Trying new foods

[kidicarus13]

I'd be curious to try people meat once.

As long as the person was healthy and fit. Maybe someone who does yoga or pilates or crossfit.

Not some fat kid who just plays video games all day.

Fat is flavor

Sure, but if he is diabetic he will taste sweet and sour at the same time....

Not new food per say, but a wierd place and figured I'd mention it since others been mentioning specific restraunts.

Nicks cafe, tiny little hole in wall store front right off highway 6 on Simms. Inside is nothing but elvis stuff. Open like 5 am till 2pm, has both the best Reuben I've ever had as well as fairly authentic Gyro which is also probably best I ever had. Place has no website, cash only. Was nice a long first day on the new job and was treated very well, tried discounting me for being armed/uniformed even though not a cop. Gyro with the feta and fries like $8, Ruben was like 7 or 9. Breakfast was pretty good too. (H. Rancheros)

Couple doors down is a basic donut shop that doesnt have all the wierd stuff but some pretty legit old style donuts ran by a single older cooky guy. Also has Gyros but the more ordered from a factory kind meat, but plus side you can get it for breakfast. (Cheaper than Nicks, and I still like it, though Nicks is a must stop no matter what If Im working the area.)

Grew up near Nick's Cafe and have never been in there.

Jewel of India on Federal for lunch today.

Saw this post and it reminded me I've never been there, despite working just a couple of miles away so I went there for lunch yesterday. Everything I had was delicious, but I barely made it back to work in time for the explosion that occurred...

The wife and I are pretty adventurous eaters and have tried most everything. Two funny stories though.

Growing up in Santa Fe, I had a favorite food vendor that set up during Fiestas, Indian Market, Spanish Market and all the other events. This particular vendor made the best Navajo Tacos. Ate there constantly. One year they got busted. Turns out they'd been using horsemeat for years. Turns out, cook it with taco seasoning and smother it in chile, tastes just fine. I never had any complaints and would still eat there if they hadn't been closed down.

For my sister in-laws wedding, they wanted some exotic foods. One thing they ordered from a favorite place was some pork dumplings and some veggie dumplings (lotsa vegeterians at the wedding) I went to pick them up and the little Korean lady explained one box had the pork dumplings and the other box had the vegeterian dumplings, but she added a little pork for flavor.

So, did the vegetarians like the pork flavor?

Horse meat is actually good if and when one is able to acquire it.

Wife was with me. She blabbed to everyone. The veggie dumpling turned out to be pretty darn good. But the grass eaters were all warned.

Agreed.

Navajo tacos/fry bread are also awesome.
Horse meat Navajo tacos? Sign me up. Too bad that guy got busted otherwise I'd have to pay him a visit.
