I'm finished with UAE for good and returning to the States in early July 2013.
I've returned home twice so far for summer vacation, and each time I had a craving for something ridiculous that I couldn't get in the UAE.
First time, I wanted Cap'n Crunch with red crunch berries--something that I hadn't eaten since childhood. So why I would suddenly be craving it was beyond me.
To my shock and horror, I found out that Cap'n Crunch with red crunch berries no longer exists as I had once known it.
The new version looks like this:
Wtf? Blue? Purple? Green?
Crunch berries are red. Anyway, I bought a box and ate half of it, and then my craving was finished. In my opinion, they fucked them up real bad.
The second time I returned to the states, I wanted to eat a bunch of hard-shell taco supremes from Taco Bell.
That craving lasted for about an hour after arrival. I went straight from the airport to the nearest Taco Bell and ordered . . . and waited a full twenty minutes for them to make four tacos on their assembly line. By the time I had them in front of me, I already regretted ordering them.
This time around, I anticipate a brand new craving. Round Table pizza. The King Arthur Supreme.
It is my favorite pizza of all time. Unfortunately, I think Round Table restaurants are only open on the west coast. So I might have to take a trip out to see my brother in Oakland to get this craving out of the way.
Of course, once I arrive in the states, I'll immediately start craving falafel. But that should be easier to get over.
