There are a lot of things I love
about London; I love the people, the atmosphere, the nightlife…but one of my
absolute favorite things is how it continues to impress me with its culinary
excellence. It’s an adventure every day to search around and find what I want
for my next meal, and you had better believe I’m absolutely never disappointed.
Although I love trying new food
(and indulging in anything chocolate-y, cheesy, and/or fried), I know that
sometimes my body gets out of wack when I surprise it with something too
calorie-infused. That’s why, and I am proud of admit it, I just need a salad
sometimes. But it cannot be just any old salad, for goodness sakes I’m in
England! A tiny plate of lettuce, cucumber, and celery simply will not cut it.
Enter my new favorite dish: The Detox Salad.
After a nice, long evening of
enjoying London’s finest dancing establishments, I woke up the next morning
around 12. Okay, so that’s more like afternoon, but that’s still the time of
day where any food applies. Since I’m more of a lunch fiend than breakfast, I
decided to head straight into a salad. This salad was the salad to end all
salads. It contained tomato, carrots, quinoa, cabbage, chicken, avocado, and
the list goes on. In other words, it was straight perfection.
I have friends who are content with
just tossing together a salad from Ernie Davis dining hall at Syracuse that has two pieces
of Romaine and a handful of shredded cheese. I am telling you now, I will never
be satisfied with another mediocre salad again; I am a changed woman.
I love and miss you, I'm counting the days until we're back together!
Love,
Lara
