the evil of being in a foreign grocery store is seeing so many interesting kinds of junk food -- a passion not shared by many.
yesterday, i bought a small pack of vegetable fries. was pretty good. i finished the whole pack in 2 minutes. was licking the salt off my hands when i decided to read the nutrition label.
ingredients: flour, vegetables, etc etc ... MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE.
which explains why the white crystals on my fingers weren't cube-like as salt crystals usually are.
maybe i should have eaten the fries outdoors, unprotected under the blazing sun, with a side order of nitrate-packed tocino and burnt barbecued pork while injecting myself with hormone replacements and smoking a cigar or two.
cancer paranoia hits hard during times of solitude in non-english-speaking lands.
