Last Supper

I had my last supper last night. The American meal I feasted on was from Bub's Barbecue in Sunderland, Massachusetts. Bub's slogan is "Pig out in Style" and pig out we did. My dinner consisted of barbecued spare ribs, grilled corn on the cob, baked beans, collard greens cooked in ham hocks, french fries, cole slaw, spiced potatoes, sweet potato puree, and dirty rice all washed down with a couple of glasses of beer. I topped off this final gastronomic delight with the newest of the all American desserts: a deep fried twinkie covered with whipped cream and strawberry sauce washed down with yet more beer. I felt bloated and tired after my high fat, high sugar meal and the bottom of my esophagus felt like someone had placed a hot branding iron on it. I went home and couldn't fall asleep. This is a way of eating I have been accustomed to in my past although not so much recently. It is not the high road to health.
