We all know that food matters
when we travel. We sometime wish not for
the new treats we discover but for some food from home.
Olympic athletes don’t have
to worry. Whether they want udon
noodles, porridge or pepperoni pizza they can find it in the dining halls. An ABC article estimates that there will be
2,000 unique dishes served.
Looking for a taste of the host country? Visitors can try borscht the traditional soup
made of potatoes, beef and beets. It’s
predicted that 70,000 gallons will be served.
Even with the variety of foods available, including
Big Macs from two 24 hour McDonalds, one thing most people won’t be able to
find is a Starbuck’s Latte – or any other drink served in a cup with the green
mermaid on it. That is unless you can
get into the NBC Broadcasting Center. If
you can enter you’ll find a hidden, private Starbucks serving everything except
plain coffee.
Want a cup of black
coffee – head to McDonald’s an official Olympics sponsor (which Starbucks is not) allowed to serve food
and beverage.
The existence of the
not-too-secret Starbucks was revealed in an article in the February
15-16, Wall Street Journal. “It’s good
for morale” someone from NBC
stated. Food and now we can, drinks,
from home are a special treat when you’re far away.
