I have a friend I occasionally go out to dinner with. It’s sort of become “Adventures in Dining.” As with any large metropolitan area, we have a variety of different ethnic cuisines to choose from. Last night we dined on Middle Eastern food.
I have to admit I’ve not always been very adventuresome when it comes to food. I was a very picky eater as a kid. It wasn’t until I started working in restaurants that I truly expanded my limited palette.
So back to last night’s dinner……It started out with a small plate of neon pink cabbage. It was very pretty, but didn’t look like anything I had ever seen. My friend is a chef and VERY adventuresome eater, so he always gets to be the lead guinea pig.
He said the cabbage tasted like it had vinaigrette on it. Kind of like cole slaw….and as with a lot of different cuisines, there was lot of bread involved. (For which I was thankful) Not bad.
We ordered a variety platter…it was huge! A little bit of salad stuff at the bottom, a couple different types of chicken, (I’m good with that) some lamb skewers, some beef (I think) and some mystery meat on a skewer, however I won’t mention what it looked like. (I may be more daring than I once was, but I still can’t bring myself to eat mystery meat)
All in all, we finished a good portion of it…my friend took the remaining food in a to go box. My test for how well I enjoyed it, is, would I go back again? Only if someone else REALLY wanted to.
The time before we had sushi. My taste in food runs more toward the well done side, but I figured I couldn’t make a statement about sushi, until I tried it. So I did. And then I went home and had some pizza. That’s my statement.
