After work I went to see Bill at an Argentinian restaurant
called Moo on brick lane. I don't think I've ever had Argentinian food before so I was quite excited. I ordered something off the menu called Salachichi*
or something like that, reassured by my trusty mantra that it's always a
good sign when you can't pronounce what you're ordering, it means you're
expanding your food repertoire. I was vaguely expecting something classically
Argentinian that was to come with guacamole (which now I come to think about it,
should have made me suspicious, but didn't). What then arrived was a VERY large
sausage! It looked distinctly German (an unexpected cultural influence to be
sure). The type of low grade knockwurst that could be vegetarian and you
wouldn't know. I'd also misjudged the sides and ended up with both chips and
mash. I can no longer remember what part
of ordering unknown items off menus is sensible!
*Turns out it's called a 'Salchicha' - I looked this up in
case any aficionados judged me!
