MM> I am going to Sacramento in March and London in May. I was thinking of
MM> stuff from Asian lands and even stuff from Africa.
Interesting choice.
For a taste of NE Africa, you can try either Absysina, or Kind Bean. They are
aonly a block or two from each other on Fulton between & Hurley. Fairly good
but be prepared to eat with your hands, some, like me tehd to disagree with the
Injera flat bread but if you don't have problems with heartburn, it's your food
delivery mech.
There are also a couple of Lebanese/Moroccan places about but I've only tried
one and wasn't too impressed. I've been told to try The Palace for more
traditional African meals, but since Sac is a two hour drive from here, we tend
to stop at our favorite Korean place when in route ;-)


MM> And yes, there are some indie taco joints I havent yet visited in
MM> Ontario, California.

Oh!  Sorry, I thought you were in Oxnard area.  I keep forgetting how large the
greater LA area is.

I always find that the smaller 'hole in the wall' indie places are typically
more authentic and flavorful than any of the chains. Especially for traditional
Latin or East Asian foods.

I haven't been into London yet, but everyone I've discussed the area with tells
me that traditional 'Brittish' foods are very bland and starchy, and to
consider the many curry houses that have popped up ofer the last couple of
dozen years. Unfortunately, you'll be there before I get there in '24 or '25.
