The food tour that we went on today was amazing. One of my favorite foods that I tried was brisket. Normally, I do not tend to eat meat too much when I am home, and it was nice to taste something with a different flavor. The bread crunched as I bit into it and the brisket covered with a tomato seemed to melt in my mouth. One of the only other food items that I liked on the food tour was the red beans and rice and the Mardi Gras dip. The Mardi Gras dip tasted like sour cream, but with a kick to it. It made my mouth feel as though it was on fire, especially since I also do not get many foods with spices often. Also on the food tour I tasted turtle and shrimp for the first time. Surprisingly, the shrimp was a bright orange color that I was expecting. The coolness of the shrimp entered my mouth and then the horseradish sauce that covered the shrimp started to burn my mouth. After the food tour, Sommer and I decided to skip dinner and walk to Café Du Monde to get beignets. Beignets are basically like a donut covered in a fair amount of powered sugar, and they are delicious. I also had a nice up of warm hot coco because about this time the temperature outside started to get a little bit chilly and it was nice to warm myself up. Overall, the food was my favorite experience today because of how different someone of it was from what I normally eat back home.
