We were hoping to eat Afghan food for March, but the month closed before we were prepared. Instead of potentially delectable Afghan food, we ended up in the UTC food court looking at fairly Americanized Doner Kebab courtesy of Kebab Cafe. Technically, I've eaten Doner Kebab before. However, I was in Germany, a teenager, and a vegetarian. This Doner Kebab was nothing like what I remember. I remember a saucy, cabbagey goodness. Don't get me wrong, this was good, but it was more like Greek Gyros in a slightly different bread. And, the cabbage was suspiciously missing. Oh, and there was the fact that this Doner had meat in it. That fact is how I justified Doner Kebab as a new food. The gyro flavored Doner made me doubt the validity of this month's new food. However, a scarcity of remaining days in March made me accept Jen's assertion that Doner counts. The final verdict: worth eating as long as you avoid the dirt-flavored hummus.
And.... we are having a hard time finding foods that I have not eaten. It turns out, I've been and adventurous eater for years now. We are revising the B.L.L. to include eating at new, local restaurants or eating a new food once a month.
