A tour of food!

Last Wednesday was my last English Lesson with my Public students (*tear*) They decided to take the grammar teacher, Mirka, and me out for dinner and drinks! I of course was not going to say no. Therefore, you get another food foto frenzy! (I know it's spelled "photo", but the triple-f action was just too difficult to resist). Here are some of the dishes that I have been introduced to recently:



My friend Jana ordered this. It was potatoes, vegetables, and a fried egg on top. It looked delicious, but I didn't ask her for a bite. She tried Hoegaarden for the first time that day. She liked it!



This is what is called a "Thieves Pocket", and it is one of the specialties made at Bastion Pub. Mirka ordered this one. It is like a pirohy, but only folded over rather than wrapped. It had LOTS of good stuff in there. She shared with me :).



Now THIS is what I got to eat!!! RIBS BABY! I was a little bit nervous, because the last time our group ordered ribs at a restaurant, it was not too pleasant (aka: charred with minimal meat, and no sauce) These were actually pretty good! Very tender, and the sauce, though minimal, was a nice honey glaze. I ate all of them...I couldn't help myself! I did share with Mirka and Peter though, because I could tell they were interested.

This next one is a house-made pita (that the chef gave to us on the house!) with 2 different sauces. One was a "harissa", or spicy bell pepper, and the other was a "picadillo", or a mixed veggie salsa. Both were delicious. So delicious, that I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the food! My Swedish friend Anki and I decided to go out to dinner before the Sweden-Greece game yesterday. We found this great tapas restaurant called Rambla on Michalska with outdoor seating. We had proscuitto with melon, spicy shrimp skewers, roasted potatos with a spicy tomato sauce, and spinach with raisins and pine nuts. Very satisfying.




That ends our food foto frenzy for today. More to come!
