Cookin again

We have an Indian/Italian restaurant near us (or we did--we moved further from where it was, and we haven't checked to see if it still exists). There's a lot in common between Indian and Mexican, at least on some levels (like keeping cumin around in bulk), and our preferred Indian restaurant around here has a dish that is, roughly, Indian-spiced lamb fajitas, and which I kinda like a lot.

Agreed that fusion is a thing, though I'm slightly more comfortable doing it myself, in spite of the above examples.

A local pizza joint was sold to Turks who turned it into a kebab place.

They inherited the pizza ovens and make halal pizza with it. They were still doing the pizzas up to 4 years ago.

Turkish Kebabs

We are a Turkish Kebab Restaurant located at 906 George St in Dunedin. Meals are to dine in and takeaway. Healthy, tasty and affordable!

There was a halal pizza joint where I used to work. My guess is they had a lot of turkey sausages (like pepperoni). No reason it couldn't be a tasty thing, though.

I've kinda been mixing Indian and Mexican at home. Tried making Indian but forget one if the yet ingredients so used the naan and spices to turn it into bad Mexican.

The Rice's seem to work swapping them around as well.

I think they do chicken and Vegetarian pizzas. In of them was a tomato pizza with cream cheese or sour cream and some other stuff. Totally delicious.

The one near where I used to work, IIRC, had pepperoni as a topping, so I figure it was turkey pepperoni and probably not cased (or at least not cased in pork). There's nothing about any of the ingredients to make halal pizza any less delicious, though, I concur.

This particular tangent has reminded me that there’s a killer Ethiopian/Italian place I haven’t been to in far too long.

They use an NZ base vs Turkish but their toppings plus they kept some of the old ones.

One place has a wood fired oven with Turkish style pizza for a starter. Now it's just a flat bread sigh.

The Jordanian friend I mentioned early made me Mansaf which was delicious. I sent him to Yilmaz as he got sick of vegetarian pizza everywhere else.

Mansaf was this rice dish with lamb and almonds plus spice. His falafel is his mother's recipe and it's the nicest I've found in town. Box of falafel and hummus works perfectly well.

I would try that lol. I'll generally try anything that's not seafood or offal.

Made myself hungary now. Chickens been marinading in the fridge last few hours. Probably do a basic roast chicken on salad and rice iskander style on a naan bread. Wife's favorite home cooked meal so I'll try and time it for when she gets home.
