmm...

[Part of a hand written letter to Whitney dated 25 JAN 10]
My favorite meal?... hmmm... Well Hna Voigt makes a really good flan, and french toast with soy milk is still really good. We get lasagna, chicken and all that good stuff when we go to English homes for dinner. Actually we get tamales often from the Hispanics. I have had some good ones and some spicy ones, but they all have a strange texture that is hard to swallow. They aren’t bad overall. My favorite Hispanic food yet was a Mexican hotdog. They put chili, onions, fresh salsa and cheese on them. They are really good. I’ll have to send you the recipe for Hna Voigt’s flan. Maybe I’ll send it with the SD card. As in, I’ll take a picture of it. :)

The most interesting/disgusting dish I have eaten was a soup with cow intestines. Gross, gross, gross! Oh, and we went over to a house for dinner with a young couple. He had served his mission in the Philippines and made us some traditional food. The main dish was really good and then he brought out hard boiled duck eggs. However, these were no ordinary eggs. They had been fertilized and incubated for 19 days. There were little ducklings in them! That was the point. He just popped it in his mouth like it was nothing! I took pictures. Well, they took pictures while Hna Voigt ate one and while I dissected it. I just couldn’t bring myself to eat it! That was definitely the most interesting meal I have ever attended. Since I didn’t actually eat it. ;)
