Win Tix to the SWEETest Event Ever at the New York City Wine & Food Fest
The Warm Strawberries with Toasted Almonds and Black Pepper Ice Cream at Graffiti Food and Wine Bar in the East Village. Chef Jehangir Mehta serves the dessert himself, complete with a soft spoken explanation of why "the crunch in the almonds is the perfect foil for the warm strawberries and how the bite from the black pepper accents the dish in the most subtle but telling way". The Black Pepper Ice Cream is one of the most wonderful flavors I've had and compliments the strawberries in a way I didnt think possible
Dear Slice: Here's Where to Get Pizza in Zambia
It's great to see pics of the Black Knight! I spent 2007 in Lusaka, and it's true, the Black Knight is the only good brick oven pizza, although the Italian Club also serves a decent slice. I had the pleasure of becoming friends with the owner, a white Zambian named Bernard and his family also owns Cafe Kilimanjaro in Lusaka and another cafe in Victoria Falls. Tomatoes are everywhere in Zambia and extremely cheap. In fact, it's hard to imagine I buy heirloom tomatoes at the Farmer's Market after spending pennies on Tomatoes in Zambia. I believe the cheese is probably imported from South Africa because Bernard's family definitely had some S. African connections, but they do have Supermarkets in Lusaka with relatively decent cheese.
As far as bagels, there are none to be bought. However, having endeared myself to the Jewish community of Lusaka (being a fellow Yid myself) I did come across one instance of bagels for Breakfast on Yom Kippur. A Jewish South African family had taught their cook how to make bagels and she would make dozens for special occasions. This was a rare treat for me in a bagelless year. And the bagels weren't over-sized monsters either. They were small, delicious and accompanied by lox and cream cheese.
