Culture shock
Culture shock manifests itself in many different ways. One of those ways is absolute confusion. I experienced this last week at a popular chain restaurant in Ecuador called Tejas Pollo. For those spanish scholars following, this means Texas chicken. I am curious if this is a restaurant in Texas. I am also curious what qualifies their chicken as Texas chicken. Does it come from Texas? That seems like it would be very inefficient. I ordered my chicken meal and was astounded when I looked at my tray and found two uni-sex plastic gloves. My first understanding was that a worker obviously got confused and placed his gloves on my tray. I thought this until I saw other happy customers of The Texas Chicken contentedly gnawing away on their respective poultry whilst sporting the fashionable protective devices. Strange no?

I know that when hot peppers are around people wear gloves...but it does not seem that there were any jalepenos.
ReplyDeleteI will tell Grandma Bev about this place, seems up her alley with the gloves! :)
