Mousucka

Today I almost vomited at lunch. I had to hold my napkin over my mouth to calm the impending doom. Thanksfully I held it all together but really I thought about what I was eating and my stomach got sour. Now I have had mousaka at another Greek restaurant and I really enjoyed it. There it was an indivigual lasagna type dish served in it's own ceramic dish and I had it with bread. I could taste the eggplant and topping well but the meat didn't stand out. When I was at lunch today I was eating from a 5x5 inch square of mousaka which was tasting mighty greasy, just into my next bite the topping fell off and I was staring at super greesy ground lamb and I didn't need anymore. When I was in Rhodes my lovely swedish friend was telling me about her trip to Ghana and told me to just not trust the meat cus it might be five days old. Just the idea made me sick to my stomach. Meat it in everything here which can be overwhelming, I love to order fried eggplant by itself. maybe I'll go get some right now...after my ice cream. Ciao!

  3. Oh goodness. Sometimes the food adventures outshine the sightseeing adventures when we are immersed in another culture. I'm glad you held it all together and can just imagine your eyes watering as you tried to keep the "baaaa" from making its grand entrance (or exit). You are more adventurous with meat than I.
    Love you!
