Seeing a 7-Eleven for the first time in nearly of month is.... well, a ¡7/11! And, having that first 7-Eleven be in Mexico is even more of a surprise. So three 7-Elevens within sight of each other provides endless opportunities. ¡Viva Mexico!
Leave it to 7-Eleven to create the Big Bite Chicken Finger - a miracle of hot dog craftsmanship. It is my belief that 7-Eleven is the only food purveyor with the ability to create chicken that looks the part, tastes the part, but is devoid of any chicken texture. Instead this Chicken Finger Big Bite has a uniform consistency not unlike... a hot dog, and it shouldn't be a surprise.
I topped mine with some fresh onions, and queso de la machina (nacho chesse sauce from the machine) and jalapenos. Condiment and toppings gave themselves to the cause of texture, but could not save the extremely mild flavor and lack of texture of the cylindrical meat.
Rounding out Numbero Tres was Quaker Stila con moras. For our loyal Stuff I Eat From 711 readers, it's a granola bar filled with blackberry jam. This is not a candy bar in a healthy, mid-30's wrapper. Inside the clean white wrapper with clear branding lies wholesome granola bonded together with a modest amount of sticky blackberry jam.
To wash it down, Clamato El Original. A traditional Mexican combination of jugo de tomate con camerón. Translation: Tomato juice with shrimp. I thought twice about drinking it, too, handling the bottle a few times before cracking the seal of the 473ml (16 ounce) glass container. Once opened, the taste and smell of tomato soup blended with a tin of bouillon cubes filled the air. This is a jem in a jar - the number one reason that Budweiser Chelada with Clamato, took top honors.
Rating confections, snacks, and prepared food from 7-Eleven is never any easy task. Just as eating the food is easier than scoring it, a meal does not not always equal the sum of it's parts.
Numero tres: 4/11
Big Bite Chicken Finger : 4/11
Clamato con Camerón: 7/11
Quaker Stila con Moras: 7/11
