USA 9B - Fry Bread

Well...how do you follow such a great HOS post??? With mine!!!

Now HOS mentioned something called Fry Bread (see previous post). I kinda liked it. In fact, I kinda loved it.

We first had Fry Bread at Cameron, the place HOS had his first Chili. I had ordered a Navajo Taco, and instead of using crispy taco shells, it came on a piece of this Fry Bread. And HOS's chili was accompanied with it too. It's the round flat thing you can see in his pics.

When she put it down we had no idea what it was. Then we tasted it. And OHHHH MYYYY. It was delicious - light, a bit doughy, and so so crispy on the outside. I was very very excited about it. I called over our waitress, who was native american, and asked her all about it.

Fry Bread is a local specialty of the area, it's made with flour, baking powder, water and shortening. It's kneaded into little balls, flattened out, a whole punched in the middle, then deep fried very quickly. IT WAS SOOOOOOOO YUM. My food was good, but the highlight was the Fry Bread.

I noticed HOS's came with honey, which was interesting because I said to HOS that this would be wonderful rolled in sugar and cinnamon. So honey was poured on bloody hell, it was spectacularly good. We had Fry Bread again today, but it wasn't near as good as yesterday's - but they did have sugar, cinnamon and honey at the ready!!! NICE!!!

Now, I'm not going to bore you with the same pics as HOS used - if you want to see the Fry Bread go back and have a look there. Instead, I'm going to bore you with envy shots of the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley. I think yesterday was one of the most visually beautiful days of my life. Arizona is incredibly beautiful, in fact, I'm discovering this country has some truly truly amazing beauty.
