Opus 2024-048: Firsts: Pepita

In my quest for relevance, flexibility and novel experiences I tried a new restaurant.  The prices seemed a bit high but in this age of Bidonomics I can’t seem to find a dollar menu any more.

The fare offered two types of chicken fried steak.  They were the same price.  I could not figure out the difference from the description.  The second one was called Pepita Crusted Chicken Fried Steak.  I asked and the answer had something to do with ground up pumpkin seeds.  Time to live at the high octane level.

There are times when I am grateful that I do not have a discerning palate.  One of the things that you food snobs never consider is that I have a much wider range of range craft I can enjoy.  You miss much of it because it isn’t subtle enough.  In this case the offering tasted good but I could not figure out what nuance was delivered by the ground up pumpkin seeds.

And I didn’t even ask for it to be well done.
