Have a great time Señora Elegante! It would be interesting to know about the things that you find amazing in the States. Take good care of yourself and yes try everything at least once (I am refering to food)
EE, I lived in Northern KY for about 3 years and one of my fav things re. food was what they call a 3 way (no joke) it's kinda like spaghetti covered with chile and topped with a liberal amount of grated chedder cheese. It sounds terrible but it's surprisingly good. Make sure you get it with beans. Just say "I'll have a 3 way with beans." You wont be sorry. Where else are you going in the US?
Actually It made me think of southern BBQ. I lived in Fla. for a time and Ive traveled all over the States. Theres nothing on earth like BBq in the south...You really have to try some if you can.

I'm so glad you are having a great time ms. elegance. We might eat some bad food, but we make up for it with a lot of great food, we can hunt ourselves.

justadawg: welcome to the states,,,hope you continue to have great time,,, yeah,we americans eat all that bad stuff!!haha come Texas try tex-mex food, or Texas speciality calf frys,,
The Mexican food in New Mexico is better in my opinion. Visiting ex-inlaws (they weren't ex at the time...lol) there got me hooked. I wish the one restaurant here in Redding that serves Sopapillas did them the right way. I completely enjoyed my lunch in Albuquerque last April *sigh*
Enjoy your time here EE.....one day I'd like to do a tour of the British Isles.

Aww...Don't listen to her. New Mexico is renowned for it's wonderful chilies and their amazing cherries around the Ruidoso area. Taos is gorgeous too but definitely on the spendy side.
I grew up on the Texas/Mexico border and was raised on authentic Mexican food. Once you've had it, anything else doesn't compare. My family used to own land that was sold to White Sands Missile Range. I live on the prairie, shoot guns anytime I want and there's a steady supply of Angus beef.
I have family members in Ireland that I've gotten hooked on beef and turkey jerky and Tabasco Sauce. I get constant e-mails to send more.

woodzchick: Welcome to the states EE. I've been following your postings about you coming over to visit and shooting the gun. I'm excited for you.
Make sure that whoever has the gun gives you a big ole' shotgun to shoot. If you're going to shoot a gun you might as well do it with a big bang.
...and I had to laugh when I read about you eating the hotwings. What is it about the English and hotwings? Summer had a fit over those things, too.
Have a great time, and if you come to Virginia look me up.
p.s. I have guns, live in the woods, and you can shoot all day long.
Thank you Woodz, and hi i'm loving my time here its so beautiful and you Americans are so friendly. Yes the hotwings are good but the ribeye steaks are "The Best"

One guy attempted to come across the border up here in a hockey bag..
Think he would have been successful, if he had chosen the right team..
