Last night I went to a Slow Food dinner on campus. This is a dinner put on by a nonprofit organization, using local and organic food to cook meals from scratch. They do this every Monday night during the school year for $5. You can hardly get a fast food meal for that, never mind a delicious multi-course dinner made from real food. This is the second one I’ve been to, and I’ll describe the meal to give you some idea:
Salad – this was heirloom tomatoes, ground cherries, and
cashews with cilantro and shredded raw beets on top of it. It looked beautiful
and tasted amazing... and I usually hate raw tomatoes!
Main course – noodle bowl with either crispy pork or tofu.
You put it together yourself, choosing how many noodles and what toppings you
wanted on it.
Dessert – seaberry ice cream, or several other choices
(vanilla custard, cookies and cream ice cream, or frozen coconut milk). It was
a pale orange color with a delicate flavor somewhat like passionfruit. The
coconut milk was flavored with lemongrass and green chili and was also
delicious. I split dessert with a coworker so we could try two.
Let me know if you have any interest in attending a Slow
Food dinner in the future.
