Generally, the choice of places to eat on this trip has been driven by proximity to the place that I was staying, rather than any particular desire to eat something! Many of the hotels I stayed in were on the outskirts of town, so in these cases it was either eating at the hotel or strolling along the main road to a nearby stop. It is also worth noting that three weeks of eating in (American) restaurants means that I haven't had the healthiest of diets for the past few weeks!Having said that, there has been quite a bit of variety, from American to Thai to Mexican to Italian to buffets with a little of everything. In the New Mexico area Mexican food is (naturally) quite popular; this includes more spicy breakfast items as well as main meals.
On the drink front there have been some good ales to accompany my dinner along the way; during the day I have drunk a lot of Iced Tea given the heat. What appears to me to be a new trend is unsweetened iced tea, which (along with sweet tea) appears at fast food places like McDonald's and Subway. This is essentially just cold tea - no sugar or lemon added - and as such is quite refreshing (and not too unhealthy!)
I haven't eaten either of these; I just felt that pictures of objects made from sweets (as seen in Las Vegas) were the most appropriate I could find for this article!
