. (e:samathon1986) convinced us to go check out the delicious food. I tried to invite (e:tinypliny) but she was to busy and thought it would be too meaty so we brought one of our other vegetarian girlfriends, (e:holly), and she loved it.
(e:tinypliny) tried to scare me off with a text message:
gender-separated prayer areas! Is this for real?
I have to admit I was weirded out by that statement on their website but actually the place was awesome and had a lot of vegetarian options at the buffet. However there is no alcohol - which was fine for me.
The best part was the goat, the okra dish and the peach jelly. I love goat but barely anywhere serves it. I would totally go back.
In Terms of separate places to Pray that makes sense .....
.....Assuming it is run by Muslims or in the Muslim way....
I saw some documentary and they where in a masque and the men and women prey separately .... Now one can think what they want about that but one of the claims is that the women don't distract the men and vise versa ... It also seemed like the women enjoyed it....
The Point is that if people prey with only their own gender it makes sense that those same traditions, Practices and beliefs would take place at where one eats... I don't understand how Kosher works for Jews but I would assume in a Jewish Restaurant those practices would be followed as well....
Damn It (e:Tinypliny) you are American and as An American Food must be your new god.. You must learn to go to the Buffet and stack the plate so heavy that you almost can't carry it even though you can get as many plates as you want... Your glass of Soda must be no less the 12oz... 32 Plastic Cup is the perfect size and you will learn to love it..... When watching an eating contest you will mock the loser since you can eat more then that wimp....
Of course I'm joking but in this country there is a love of food that is god like..... Seriously though I will get into the prey thing as a 2nd comment but Buffets are perfect for trying new food types... I will use Indian food as an example but this is true of any ethnic or new food to people... There is this belief that Indian food is spicy or hot... That isn't the case at all yes it can be made that way if one wants it to be but people think it all is... Now at a buffet (a good one at least) you can go up and try this and that and find out what you like and what you don't like... What if you order some $12 meal and you don't like it (not that it wasn't made good that is a different story) now you are out the money and only had a few bites but if you had the buffet and you didn't like it try something else.....
I guess my scare tactics are getting rusty. I need to hone them.
Actually buffets scare me. Something about the idea of unlimited tasty food is terrifying.
