One of the advantages of life happening in local places (as opposed to In General) is that you get local eateries like Chili Works and El Parasol, that make the most incomparably wonderful breakfast burritos and tacos (respectively).
But the trouble with this model is that if one were to move to DC or Kenya or somewhere, it would become difficult to obtain said incomparable burritos and tacos. The Facebook group for Chili Works is full of people from elsewhere bemoaning that very problem. I guess you just have to learn to love the local eateries in the new places, but this parting is a grievous effect of being embodied and therefore only in one place at a time. [Here it would be fun to go off on the amazingness of the doctrine of the Incarnation.]
On the other hand, if one were disembodied and everywhere, one wouldn't have quite the same interest in breakfast burritos and tacos. Either that, or you'd be like a pirate on the Black Pearl, and that wouldn't be nice either.
If one were in Kenya (or something), you're right- one would have feverish dreams involving Chile Works and El Parasol, but one would also find new craveables like Chicken Korma and Pizza Peri-Peri. =)
ReplyDeleteHow true. But I have a solution. Pay close attention to how they make the food, and then make your own. Slight difficulty with getting the ingredients for the chili works burritos. Tacos are easier. Fajitas are easy, and guacamole is essential!
