Foods better in New Orleans and, possibly surprisingly, Seattle.

Crayfish party in New Orleans! Yummie.
Lutefisk in Seattle! Yummie.
Oh it's Friday!
Tacos and TexMex time AKA "Fredagsmys"!
Kids love it:)
And so do I.

In your opinion, maybe... But, not everyone shares that opinion.

While the food in New Orleans is good, I have eaten far better (in my opinion) down on the Texas gulf coast, and truthfully in Dallas also.

Seattle? Eww.. (in my opinion).

But which place has better food is just a matter of individual opinion.

But this is not the same thing as 'hot sauce' in restaurants. That got its heat level toned down here in Texas because the Yankees are a bunch of wimps and can't handle our heat level. The Restaurants quit serving the hotter stuff because they didn't want to get sued by the Yankees. Lots of places you can't even sign a release or even just beg the chef for something similar to the old heat level. This makes me sad.
Twern't the yankees MK, its the Mexicans. You would be surprised how many of them don't like it hot, just warm. As to releases, that is an infestation of lawyers. Round the lot up and dip em in a tank of Dave's.

Sorry 'Johnny Reb'. But this NY 'Yankee' (include the Greatest Baseball Team - Ever). Prefers an educated and nuanced pallet.

Hot Sauce? ??

We don't need to 'cover up' the taste of our exquisitely prepared food!


Clyde,

This is a pallet




I think you mean 'palate'.

And the hot sauce does not 'cover up' the taste of the exquisitely prepared food, it is PART of it.

As in.... COOKED IN.

While it may seem strange to someone that does not partake much of it, The Best flavors usually have the higher heat levels. There is much MORE to the taste of chili pepper than just the heat.

Get past the heat...

The flavor of the dish suffers when the heat level of the pepper is restricted.

You wanna 'cover up the taste' of the exquisitely prepared food, use that abomination known as 'tomato ketchup'. Eww.

Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power.

Yes. Even in Europe. (we call them pallar though)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EUR-pallet
In 1961 the European railways commissioned the standardization of a common pallet type under the auspices of the UIC.
The inventor was supposedly the Svensson brothers of Gyllsjö, Skåne, Sweden.

The main reason is probably that the US dollar is very expensive today comparing to other countries currencies.
My GF's daughter's family was recently in New York.
The only thing that was cheaper there than here was burgers at McDonalds!
But why go to New York when we have McDonalds almost next door?

Once my GF flew from Guam to California on her way to Panama.
She wanted to visit California perhaps for a day.
NO said the Border Control.
An officer grabbed her firm but gently to the exit.

From the way you've worded that, it seems she did not have a visa to visit so the outcome was to be expected.

She had visa but since she also had middle east stamps in her passport...

The Statue of Liberty is at the centre of a violent tourism turf war.

Each year, approximately four million people visit Liberty Island and Ellis Island, and the competition to ferry these tourists on sightseeing trips from New York has become fierce — literally.

Ultra-aggressive hawkers peddling tickets for tours are behind a spate of violence that has culminated in a shooting. And not even the tourists are safe.

Cheers.
