Taste of Buffalo

· · 🌡️ 76°F

I went to the taste of Buffalo with @matthew and @terry . We also took our neighbor Katie. It was pretty crowded for later evening. The niagara square area is pretty spacious but the part of deleware was crowded beyond Main Street levels. I wonder what the future holds for the event.

For about $20 I had 7 crawfish, coconut crusted shrimp with mango sauce, two lamb sticks (one piece from rack of lamb), jerk chicken, rice, yummy tortellini from Pearl Street Brewery, and a Sicilian rice ball. I realy liked the Sicilian rice ball. It was kind of like a ball of risotto, battered and fried with tomato sauce. I was also very yummy. Here is a recipe for it. It is also known as Arancini. I never had them before. Although I am 1/4 Sicilian, my nonna never cooked so we ate mostly venetian food with an occasional Sicilian treat my grandmother learned to cook in America from other Sicilians on the west side. I really think my mom would like this one.

I can't believe how many people waited in line to be advertised by crest and dove soap. Did any of you get any of that free crap.

So I ate and I also worked out today. SoonI will be buff, at that point I will start beating people up for fun, so watch out - lol.

    I Didn't wait it either of those lines but I was handed some dove soap so I took it and I do plan on trying it. I got into the Hagan Das line that was cool and free and good. I think the Niagara Square Idea was good. But Moving it to Delaware was a bad Idea. The street is to narrow then you have the booths. What they should have done is either pushed the booths back onto the sidewalk or had booths on the other side of the circle. I can't think of the street name that leads from Niagara square to Where they have thursday in the square. But since one block was blocked off they should have had some of the delaware places up there and it would have made walking on delaware more possible.
