Get thee to M&B Yummy at Queen and Dufferin. It is holyshitamazing. Ethiopian is generally pretty veg-friendly but imagine being able to go in and order anything on the menu, even dishes that are traditionally meat.

Warning: It is still Ethiopian, which means that the injera will continue to expand after you feel full and then you'll have a stomachache when you get home. Ow ow ow.

Is it me, or is it sort of in poor taste for Coors Light to put up an ad in a bus shelter outside of CAMH that reads: "Yes, the bottle is trying to tell you something."?

It's in poor taste, but I think I'd blame the TTC for not establishing a "no booze/meds" policy by CAMH.

[sabotabby]

Well, there's that level of wrong, and then there's the whole making-fun-of-paranoid-schizophrenics level of wrong. Neither of which is cool or belongs near CAMH.

I LOVE M&BYE!

We try to eat there every coupla weeks.

[sabotabby]

I figured you probably knew. But I didn't know, and in case anyone else didn't know, I thought I should spread the word.

Their "beef" (I love all of the quotation marks, actually used properly, on the menu) is pure heaven.

Unfinished Business

I know we were busy talking revolutionary politics and the virtues of dialectical materialism as a conduit for the correct analysis of mid-Capitalism's ongoing crisis, but next time we really have to spend at least a little time discussing the bourgeois (but awesome) wonderfulness that is Doctor Who.

Re: Unfinished Business

[sabotabby]

This is true. Though it can be discussed online, it is really best talked about over pints. And maybe thematic chips, if we can find any that measure up.

Re: Unfinished Business

[ed-rex.livejournal.com]

"Thematic chips"! Wat dat?

And one more, just to show off yet another icon I made while procrastinating this afternoon. I love Ubuntu's built-in screen-capture technology.

Re: Unfinished Business

[sabotabby]

They're always going off for chips in Nu Who.

Ack, Tennant looks frightening in that last icon. More frightening than Davros.

Re: Unfinished Business

Hmm. I was going to bitch at you for criticizing my icon-making genius, but you might have a point there. I think I'll set aside a day to re-watch all of Series 4 in order to replace it with a more suitable "we're off to see the wizard" sort of grin. Meanwhile, I'll soothe your fevered humors with one from the Old School, something safe and nostalgic.

Of maybe just our former (and dearly missed!) Prime Minister laying hands on a constituent.

P.S. It was the word, "thematic" that threw me. I somehow read it as some sort of obscure technical reference.

Finally got to M & B two weeks ago, celebrating my mom's return from abroad. And yeah we had the beefy unbeef too. Gloryoryous.

[sabotabby]

Did everyone know about this place but me?

imagine being able to go in and order anything on the menu, even dishes that are traditionally meat.

I'm guessing then that they don't have kitfo.

[sabotabby]

They do have kitfo, made with fake beef.

I'll get up there as soon as I can -- I love Ethiopian food, and Ethiopian beef dishes were the last forms of meat I actually still liked at all around the time I went vegetarian. But it could take me a while to get there, coming all the way from Baltimore ...

OT1H: Argh! Now I'm realizing how long it's been since I had Ethiopian food;
OTOH: I got a surprise visit yesterday that turned into being treated to yummy yummy Thai food, so I'm not entirely cuisine-deprived this week.

[sabotabby]

I heard B'More has good Ethiopian, though.

[dglenn.livejournal.com]

I haven't found much Ethiopian food in B'more (there's lots and lots and lots of it in DC, where I was introduced to it), but what I've found has indeed been good. :-9 So in that regard, your sources are correct. (But I'm tallying up excuses to visit ON regardless. Starting with needing to visit realinterrobang in London.)

[revolution-grrl.livejournal.com]

Mmmm, Ethiopian. Haven't had that in a while...

[sabotabby]

Neither had I. It was of the yum.

Injera, inshallah....

I've said it for years -- everything is better wrapped in spongey bread. Pizza? Better wrapped in spongey bread. George W. Bush? Better wrapped in spongey bread.

I want to see a production of Prokofief's Romeo and Juliet wrapped in spongey bread. That might not be better. So far, that's about all I've come up with, and I'm not even sure about that one.

Re: Injera, inshallah....

[sabotabby]

For reals. I don't know how people can not like injera. I mean, it pretty much consistently makes me sick but I love it anyway.

[accusehistory.livejournal.com]

I think I'm the only person in Toronto that has tried M&B and really hated it! I'm a huge fan of Nazareth at Bloor and Dovercourt though.

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

I like Lalibela... Haven't been to Nazareth yet. It's like that part of Bloor is turning into a Little Ethiopia!

[frandroid.livejournal.com]

We went. It was nice, but not really above average... The fake beef: more gluten that I could do without. The owner was nice, F had a chat with her. She had a nice Castel beer, Ethiopian. However, we both had gastric reflux in the hours following our meal there. Hmmm. There wasn't many people, which makes me think the food was not as fresh as it should be.
