I was away in the US for a month and ate many interesting things. Here are some of them.
"Broccoli? You took a picture of broccoli?" asked my cousin, with an incredulous smile on her face. "That's broccoli rabe, not broccoli," I replied. Eating that cluster of buds/flower was exactly like 'eating' mustard oil. I started on a second one but it proved too much for me - fumes entered my nose and I had to give up.
That's my breakfast everyday. In the US, my aunt made it exotic by adding herbs from her garden - dill and chives.
We went to a cafe at Brooklyn, and I am glad I went for this berry strudel.

Dinner one night at my aunt's place - ravioli, cauliflower saute and mushrooms and snow peas sauteed together
Dinner at a Boston food court - Macaroni and cheese
Wonder what's Ramayana about it - at a Thai restaurant in Boston's Newbury Street
Our starters at the restaurant. They weren't very different from the Thai restaurants here in India.
Prawn curry - I don't remember the style of gravy, it was in Thai
Chicken curry at the same restaurant
From Boston, we drove to Newport, Rhode Island before returning to New York. This was displayed at a small shopping/restaurant complex where we went for lunch. I'm pretty sure it was artificial but I didn't touch it, just in case.
Garlic toast and white bean hummus at the Newport bar where we ordered lunch - really tasty!
Clam chowder
BLT burrito with coleslaw - I hadn't imagined it would be so big. I ended up eating the filling and discarding the burrito!
