Foods I Miss After a Year of COVID-19

It's been over a year of lockdown more or less (most of the time it's been "you can go out and businesses can be open with some restrictions"). I've gotten Zachary's a few times, KFC a lot, and Jeffrey's Hamburgers once. I used to have a somewhat varied lunch from the company cafeterias and would get take out or dine in once a week or more.

After three weeks of lockdown I wrote that I missed:

  • Fried chicken and mashed potatoes
  • Hamburger and french fries
  • Peruvian food
  • Ice cream, especially Cold Stone
  • Starbucks/Peets mocha coffee
  • Chinese food? Not yet. Never been really into Asian foods.
  • Pizza? I did order it last weekend but in general I'm not that into pizza. It's just easy to get it delivered.

That was hard lockdown. Since then I've gotten enough KFC to be satisfied and have gotten a fair amount of frozen ice cream. I do miss my dad's home cooking or Peruvian food from any restaurant. Chinese food I still don't really miss. I've had cravings for fish and chips but I'm not sure if there are any around (I drove by one when I was doing a late night drive a few week ago but not sure where it was and couldn't find it on Apple Maps).

I guess after a year I'm not craving restaurant foods as much.
