Quote:You got all kinds of food vendors now Syber. Shwarma, falafel, pretzels, chestnuts, peanuts - and more, and the pretzels are still burned when you get them and taste like charcoal. Dirty water dogs on nearly every corner. A smorgasbord of nastiness indeed.I had to look up Shwarma. 'Traditionally served with hummus' it says. Interesting.
I never cared for the pretzels, but I did like the fresh garlic bagels. I was only 10 when I left 'the city' though, so my palate wasn't very sophisticated.
