the newer, industrial strength roach coach is a mini-restaurant on wheels that is mounted on a truck chassis and is about the size of a UPS truck. Typical coaches have sides that open up to reveal varions snack and beverage items, in addition to an order window where the smiling Hispanic gentleman and his wife/sister or other female cook take and fill orders. Previously confined to construction sites and garages, now the roach coach prowls office parks offering secretaries a fried breakfast and lunch. The call of the wild roach coach is an obnoxious semi-musical horn that calls the willing sheep to be sheared and then fattened up on grease-laden fare.
I 'ate' at the roach coach yesterday and had the trots all night.
When people bring in roach coach food, you can smell the grease all over the building.
Roach coach cooking is the opposite of good food.

My ancestors lived in the Lodz shtetl. My wife's ancestors were Litwaks and Galicianers, although every family had some Cossack or Tartar DNA.
We cooked a great brisket in the shtetl, and a pretty good borscht, too. You could hear the violins every night.
Your neighbors know everything about you and your entire family and lineage in the shtetl.
Many find a bizarre comfort in the shtetl, at once claustrophobic and comforting, as opposed to the terrifying life outside the walls.
When you go to an event at the shtetl, you can get a free lucky number pogrom, but the prizes aren't what you would expect.

We went on holiday for three weeks through the Midlands canals in our narrow boat and hit every pub along the way. Ian only beached it twice and Catherine was quite accommodating to help relaunch.
My mate moors his narrow boat in France and keeps a bicycle on board for jaunts through the countryside. He has logged over 10,000 km in the last three years.
