menu discussion #2
“What about serving falafel?”
“… I think we have to alienate it first.”
“Alienate it? Like from its species being?”
“If we think about it as falafel, we box ourselves into the Middle Eastern thing. Instead we have to think about it as a savory chickpea and herb fritter.”
“So we’re not actually serving falafel, we’re serving the anguished cry of falafel denied?”
“I think it’ll go great with peaches.”

Something about the tone of this conversation sounds eerily familiar. Also, it sounds tasty and has made me giggly.

I haven’t thought about being alienated from my species being since 2001.

You might want to add a julienne of purple carrots for texture contrast. I’ve found that they’re not as sweet as bog-standard carrots, especially at the purple edges. Not sure how common they are now - they were all the rage a few years back.
