But often they aren't on the same plate. Sometimes they are, but usually we get chicken + gravy on one plate and the waffle on the other.

That completely changes my mental picture. I thought it was, like, a chicken/waffle sandwich. If they're on different plates, the waffle is like cornbread or a biscuit, just with little holes.

Perhaps it's different elsewhere, but the naan that's available at two restaurants here is not unlike a gray, droopy sponge that's been sliced into wafer-thin servings.

Yeah, that's REALLY bad naan. The naan I've had is delicious, not unlike a slightly thinner warm pita bread.

Somebody should deny her Roscoe's for a little while until someone can film this for posterity.

Then push her nose.

Hey! Now my nose itches, I hope you're happy.

Naan does sound good. Plei, wanna go get Indian food this weekend. Want Pete & I to bring you Indian food this weekend?

The ethiopian crepe-y tortilla things did give me pause for a bit

The ethiopian crepe-y tortilla things did give me pause for a bit, but I decided I liked them after all.

That's the one bread I don't like. I don't especially like sourdough to begin with (sorry, San Franciscans), and the Ethiopian stuff is like a concentrated version of what I don't like about sourdough.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I don't like sourdough either, but I like injera. Probably not straight, though--only with yummy food on it.

I OD'ed on mac&cheese years ago

Is that even possible?

Enjira!

I love a small amount of this, but by the time I'm half-way through the meal I find it off-putting for some reason.

Naan, though. Yum. You could get that in the grocery store in Montreal. I used to use it for sandwiches, what was left after I ate the first couple right out of the bag anyway.

I OD'ed on ramen in college (I think that's a degree requirement, along with 2 phys. ed. credits and a couple of science classes). In spite of considerable effort, I haven't managed to OD on mac & cheese.

Mmm sourdough.

Jilli, I should have added that immediately after they have to take you to Roscoe's.

OK, so far so good with the bread food-porn discussion.

What about dumplings?

I was just thinking, it's sorta sad, but most of my belongings would easily fit in Hank.

I think that was what tipped me over to deciding it was ok; it wasn't bread for bread's sake, it was a bready delivery device. Much like how I treat tortillas (though good tortillas are a joy alone.)
