Spicy lot on board–I think I might wear red painted armour! Fran
I’ll take a handful
This is a lot of fun Lori. African Cuisine? Does this mean we are sailing in full on pirate territory?
If the food is as good as this food smelled and looked, then I say full sail ahead……..
Ha! LOL! African Cuisine — yum! Sounds like we are headed into some mischievous fun!
Please pass the injira! (And that mysterious green stuff – wonder if it is part of a newcomer’s initiation rite?)
Wow! That’s something.
Vi
I suspect the green stuff is absinthe, the drink of wildly creative bohemians who hang out in the small hours telling each other ghost stories…
Ohhh- yummy is right. Sounds good to me. What fun that you found this, Lori. Oh, and Yo-ho-ho and pass the green grog.
Muncha Muncha Crunnnnnccchaaa
Watch out for those pelicans!
LOL, Anita Marie

But be careful – read this Wikipedia bit on the poisonous calabar bean:
“They constitute the E-ser-e or ordeal beans of the people of Old Calabar, being administered to persons accused of witchcraft or other crimes. In cases where the poisonous material did its deadly work, it was held at once to indicate and rightly to punish guilt; but when it was rejected by the stomach of the accused, innocence was held to be satisfactorily established. A form of dueling with the seeds is also known among the natives, in which the two opponents divide a bean, each eating one half; that quantity has been known to kill both adversaries. Although thus highly poisonous, the bean has nothing in external aspect, taste or smell to distinguish it from any harmless leguminous seed, and very disastrous effects have resulted from its being incautiously left in the way of children.”
YIKES!
My guess is that the restaurant, which specializes in West African cuisine, is named after the city of Calabar in Nigeria.
My guess is that someone needs to check and see exactly what is lining the walls of the Calabar Felonway….
