Best/worst In Convent Food

[Shana]

I've just visited the Daughters of St. Paul in Alexandria VA, and the food was good! Sr. Margaret Micheal (vocation directress) loves to cook! And one night we got an authentic Phillipino meal!

The worst:
A sister once had a frozen chicken in the microwave to thaw his highest position. It smelled a stinking corpse. I really couldn't eat. That was my biggest nightmare and thought what the hell did I get in there.

I used to live with Polish Sisters, and the fare was interesting...

the first dinner with kiolbasa made me sick to my stomach, because they ate theirs raw...

and then, there was that yummy treat of vegetables and chicken pieces gelatized in a cup... (don't remember the name...sounds kinda gross...looked really gross...but was delicious!)

It's really, really hard for me to believe that the Lord intended for us to eat liver.[img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/sadder.gif[/img]

[b]The very worst:[/b]

EEL in kabayaki sauce

yup. it looked worse than it tasted. it wasn't so much the taste of it (it tasted like fish) it was the slimy way it felt....like you had just placed a live snake in your mouth!

mmm
unagi
dragon maki
i think that when eel is served as sushi it is usually a bit more dry, i have never had slimy eel. I wonder what the secret is out of all the good eel sushi i have had

Although there was nothing wrong with the food itself, this was one of our more memorable meals: It was one of our first mornings in Paris. A nice box of corn flakes came down the table because, after all, the Americans are used to corn flakes. The cook, however, was not, nor were the other Europeans. Box in hand, we looked around for the bowls. Not one in sight. So we held our breath and gingerly poured the cereal onto our plates. (This was in silence, of course, and none of us trusted our French far enough to try explaining.) Next came the nice big pitcher of milk. Hot. Very hot. Oh well, they were really trying, and we appreciated the effort. So we very carefully startetd pouring. The only trouble was that a flat plate doesn't hold very much, so most of the cereal was world-class crunchy. After that we realized that the only flatware in sight was a knife and a teaspoon. That was the end of the good impression we were trying to make. We bravely set to work with our teaspoons, and the giggles set in as we chased the flakes around, trying not to give the table a milk bath in the process. I glanced up to see how our Spanish companion was managing. Too late. Her flakes were already drowned in her coffee, the French girl beside her had followed suit, and they were both obviously trying to figure out what to do next. One was going at it with a spoon. The other was trying to drink her coffee through it. After that meal, we gathered up our collective French and explained to our long-suffering Superior what the hilarity was about. The next time a box of Kellogg's appeared, everything was just fine.
After that, the artichokes were nothing. The meal was in recreation, and the French sisters spread themselves out to give us a demonstration. That was another show.
I loved Paris.
