The Blue Nile

For my last night in Germany we decided to go out for dinner. It was a nice break from the packing and laundry and attempts at homework. Sean mentioned an African Restaurant down the road, and as I have never had African cuisine before,  I was up for the challenge.

We walked in and were immediately pleased to find that while the menus only came in German, our server spoke amazing English. We asked some questions because none of us knew anything about African food and ended up ordered a combination platter for three that came with lamb, beef, and chicken. He then proceeded to bring us a GIANT silver plate covered in a type of bread and our dinner. I was so pumped because I have always wanted to try the food that comes on one plate and you all share. We had curried (I think they were curried, either way they were amazing) veggies, lentils (which I had never had and LOVED), spiced chopped lamb, spiced chopped beef, and a more mild chopped chicken with vegetables, salad, spinach, okra, sour cream/yogurt.



One of the best parts of this dinner was that Kay Marie absolutely loved it! We could keep her off the plate! The server even brought her her own pate of lentils because like me, she loved them and wouldn't stop eating mine lol.


We ate practically everything on the plate and I have to say it was one of the best dinners I have ever had. I love it when being adventurous pays off so much!


I wish dearly I knew of an authentic African place in Korea but I am pretty sure that may be difficult to find. It is ok though, something else to look forward to when we move back Stateside :D
