Hail to the King!

Having been down here now for about five months, we have not eaten much American-style fast food. We try to eat at the local sodas, or restaurants, most of the time, as we can get our fair share of grease back home. . . However, sometimes there is a need for the greasy, salty and decadent fast food that has bloated America.

Recently, we caved into temptation and hit up Burger King and McDonald's on a trip to San Ramon. Unlike the Colonel, both BK and McD's taste pretty much the same as back home. . . However, this time we discovered Burger King's Cheesy Tots. . . Have mercy, and prepare the angioplasty--these are some tasty things. . .

Not sure if they're available back in the States at Burger King, or if it's a Costa Rica or Central American menu item (McDonald's serves chicken legs and wings) but it's dangerously tasty. . .

As you can probably figure out from the name, it's basically deep-fried tater tots infused with cheese, and they are outstanding. . .

Curiously, after not eating much of this food for our time down here and then gorging ourselves, we were both a little queasy afterwards. . . Lesson learned? Probably not, when cheesy tots are available.
