I can’t tell you, precisely, but I know it has one location, is authentically itself, and is what some might describe as a dive. Interestingly, you can find it anywhere in the world if you know where to look.

PROMPT: 5 Everyday Things
A breath of air when I’m suffocating.
A drink of water when I’m thirsty.
A bit of bread when I’m hungry.
Sleep when I’m weary.
Company when I’m lonely.
PROMPT: Couldn’t Live Without
Digestible non-toxic protein, digestible non-toxic fats, and digestible non-toxic carbohydrates.
Also, water and air, but they are non-commoditized (to a large extent, anyhow.)
Also, certain vitamins and minerals, but they would be subsumed in a good mix of the aforementioned three.
PROMPT: Budgeting
First, use what you’ve got to put food in your face. If there’s left over, acquire suitable shelter. If there’s some left, buy a book.
PROMPT: Candy
Chocolate covered nut.
PROMPT: Snack
Fried crickets.
PROMPT: Grocery Store Items
1.) carrots; 2.) bread; 3.) peppers; 4.) onions; 5.) rice
Don’t know whether this is supposed to be by weight, value, volume, or frequency of purchase. Each would yield a different response.
PROMPT: Eating Meat
I have no strong feelings. Everything that lives becomes food, so I don’t see a sound moral argument against meat. There is certainly a nutritional argument against eating excessive quantities of meat (which I would grant many meat-eaters do) but this is not an argument for dropping meat altogether. I accept that there is a reasonable environmental argument, but — counterpoint — it’s delicious.
I see no argument at all against choosing to eat vegetarian or vegan, so I certainly wouldn’t try to talk anyone out of their decision to do so. (i.e. The “you can’t get enough protein” argument is bullshit.)
PROMPT: 3 Favorite Meals
Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. (Chronologically, not in order of preference.)
Paper masala dosa for breakfast; Thai red curry for lunch; mixed fruit for dinner.
PROMPT: Specialty
What food would you say is your specialty?
I make a mean pot of steamed rice.
