To satisfy your gustatory desires, please review the following board of fare.
Everything tastes better with chocolate...well almost everything.
The U.S. government is loosening restrictions on the import of absinthe. These confections would be an easy introduction to the wonders of wormwood.
So much variety and regional taste - Hot dogs around the country.
Worst foods in America. Oh, but they taste so gooooood...
If you must diet, at least look cool while doing so.
