Cravings that home cooking just doesn't fix
Tonight im2smrt4u and I went out for Chinese food. I had been craving it for awhile and I have tried to get my fix by making some at home. I make stir-fry and fried rice often but the craving just wouldn't go away.
As we were leaving the restaurant we were discussing the fact that while I can cook rather well, my home cooking of said food just didn't fulfill my craving.
So are there any foods that you simply must eat somewhere else to get the fix? Whether it be a relative, a specific restaurant, dive or etc. What is the reason that cooking it yourself just doesn't cut it? This goes beyond "I don't feel like cooking", this has to be something that you know you can make but you still can't shake the need for the food.
For me there is just something about Chinese food that must be prepared elsewhere. And it can't be from just anywhere, it has to be good. Maybe it is because they can get the wok super heated, the way it should be done. Or maybe, as smrt so sarcastically pointed out, it is all the MSG they use.
