Day 4 - The food is excellent (not excellent, just different)

Look at that breakfast. What a smorgasbord of fantastic things. Eggs, baked beans, mushrooms. Smoked salmon on the side. All-bran with yogurt. My heart is content. Stomach too.

I forgot to mention that yesterday for lunch, I had bean and Quail egg salad. The quail eggs were so cute! And absolutely delicious of course. We need more quail eggs back in the states.

I have a feeling this could turn into a 90 percent food journal. There's just so much of it. I am completely enamored when walking through the aisles of the grocery stores, noticing the differences in labels, portions sizes, and just general branding. The advertising industry has ruined me in that sense.

Take for instance those baked beans pictured in the post below. I mean, how could you NOT buy those cans? They're perfect in every way. And they're not scared to spell Beans with a Z either. Takes some gall. Heinz has it.

I even love the different soda cans. Especially the ones that have counterparts in the US. For example, the lovely Dr. Pepper zero, which is otherwise known as DDP (Diet Dr. Pepper for those not in the know).

That's a damn good can! Interesting to note, and I can't recall if this is on the US labels or not, but apparently this is a "carbonated low calorie fruit flavour soft drink". Since when does Dr Pepper taste like fruit? And what fruit would that be? I am interested to know.

Also below the car code are 2 lines which ask "What's the worst that could happen?" Not necessarily a standard slogan on a soda can, but whatever.

Here is another of my favorites, the Pepsi Max:


That black can just screams badass. It's so extreme. I should go skateboard now after downing this holy grail of caffeine.

There are at least a dozen other cans worthy of being photographed. I'll ration them though.
