Voyage of Gastronomic Discovery

The plan was for us (Sharleen - my wife and I), Amna and Sam to meet up at our place and go out for dinner to BBQ Tonight. On reaching BBQ tonight we all felt that our ‘strictly red meat’ carnivorous side (I have friends that would put chicken in the vegetable category!) had taken over and we all started scanning over the well read menu looking for red meat dishes to order.

Before Sharleen could order 2 of our most ordered dishes (Afghani Kababs and Malai Tikkas) I suggested that we order their mutton ribs and 3 surprised faces looked up at me. “Mutton ribs! Are they any good?” I couldn’t believe they hadn’t tried the BBQ Tonight mutton ribs! This had to be a night of gastronomic expansions; and we ordered them.

I have been known to enjoy (more-than) my fair share of food! I am also known to flirt with cooking and experiment with new tastes. Knowing this, Amna suggested that I start up a blog, where I could write about my ‘gastronomic escapades’ and what dishes I had found buried in the various restaurant menus. I could even write about my experiences in various restaurants and what I liked/didn’t like about them. Her idea struck a chord and thus this blog was born!

Cheers,

Ashar
