    The “Chicken quesadillas from the Cat House” look the best to me. That sauce! The hot dogs and other stuff on sticks in the first photo though… I’ve NEVER stopped to look at those sort of morsels. Well, the BBQ’s chicken on the opposite end would catch my eye, but the anomalous meats industrially fashioned into various shapes and skewered is viscerally repellent.

      I feel like I have gotten so used to food on a stick and it’s various meat parts that I don’t even pay attention anymore, except in passing.

      But I like the weird and the strange (at least from our perspective) especially when I can just look and not try! But I’ve tried a lot already!!!
