Loving all the WPE reviews! Can't wait to eat there next month and the cheese pizza you had looks super yummy!
Thanks I really love WPE! I'm an addict now! Enjoy your trip there next month
LOL. Maybe they only prep so many cookie spoons per night and after that they do the cocoa powder?
I'm still trying to figure out what the heck it was. We have been given many amuse bouches at many restaurants over the years but I've never seen anything like that.
That's what I was thinking too. They were probably out of them by the time we got dessert.
This is quinoa (KEEN-wah)! It's actually not a grain even though it looks and cooks like one. I'm not sure why they were serving it at Jiko -- it's almost exclusively from South America, so not typically African at all. Nutritionally, it's very, very good for you. It can be served sweet or savory, pretty much the way you'd use rice. I did make it like oatmeal for breakfast one morning, with brown sugar and cinnamon and butter, and it was delicious.
Wow! Interesting! Thanks for posting that. I'll bet it would be pretty good the way you described it. The way we had it was incredibly plain. I don't even know how else to describe it, but it definitely was savory rather than sweet.
Maybe they're taking a hint from 50's Prime Time. "No cookie unless you eat your veggies!"
You might be right!
