I'm saving my dollars to eat as many $5 burritos as possible tomorrow.
I'd like to know this story.
Well, there's not much to it- an Australian chain of Mexican restaurants has a $5 burritos special each year for Cinco de Mayo (5th of May), which is a somewhat important date in Mexican history where a bunch of Mexican soldiers woke up from their siestas long enough to somehow beat a much larger force of French invaders, which was understandably a source of much national pride.
Now with that explanation out of my way, onto my next, very much related, Mild Sad: I don't think I should set myself an eating-based challenge
ever again. I planned on eating four goddamn burritos today (with a decent amount of time between them, of course, I allocated a full day for this so there would be no rush), but I was about halfway through my second when I started to feel uncomfortably full.
It didn't help that the restaurant was much more crowded by that time compared to an hour or so earlier when I had my first one.
To my credit, I managed to
very nearly finish the whole thing despite feeling like I was gonna hurl for the last few bites- there was only one, maybe two bites worth left when I gave up. Still was a sad defeat, though, and I felt bloated beyond belief as I staggered out of the store (forgetting my half-full bottle of water in the process). It's a wonder I didn't barf as I gingerly made my way up the street to the train station, where I shortly had to use the *shudder* public toilet.
On the bright side, perhaps this experience will cure me of my awful habit of trying to finish every damn thing on my plate, even if it's a completely unnecessary amount of food, usually leading to me feeling bad later. (Unless the meal in question is something gross, in which case I have no problems leaving it.)
Hopefully at least some good comes from this.
Now, I think I shall go nap for a while, or maybe just relax, and see if I feel up to going back for round three later.
I have a couple of friends who expressed interest in getting cheap burritos, too.
