Kalamata, Feta, Baklava oh my!
Pita, Hummus, Baba oh my!
Just a few of the items that made their way into our cart as we enjoyed our first shopping trip to Baiz Market. This place is a great resource for hard to find middle eastern ingredients. We got a nice block of Feta much cheaper than the grocery, for example.
There were many items I saw that we didn't get this trip - we'll save them for our next excursion. Like European Style Ovaltine. What? European style? I was a big Ovaltine fan as a kid - just imagine how much more worldly I will be if a drink European Style Ovaltine purchased at a Middle Eastern Market! Sprechen sie Global Citizen drink mix?
We ate at the little restaurant in the front. Fabulous! Four of us shared a plate of baba ganoush, a chicken shawarma wrap, a falafel wrap and of course an order of fries. The kids insisted they needed the fries because they probably wouldn't like the middle eastern food. So everything was delicious including the fries and some serious haggling took place over who got how many bites of the chicken shawarma. We washed everything down with a pomegranate juice drink, 2 waters and an orange crush. Perfection!
So glad we stopped here!
