I usually can’t remember something I ate more than seven years ago (unless it made me throw up or something). But I still remember that burrito wrapped in tinfoil. A Hare Krishna handed it to me on the Ave back when I was in college. “For you,” was all he said, silently waving away my offers to give it back. He went back to chanting.

“I wouldn’t eat that,” my friend warned me. Well, the Hare Krishna didn’t give it to him. I unwrapped the foil.

Wow.

It was really good: rice, potatoes, curry, ghee.
