Tonight I went to a street festival called Taste of Chicago in which 60 local restaurants set up booths and feed 3,000,000 (!) Chicagoans over the course of a week-and-a-half.

I hereby offer you a comprehensive list of everything I ate:

-Corn on the Cob (with vinegar and salt…think I put too much salt on…)

-Sweet Potato Pie (tasted suspiciously like pumpkin pie)

-Plantain in Peanut Sauce (as good as it sounds)

-Goat (like beef, but tougher)

-Fly (not on purpose; flew in my mouth)

-Shrimp Sandwich (well, I was told there was shrimp on there)

-Tomato Soup (it was cold, which was fine, only I was expecting hot soup, so the first bite jarred me)

-“Sweet & Mild” Chicken Wings (“Sweet, Mild, & Bland would be more accurate)

-Watermelon Slice (pretty standard; hard to mess that one up)

-Baklava (equally difficult to mess up)

So how many calories do you think I consumed?
