I started going to what they call “Alternative Meals”. When you get on this diet you eat first. They call all of the Alternatives from every unit and then they start the rotation of the other units which revolves. The Alternative diet is a vegetarian one. But what I do is cheat. I go to the Alternative one when we are having something nasty like fish or liver.
I love fish, but not here. Liver not so much . One of the first sayings I ever heard in prison was, “fuck em and feed em fish”. This is how many inmates feel the administration running the prison feels about us. Sometimes the meal is the same like lasagna in which case I go with the Alternatives to go first.
The “Kosher” guys eat with us too. And they get even better stuff, but you must take a religious test to get on that gravy train. One thing I miss most about the world is good food. It’s a very close second place to women. I used to eat out almost everyday. When I didn’t it was because I ate cocaine instead. But I didn’t just eat at fast food joints. I usually ate at sit down places with good food. I don’t know how good it was for me, but it tasted good. So I’m used to good tasting food. However, at the moment I would kill for a McDonald’s hamburger. When I see food commercials on TV they literally make my stomach churn. The food looks so good and I want it so bad my gut aches horribly. The first thing I am eating when I get out is steak with shrimp and lobster.
I think about it every single day.
