Alvarez's Authentic Mexican Food - Palmetto
AM and GM ran into Alvarez's in Palmetto for a quick meal. Learned afterwards that AW and RW have been going here for years.
Great start: Dos Equis brought with a frosted glass and chips and salsa.
Simple fare:: Make your own combo-- shredded beef enchilada with sour cream and jalapeño sauce and tamale with the usual refried beans, rice and salad. A No. 7 included taco, burrito and enchilada with mole sauce and accompaniments. Food was good and you can't beat $21. Maybe next time with the whole group for their dinner entrees.

Turkish Food - Istanblu in Ybor
A group of friends who have traveled extensively and/or have lived overseas got together last night. We met for dinner at Istanblu in Ybor City for an authentic Turkish experience. AF ordered for us all.
We decided to share so we could experience more dishes.
Patlican Ezme or Baba Ghanoush - eggplant dip
Sigara Boregi - rolled cheese pastry
The food was delicious. The belly dancer was fun and quite impressive. In spite of power outage challenges, the staff handled it all. Cooking by candlelight must be very stressful when your restaurant is full.
The complete menu can be viewed at http://www.istanblugrill.com
By evening's end, we had decided that we all love authentic foods from all over the world. And wouldn't it be fun to share our various knowledge of the food from different countries. We plan to rotate being in charge of planning an event whether searching out a restaurant with authentic cuisine or preparing authentic dishes to share in our homes.
Next is a trip to Taste of India followed by either Dim Sum or a Chinese dinner served family style with a Lazy Susan.
This blog is intended to be our diary and a place to share recipes, photos, videos or whatever.
If you wish to follow us, we welcome you.
