Hi Dale,

 RH> original volitility.  Speaking of, Steve and I got a flyer for a local
 RH> Greek/Mediterrainian restaurant in Wake Forest a few weeks ago. We
 RH> decided to check them out last Thursday.  Both of us got the lamb
 RH> platter which was ground lamb (pressed, formed and chunked up) and a
 RH> used more garlic IMO.  The 3rd section was supposed to be french fries
 RH> but I subbed tabouli (quite good) and Steve had dolmas (They didn't
 RH> recognise the name; Steve said "grape leaves and they understood.)

 DS> Sounds like you went to a "Greek" restaurant that did not understand
 DS> Greek or maybe even Greek food.

It seemed that way.  They have a problem with English too; twice on the
menu they talk about fresh "graded" spices and another place the term
fresh "granted" spices is used. Also, the falafel sandwich features
Tahiti sauce. The name of the place is Big Boy Gyro & Express Kabab; the
menu touts new ownership on the front.  It makes for fun reading but the
food is good.


 RH> which looked like the ones we saw in a can down at Whole Foods Market a
 RH> couple of days later.

 DS> That might explain a lot:-}}

Quite possible.  We saw another couple come in and get something to eat
there and several come in for take out but it was not a busy place.
It's off the main road; you have to know where to go to find it.  We
found it while looking for another store, after we got the flyer.  Good
food; if it lasts, we will be back.


 ML> strangely struck a chord here, if you make your mustard

 RH> You're the 2nd person (first was in a newspaper article I saw
 RH> yesterday) to use the proper chord in that phrase.  Too many people use
 RH> "cord" instead..................GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

 DS> Of course, in the cold New England winters, one might just strike a
 DS> cord, or two, for the fireplace.


Prbably have to strike quite a few cords to get enough to keep warm.


 DS>       Title: Kota Kapama (Chicken Braised With Cinnamon & Cloves)
 DS>  Categories: Greek, Poultry, Main dish
 DS>       Yield: 5 servings

Looks good to me.  Think if I serve it while Steve is studying Greek it
might help?  Might not with the language itself but it would give him
energy to learn.

... Always butter up the SYSOP, they taste better that way.
