OK, so I am in the US right now, for work. Three weeks, most of it eating out. We went to Cheesecake Factory, and I decided to have a dessert ( I had decided to allow myself two while I am here, which is an increase, at home I have dessert once a month, when I take my wife out for dinner, and we share it, I used to get her to order something I liked and I'd eat 1 1/2 ). Anyhow, the point is, I intended from the start to only have a couple of bites, but, I actually found it so sweet that, while I like the taste of mango ( which it was ), I found the whole thing quite over powering. So, it was a valuable object lesson, I'm not feeling inclined to consider 'allowing' myself the odd 'treat', because it really wasn't that great, after all.
American coffee is filthy though, it's a blend designed to be mixed with sugar syrups, and although I love coffee without sugar at home, I can't drink it without some dextrose ( which I preordered from Amazon ). Sadly, I can't take it with me as I travel around the country, I don't feel like spending an hour explaining to a US airport employee with a gun why I am carrying a bag of white powder.
