This past weekend I took a little trip down to Toronto to go to a concert. It is quite difficult to eat a paleolithic diet while staying with people who don't. I was fortunate enough to have some foods for the road that we didn't eat. So I ate them while as was there instead having the waffle breakfast that my cousin prepared.
It was also difficult to find foods to eat out at restaurants. One of my favourite places to eat in Toronto is Messini's on Danforth Ave. They have the best Gyros ever. Unfortunately all of the foods are made with pitas and tzatziki sauce...so I ordered a salad with pork on top. Unfortunately the brought me a salad no pork, I'm a very non-confrontational person so I didn't sent it back and just decided to pay less for me meal. Although I did really want that pork.
The next day we also went out to a Thai restaurant in the Atrium at the Bay, across from the World's Biggest Bookstore. It was delicious, and the waiter was kind of to point out foods made without rice or grains once I explained my situation to him.
It was a delicious feast. And quite economical too. We had korean ribs, cabbage soup with shrimp stuffed cabbage rolls, green curry with beef (om nom nom), steamed beef balls, mango salad, and a few other dishes. It was unbelievably tasty, filling, and inspiring.
By inspiring, I mean I now wants to learn how to make green curry and beef balls. It was absolutely wonderful. I love being exposed to other cultures because it enables me to learn more things.
