Whenever I’m in the U.S., I at least once have to have a burger in a real American diner. For me, that’s a vital part of the experience of being in the U.S. which I wouldn’t want to miss. Add a milkshake to the burger and you’ve finally become part of the American way of life.

Have a safe trip, and I enjoy reading about it a lot. :-)

I still can’t help feeling that nutrition ideologies has replaced religion in our days. And the more I hear about it, the more I read about – I feel much more sure about my conclusions.
One of my favourites quotes is still a line I picked up from Alfred Biolek: “Mabye vegans or vegatarians are living healthier, but do they live happier?”

With reading of this text I thought what thematic and mental jump. But it is not in such a way. Food and the eating rituals are important factors in our lives, depending on the culture where we live. The change of location/of the country does a big difference. Not only because food is simply different. Behind it is so much: the variability of geographical cultivation areas, the variability of the history and culture, the social distinctions…

In the time as I lived abroad it was really hard for me to accept the eating habits. Mostly I missed the german bread and a good white coffee. Food was so different, not full-value and healthy enough. I did not got the products from home or I had to looked for a long time.
One day I was invited with the neighbour. It was very unusual: a gigantic serving meat in watery sauce, potatoes and overcooked vegetables. To the dessert there was a lot of sugar by the external form of a biscuits. My eating habits partially stepped in the background, the perception / integration of my new surroundings was more important.
Every Friday 15.00 o’clock I went in the pub. About 17.00 o’clock I had drunk my second or third pint – never conceivable in Germany. With beer, sandwiches and music I took part in the life and felt fine.
Together to drink something and to eat welds together people. It doesn’t matter of which nation the person are, which history they have and how old they are.

My father has paid attention very much to a common food taking. As a young girl it has often irritated me because I have understood this meaning very much later.
Together to eat is a good medium for the exercise of communication.

You haven’t lived the American way of life if you haven’t tried

- corn dog
- Orios
- root beer (it’s a non alcoholic soda)

and my favourite (or shall I say favorite)

- “I can’t believe it’s not butter”

Having said this, I stick to baked beans

Ich bin eigentlich Vegetarierin und hab gestern Fleisch gegessen, weil ich in Aachen unterwegs war und nicht aufgepasst hab XD… Naja, gestern hab ich auch 20 Euro an nen Fahrkartenautomaten verloren. Vorgestern erlebte ich nen Rettungseinsatz mit mehrfachem Wiederbeleben mit… Eine ältere Frau ist umgekippt… und ihr Mann hat sie erst 10 Minuten später entdekct, ich kam dazu und er hatte grad vorher den Krankenwagen gerufen XD.. Reisen ist echt erlebnisreich… Achso.. und bei Mc… hab ich auch immer Pommes und nen Garchtensalat gegessen.. XD.

Von meinem Wissenschaft und Zukunft-Seminar erzähl ich jetzt erst mal nichts weiter. Die nächsten Wochen werde ich nämlich uach weiterhin unterwegs in Deutschland verbringen… Vll gefällt mir deshalb gerade so gut, dass MM hier so eine berichterstattung führt :D.

Did you know that peanuts is the type of food which has the highest chance to be aspirated ?

Oder wer hat die Dinger noch nie in die falsche Röhre gekriegt?? :-)

(Mh, Kürbiskernbrötchenburger, I shall think about it, @Janna. Spring is for me usually the time to make a small diet and sports… The winter was hard, too much antidepressant (= chocolate) and celebrations. Puh…)

@Walter: Who want’s to know that ?! I always wonder when I see people eating salad at Mc Donalds. I don’t go there many often, but when I’m there, I want to eat something foolish, unhealthy. The same thing when people start making their burgers with “Kürbiskernbrötchen” (sorry, but I think that there doesn’t exist an englisch word for Kürbiskernbrötchen)… that’s not part of the game
