We were going to have awesome takeout fried chicken for dinner but the takeout joint was closed. :( :( :(
Instead, though, we are having takeout Balkan food. There’s this sweet little joint just down the road called Balkan Dining, and the proprietors are apparently Serbian, though they insist it doesn’t matter. And the food is so good. It’s so good!
My favorite thing is a thing I can’t pronounce, and they love making people try to say it. Pljesk– uhh… Pljeskavice? Something like that? Ah. Pljeskavice.
You guys it’s so good.
Buffalo has a really good food game. And for whatever reason, in the last couple of years, we’ve gotten a lot of new immigrant communities with awesome food. We have a huge new concentration of Burmese refugees, and suddenly there are like five places to get Abyssinian cuisine, and for whatever reason we’ve got a bangin’ Korean food scene, and I don’t know why but there are out of nowhere like fifteen different kind of fast-food Chinese restaurants, the good kind with a menu that’s not all the way translated and has a lot of stuff on it that the staff will gently steer you away from if you’re white (are you sure? it’s the parts of chickens your people don’t usually eat. well, yes it’s good, of course it is or we wouldn’t cook it. okay, if you insist, don’t complain if you don’t like it), and I actually think it has something to do with the fact that as a border town we have a big government immigration department? I don’t know, but I love it.
Because people eat good food everywhere, when they can afford to, and food is cheap as hell in the US so it doesn’t take much to be able to afford to eat good food.
Anyway, I’m currently puzzling over what drinks to make to accompany pljeskavice. Google, take me away!
