No.
Would I order those fried plantains again and again and again?
Yes. Most definitely.
From this experience I learned about trying new combinations for food. You can't see it very well, but the plantain came with sides of re-fried beans and sour cream, which seemed odd and kind of gross, but actually tasted very good. I also learned I don't like tomato paste on my steak. This seems to say that maybe I've grown up with a very limited view on what I want and expect from my steak, and that generally means I want steak I can smother in A1. If I have changed at all, it was to find the courage to, next time, ask the waitress what a menu item is before I order it.
Please tell me you squirted the lime all over your food. Gives it a unique flavor. Tastes so good.
ReplyDeletePlantains are like bananas, right? That sounds really interesting!
ReplyDeleteI have never even heard of plantains before... What ever they are they sound very interesting. You are brave to order something off a menu that you don't understand. That simply terrifies me.
ReplyDeleteI love how you ordered something you had no idea what it would be, good one!
ReplyDeleteSalvadorian food, huh? Very nice. I'll have to check it out, that sounds dang good. I love how you ordered something without even understanding the language. That would be really hard for me to try.
ReplyDeleteI think it is really interesting how you said, "From this experience I learned about trying new combinations for food". It is so true! Sometimes the actual combination of food is what matters.
ReplyDeleteI think sometimes it can be super nerve-racking/exciting once we've ordered something in a different language. I always wonder if i've just wasted my money or whether it'll be the best experience ever.
