Even though Earth Day was on April 22, Winston-Salem celebrated it a bit early last Saturday at Wake Forest. I helped out at the Slow Food booth but not before I went around to check out what food was being offered.
Let me just say, local food rocks.
First, Meridian Restaurant served up the Egyptian national dish, kushari. A blend of rice, lentils, chickpeas and macaroni, this simple dish totally hit the spot. I love northern Africa and all of its cuisine that I've tried and kushari is no different. I've only been to Morrocco and Tunisia but Egypt is definitely on my "to-do" list (right after Singapore & the Maldives)

Bread from Grateful Bread (hahaha) in High Point.

These ladies were so willing to pose. And willing to give me (multiple) samples of fried cauliflower with tomato chutney. Thank you!

Deep-fried cauliflower. Mmmm.
