British Cuisine
“British food has a lot of depth and flavor that is often overlooked.” — Jamie Oliver Lol. Ah, British cuisine. The butt of many jokes, the bane of many a traveler, and the source of endless misery. It’s time to set the record straight: British food is bad. As a self-proclaimed foodie who has spent years traveling the globe and indulging in all manner of culinary delights, I can confidently say that British food is, without a doubt, one of if not the worst . I mean, where do I even begin?

La Gatta Frettolosa Fa I Figli Ciechi (Haste Makes Waste)
Nothing good happens after midnight. Maybe. For me? Nothing good ever happens when I start to even think about Italy. I met my first boyfriend while visiting prospective colleges. It was a crisp, fall day and a girlfriend of mine begged and pleaded to be taken to the University of Rochester so that she could visit her boyfriend, a graduate of our High School (go Mustangs!). I knew she was preying on me because I was one of few in our senior class who had my own car. She argued I might want to attend the UR anyways so it would be a good opportunity to get an inside scoop on the campus. Valid point. To date, I had only had a few campus visits: Dartmouth, NYU, Clarkson, and RIT. I knew I would have to miss dance class to do so which, as a championship Irish Step Dancer, was risky.

The Chinese noodle dish whose name doesn't exist
A rhythmic thumping sound echoed through the restaurant-lined street in north-west China, emanating from multiple directions, their cadences briefly falling into sync before disbanding once again. I reflexively turned my head in the direction of the nearest thud to see a chef working in front of his shop, swinging a hefty rope of dough between his hands.

The Washington DC sauce drenched in debate
When one mentions Washington DC, to outsiders, a few predictable images come to mind: the White House; monuments and museums; endless bureaucracy; and the never-ending soap opera that is US politics.
