Staying Home Tonight, Acts I & II

My skin hurts. Sick buggers everywhere and I've been working long hours and drinking heavily-- These things are bound to take a toll.

Let's eat some fish.

ACT I

Latvian smoked sprats in vegetable oil. Pretty, pretty, little fish.

10 of them in a round can with a simple black label. I very much wanted to love these. Everything about them speaks to me.

They are not good. Funny, grainy texture. Overbearingly smoky/salty.
Probably okay if you're sitting in some funky pub in Riga, drinking Bauskas gaišais while the world collapses around you.

I had a couple of cans of Taiwan beer and some crackers and was not stoked.

Did I mention that my skin hurts?

ACT II

Still famished and a bit shaky, I dived into these Tomes.

Portuguese. High quality fillets with lemony oil. The opposite end of the spectrum from the smoky gut-bomb of a few minutes before.

Allright.

i hate it when the visual beauty doesn't match the taste.

The Taiwan beer is hilarious. So "Generic" looking.

I'm guessing cheap as fuck and you drink it at room temp.
