Robb cannot have these pies.

New Mexican food is the greatest in the universe. Oh my god.

Here are the cheese enchiladas, Christmas-style, with a fried egg, at Atrisco Cafe in Sante Fe:



Here is the breakfast burrito, also Christmas, at the Pantry, Sante Fe's most popular local breakfast joint, with a line out the door every morning, home to inarguably the greatest breakfast burrito on this or any other planet:



Oh my god.

You want these pies, Robb. But you cannot have these pies.

I'm not going to wait for some Public Relations flack to get around to responding to you, so I'll just say it to you now, pinhead. Go fuck yourself sideways with your shit-filled burrito.

Wh-- why are you saying these things?

By the way, I've gone jogging *twice* since the weigh-in.

I've eaten reasonable food that isn't rich and had small portions.

I weighed six pounds more than I started the week. I am literally violating the laws of thermodynamics. I'm eating maybe 1400 calories a day, running my ass off and gaining 2.5 pounds a day.

I would be better off eating those pies! I can't have those pies though, can I?

It was my understanding that you could not, in fact, have those pies.

By the way, I want you to notice something in the first picture. Look on the right, at what looks like a large piece of fried dough.

That is, in actuality: a large piece of fried dough.

Every meal in NM is served with it. It is called a "sopaipilla", and is served with a squeeze bottle of honey, or honey-like syrup mixture.

The point of this large piece of fried dough is... first, if your fat ass hasn't already cleaned your plated of sauce and cheese and lard and cheese, you can sop up the leavin's with this piece of dough. And then if there's fried dough left, you are to drizzle the honey all over it and have it afterward.

I now feel that Walter White is New Mexico's only salvation, as I can't imagine any other way to get out of the state without being 500+ pounds unless you become a hardcore meth addict.

He's doing a service that I think is not really shown in some of the later episodes.

God, I want an uncut pizza. Did you get an uncut pizza? Were savings passed onto you?

I so wanted to get an uncut pizza. Unfortunately, that little piece of fiction is just that.

Also, there was no chance I was going to waste any meal opportunities in NM on something that did not include either red and/or green chiles. I even snuck a few BONUS MEALS in there to make sure I got the proper variety.

Also, here is a picture of the hamburger I had when we researched where to get the "best green chile cheeseburger in town". This picture is not my own, but please believe me when I tell you it looked exactly like this.

It was, and I say this without a moment's hesitation, the best burger I've ever had in my life.

Living in San Diego, the food was usually a weird sort of texmex with a higher balance toward the mex (though the burritos and such were quite generic), but its interesting to see the variations in places such as New Mexico, Texas (the exact same dish and sides vary between cities), and California where you'd expect the mexican food to be more genuine since half the population is, ya know, Mexican.

But I've had the dough thing before, as well as blue and pink corn tortillas, regional variations of Mexican food (the differences between Tijuanam, Mexicali, Reynosa, and Tepic cuisine were far more pronounced than I expected) and finding out the culinary quirks of a specific area are quite interesting.

Know what always ruins a great meal?

I thought you wanted to chase everyone away from this BBS. I was just returning the favor by trying to chase you away. Actually it's because I was disgusted by you showing those delicious-looking and hugely over-caloried burritos.

The real reason was, since you were saying it was a message for Robb, I was trying to find a way to sneak the word "flack" into the sentence. And I won't say why, as it follows our rule "#3, "Don't explain the joke." Rule #1 is, "We don't do Quizzes" and rule #2 is "I would rather publicly eat shit on a plate in Wal*Mart than do that."
