| - like butter baby!
got a potluck? need to fake like you spent hours over a hot stove? want healthy sides for the roast?
i highly recommend the butter beans and beet salad at Ghazales. the first is prepped to a consistency that is just... i know, yes, but yes, buttery. i mean, as opposed to over-cooked mushy beans. simply quarter-sized beans in a tomato sauce served hot or cold. the second, beet salad is tender, but barely. the toothsome texture is especially welcome in contrast to the butter beans and in comparison to the canned (but tasty) pickled beets most (not me) have grown to loathe. Seasoning for the beets was perfectly sour/sweet for my tastebuds.
I bought 500ml tubs, each for $4.99. There was plenty for sides for a group of 7 adults and 3 kids at a potluck with other dishes.
Ghazales has lots of other colourful items that I will surely be back to try. I like that most items look really healthy, it makes me feel good about picking up "fast food". While it's small, cramped, and really warm, especially when more than one other customer is in there, it's fine for take-out and the service is pretty quick.
