| A great ethnic restaurant with great ehnic food is La Luna's a Lebanese restaurant. Lebanese food is fantastic. They are usually known for their donairs: kind of like gyros instead of yogurt sauce they use a honey sauce. They also have the best tabouli. Tabouli is made with bulgar wheat, parsley, onions, tomatoes, lemon, mint, salt and pepper to taste. Some people make it with mostly wheat which makes it like a vegetable oatmeal, others make it with mostly parsley. This is my favourite style. And I like it heavy on the lemon. The Lebanese use a lot of rice and potatoes, similar to Indian food, but it's not quite as spicy. It's very close to Greek food. Now we are looking for a Turkish restaurant. Apparently Turkish food is very good, too. I forgot to put on my list the other day one of my top ethnic food groups is Greek. I know I was forgetting a favourite.
My least favourite food would be Scottish food. I have eaten a bridie: it's a meat turnover, deep fried in lard. I kept it down for about ten minutes when I tossed it up in a nearby trash can. I never attempted to eat Haggis. Which is anything but the "baa" but mostly sheep's brains, stirred in oatmeal and deep fried in a pastry. This same Celtic festival where I ate the Bridie was conducting a "Haggis tossing" contest. I always wondered if they meant, tossing from the hands or the stomach. Steak and kidney pie is also damn awful. So is Yorkshire pudding. Yorkshire pudding is pastry deep fried in lard. I can understand why ethnic restaurants took off in England. For real harfing action: Drink a Guinness and eat steak and kidney pie. The worst American foods I have ever eaten: Pickled eggs. I can't go near those things. Hawaiian pizza. Yuck. I can't stand pineapple on my pizza. I can eat anchovies on my pizza before I can eat pineapple. Nor shrimp. Elephants ears, the kind they serve at fairs. Blecch.
Anybody eaten some really disgusting stuff? |
