I am not really sure which cart (on the wild streets of Manhattan) I got this “Chicken & Rice with Red Sauce/White Sauce & a Salad” (I think that is it’s proper name) from - but as you can tell from the picture . . . it was nowhere near up to snuff.

I really missed this kind of food while in the deep South - and by ‘this kind of food’ I clearly mean food that is made in more than likely super-clean - do I really want to even think about where (or what) that meat came from - that I am about to eat out of that cute little tin type of food container type of food. Jeez-o-pete . . . this was supposed to be my big welcome back to the kitchen on wheels “Please - my friend - pull up a seat at our table . . . the sidewalk!” - I even walked all the way to Bryant Park so that the setting would be perfect [which is why I can't figure out where the food came from] . . . and then . . . not not so so good.

I was only able to eat the rice and salad parts - and was only able to choke that down because I was hungry enough to eat with a bear (have you ever tried?!) . . .

Not to worry though . . . there are (at least) hundreds of carts out there for me to try (and I am just talking about in my direct path on the way to Times Square) . . . and my stomach is nothing - if not made of stern stuff . . . so I will carry on - until my cart food itch has been scritch - scritch - scratched.

Or until I end up at some classy hospital hooked up to a stomach pump . . .

Hooray!
