The Whole Enchilada - FFF - Round 40
You ready for some monkey business? No problem. How about a spin on porn? Piece o’ birthday suit cake, there’s a spin on porn in this contender too. I saw a dental office, inside a restaurant, right next to the dessert bar where they serve drinks—that was a first. We had another unexpected lunch guest, too, remember Ulg? This Ulg’s name was Footy—a cool little brendal, mutt dog who likes belly rubs but doesn’t care much for bread and vegetables. And some other stuff, I’ll just pile it all on the same plate, thanks for another opportunity, @foodfightfriday! 40 weeks fellas, @jlsplatts, @weirdheadahces, well done gentlemen. 👍🏿
We left Golfito Bay on Monday—the sauna we just stayed at for thirty days. Eventually we’ll be in Playas Del Coco on the Pacific coast for a month but we have a couple of weeks to kill so we’re taking our time. On our way north, we stopped and had lunch at:
Sibu is a cool little spot with good #food off Route 34—Costanera Sur (south coast), in Uvita, Costa Rica. I’m piggy-backing #fff to practice using the GoPro—taking pictures with it, transferring them, etc. on this contender and I thought it would be a good idea to show you how still the grass looks on the side of Costanera Sur at 90kmh with this thing—check it out, you can see the pebbles in the asphalt:
I had the vegetable sandwich on ciabatta bread. It came with carrots, eggplant, pickles, onions, a bunch of other stuff, all kinds of vegetables. When you order a vegetable sandwich, wrap, bowl, etc, pretty much anywhere you go, they throw in a lot of every vegetable they have. I’m always so concerned everyone understands I can’t have aguacate I forgot to say no cheese—Footy loves cheese! I got a side of yuca fries, if you don’t know what yuca fries are, change that, muy rapido! Yuca fries are delicioso.
This is Footy I was telling you about, she’ll
make you pick up the vegetables and bread from the ground you tried feeding her but not the cheese—she loves cheese. Say cheese, Footy!
That’s the only smile I got from her, she posed long enough for that picture and got comfortable on Pura Vida’s feet:
You’re not skimming this are you, @plantstoplanks? I barely skimmed yours at all. 😉 Great to see you again, chef, you think Footy can get in on the #TDIF tag? Is that cool, Miss @foxyspirit? Don’t do it, @janton, you’re such a skimmer! @birdsinparadise isn’t a skimmer, she’s a gangster! @cicisaja doesn’t hold back, “30 minutes read is too long 😂” so she keeps her contenders under five minutes. Janton, while I got you here, thanks for always mentioning #busy. I’m using https://busy.org to post and #partiko to comment because I haven’t been able to do anything on #steemit since Wednesday. 🤔 I can’t post, comment, nothing—is anyone else getting this error message?
The Whole Enchilada has tech questions and shout outs in it too. Inside Sibu, the restaurant where Footy hung out with us during the creation of this food fight contender, remember? ...is a bar that serves beer and:
Nothing abnormal about a restaurant with a bar. Even a big cocktail menu like that isn’t weird—this dessert case at the end of the bar isn’t weird either:
But... at the other end of the bar, the end where the coffee pot is, there’s a dental office. You have to walk through the restaurant to get to it—Clinica Dental Uvita:
After lunch, we continued North West toward our current location:
Jaco is the most developed coastal city we’ve been to, the strip malls here look just like any you’d see in California. If you click on that link you’ll read about the pacific coast and how Jacó has great surfing. What you won’t read about is how many tattoo shops, uhm... ‘working girls’ and massage parlors this city has—a lot! Jaco is a single lane town with one stretch of commercial road that extends about two miles, I bet there’s 15 massage joints on it and even more tattoo shops—I’ll do a post on it. No, that isn’t the spin on porn.
We hung out on a few different beaches for a little while and listened to the ocean on our way here. The coast is gorgeous, it’s tough to take a bad picture.
If you don’t stop along the way sometimes and give yourself enough time to breathe and look around, you might miss something.
Those are white faced monkeys. They were playing in the trees on the opposite side of the ocean—here, I’ll zoom in:
I don’t have to zoom in on this next one—you can see this little guy in the middle of the picture:
Here’s one more—eating the cracker it took from my hand.
And this last picture is that spin I was telling you about. Yeah, I know, don’t worry, I know! Yeah, yeah, yeah... It’s just me—got it! My web browser is the only one that goes to Panini when I type “P.”
Same place next week, deal? Stop by Discord and embarass yourself with us, @jlsplatts does it all the time, @sparkesy43 knows. Happy @foodfightfriday ya’all! I’m continuing The Whole Enchilada theme with my signature tonight, just thought I’d tell you—have a great weekend!
White faced Monkeys along the road...nope I wasn't skimming! I want to read every last word of your adventures, complete with Burrito Hub, hmmm Looks like Footy wants to become your latest amigo...not into dairy and veggies oh well, that's just more for you. Love your adventure, keep sharing I'll just live vicariously through you two amazing peeps! Looks like you're finding amazing food :)
This is such a nice response, thank you! And congratulations on your curie feature. How awesome is that??
Took a cracker out of my hand, crazy huh? One of them jumped on Puras shoulder, I took the picture but it jumped at the exact same time—she doesn’t want me showing that one. 👍🏿 Wild.. a frikkin monkey that we saw in the side of the road sat on her shoulder.
For the amount of street dogs there is around here, I’ve never seen one that wasn’t perfectly content. They all have buddies, nine are skinny, everyone is cool with them. I’ll let you know when we meet another one.
Thanks for stopping by @birdsinparadise.

Hey right on, I’m glad you liked it! Thanks for always supporting food fight Friday. 😉
Thanks for stopping by, @wonderwop.
@dandays, that sandwich looks awesome. My husband was looking over my shoulder as I was reviewing the fff post, he saw that sandwich, now I have to make him one. Thanks a lot @dandays.
And the sandwich was actually a really nice looking sandwich, decorated, packed, the whole 9. It wasn’t until I put this article together I realized it came out too dark to use a cover image—danget! Your husband’s a lucky man.
Thanks for stopping by, @paleotwist. It’s always a pleasure hearing from you. See you back here in a few days. 😉
Your Food Fight Friday Contender has been entered into Round 40
May your contender make it out alive and not be placed in a permanent food coma!
Good Luck
Hello dandays .. how are you? It seems like very fun to travel like you. Do you live always moving, friend? I love spoiled dog footy. ... It is very sweet ... I also like the food you post that seems very delicious. .then there was no leaves on the plants behind the monkeys. But I see plants with little leaves here. Has it entered the
autum friend?. The beach is the most beautiful atmosphere we can enjoy. Hmm ... amazing .. Enjoy your day my friend.
This is such a nice comment—thank you! I’m doing well, thanks! How are you? I hope you’re having a nice weekend.
Yes, we are always moving around, even as a kid I was always moving. To this day, I don’t like staying in one place very long. 1 year is typically my max. Right now, my wife and I are moving every 30 days—it’s exciting.
I’m such a dog lover. iheart dogs—“guilty.” We are #blessed to enjoy so many good meals. I’d love to share a table with you in your culture, what an experience that would be.
There isn’t really an autumn here, there’s a rainy season and a dry season. You’re right, the country is just coming out of the dry season and it’s starting to rain. The leaves should be back in a few more months. 😉
Thank you for stopping by, @elianaelisma, I always appreciate you responses.

Thank you @helpiecake! You’re the best, @foxyspirit!
Just for that smart alec skimming comment I figured I'd make you wait for a comment on your post until today. 😜 I actually did read yours and @puravidaville's posts yesterday, but I was out of energy after getting everything ready for my nutrition event today. Had to save up some of my greatness to give the people what they paid for. It went really well, so totally worth it.
I totally dig Footy. What's better than a companion chilling at your feet? Though I don't want to be around when that cheese comes out the other side...💨
That sandwich looks so darn good right now (sans Footy's cheese). Thank goodness @dksart is about to go snag us some Mediterranean food to share with friends. It's a back porch and chill kind of night here in Atlanta. 😉
Isn’t all Mediterranean food just falafel? 😉 And Syria tends to have the edge over Israelis, right? Great to see you again, chef, I was totally kidding about the skimming thing. 👍🏿
Footy didn’t even want the bread, what dog doesn’t like oil soaked, pesto spread bread?? “Footy.”
I saw how busy you are, didn’t even have time to wait in the car, tou times it just right to get in a mile each way, way to set an example.
Thanks for stopping by, @plantstoplanks. I’m still trying to get used to this #busy—I’ve posted to myself four times now and some other crying but I’ll save it for later. Wa!
Speaking of trying to get familiar with using busy, check it out.. you ever heard of someone downvoting theirself?!
😂😂😂 I accidentally flagged someone once just because I was on my phone and my finger hit right on the flag instead of scrolling down. I freaked out even after realizing I could take it back.

haha! Howdy sir dandays! hey some posts need to be skimmed through. I still don't do it but some deserve it! Lots of cool shots on this one! I'm surprised Footy isn't as big as a house. Never saw a dental office inside a restaurant! lol. I like the looks of their desert selection though, that's the only thing that didn't look foreign to me.
Those monkey shots are great too, oh and the ocean shots! This is just a cool post!
My man! Eh, good morning sir, happy Friday! Janton, did you see Bitcoin this morning?? 55.1% dominance right now and it’s creeping up on 58 hundred—that’s a pretty big move this week. It had 53% dominance less than 2 days ago. It’s lookin good this morning. 👍🏿
I’m glad you enjoy my food fight contenders, I have a lot of fun putting them together, it’s my favorite Friday of the week. :time out: I just had deja vu, Janton, can you explain that?! True story. Just now with the first sentence of this paragraph, “I’m glad you enjoyed...” yup, deja vu right there—crazy! :time in:
Can you believe a Wild frikkin monkey came up to me and took that cracker out of my hand?! Nuts!! Eh, then it jumped on Pura’s head—true story! ON HER HEAD! I snapped a picture of if but it just leaped and knocked her glasses all sideways, causing a weird look, I’m not allowed to show ya’all that one. 👍🏿 Happy Friday my virtual friend, you know what that means! My favorite Friday of the week is back.
Thanks for stopping by, @janton! I’m going to your blog next.
Howdy sir dandays! I'm happy for you because it's Friday. lol. Hey can you explain the "dominance" thing and Bitcoin? I don't know what any of that means and haven't been following much of it. all I know is that all altcoins follow Bitcoin's lead, pretty much.
Oh, and yes that monkey thing was totally freaky, I loved that and you did a great job on those photos where you brought them up close!
the important thing is to keep on being enthusiastic, this is amazing, a photo of a very good meal
I’m glad you liked it, sir! I hope you’re having a great weekend—thanks for continuing to support food fight Friday.
Thanks for stopping by, @ustazkarim.
I seem to remember a friendly lunch guest from one of your previous posts; I hope you enjoyed Footy joining you.
How’s it going angryman? I dig the heck out of your handle, that’s great! There’s a lot of street dogs in this country, they’re everywhere. I’m such a sissy for dogs, I’m always the guy trying to feed them and rub their ears. 👍🏿
Thanks for stopping by, @angryman.
There's a lot of 'street dogs' in 'all' somewhat 'less' prosperous Countries where 'Dogs' are 'not' on the 'menu'... :>( or where there are not a lot of Animal Welfare organizations involved in helping homeless pets.
Personally, I happen to love most animals, especially common 'pet' type creatures, and my heart goes out to any suffering, in 'any' manner.
