i won a contest to go to new york! i just got back this morning so im still pretty tired. from canada to the united states, its a pretty big thing. i had the time of my life there. china town has the lowest prices youll ever see, unless their ripping you off for an even higher price or a really cheap souvenier. i bargained 5 bucks Just by going

(sorry quotations dont work on french comps)

i saw lady liberty - and learned a lot about american history.
but i do know this, anywhere you go in new york; McDonalds will be there.

i went to the museum of natural history. But the only downside was, they didnt have plain, ordinary water! :cry:

the bus - it was a coach. i loved the trip, just getting there and back. especially going back though. i gave my girlfriend a bracelet (20 US bucks or so) - wrapped my arm around her, gave her my coat for a blanket. i couldnt go to sleep. time of my life.

You can experience that at any Cracker Barrel. =3

Anywhere you go in North America or Europe; there is always a golden archs. :wink: soon they will take over the world with there big Macs and quarter ponders.

The only thing real at Taco Bell is the steak and chicken. My Granny makes the best food ever. Dressing, rolls, and turkey. 'course, there's other stuff but I don't eat a lot of it cause I'm picky. <3

I wouldn't label Cracker Barrel as much "Southern food" as simply general "comfort food" - it has a pretty even balance of Southern, Northeastern and Midwestern specialties...
:3

Now, if you want a real "Southern restaurant" experience, find a Waffle House...or Huddle House...
XD

Of course, NOTHING compares to homemade...mamma Wynni's being the best around...
;3


Oh yes - glad to hear you had a good time in the good ol' U S of A!
X3

Amen to that, Tuna. Nothing can compare to Mammy's cooking, ain't that right Mammy?

All the vegetables are genetically modified... Rice soup on a cold rainy day =^_^=

I will be waiting for that day to come, if you are actually able to that. I would actually show up for something like that.

Well, yeah. There's no such thing as non-genetically engineered food. It's called "agriculture". Like, this tomatoe plant is huge and makes huge tomatoes, so let's have it pollenate other tomatoe plants. This bull and cow are huge, so let's have him mate with lots of cows to make huge, meaty bulls and huge, massively milk producing cows. Genetically engineered food is the same thing, just faster and not as boring. And that's my rant for the day.

Oh don't tease about that! I would absolutely *love* an opportunity like that. Unfortunately, if it were to take place sometime in '08 I'd probably have to pass, since my vacation / travel budget is already stretched to the limit for this year.

As for the original topic of the thread: I've never actually been to New York, though I'd love to someday. Actually, I've never been anywhere in the Northeastern USA. It is definitely something I want to do, but I've simply not had an excuse to go yet.

Been to new york, lived there, its SUCKS because the poeple are jerks and kinda raceist

Genetically modified food, for the moment, is mostly confined to BTcorn. There has been some developed into rice, but corn is the main GM food on the market today (and thus anything that has corn in it). Natural modification (or selective breeding of cattle) is relatively safe. GM foods, though, require extensive government testing to even be considered edible. I know of some countries that won't even take relief food that has been genetically modified, seeing it as evil- this is a whole different rant, though.

Anyway, many crops, like tomatoes, haven't gotten much as far as true genetic engineering is concerned. They've just relied on clever cross pollination tactics to have better produce.



You pack 8 million people into suck a tiny space, what do you think will happen? Thats why I prefer the country. I look out my dorm window and I can see cow pastures.
