Bite of the Week
Vegeterian Combination
The Casbah, 119 E. Main St.
The Scoop: You get a little of everything with this platter. Earthy hummus, tangy baba ghanouj, two grape leaves filled with a spicy rice mixture, two crisp falafel, and an explosively-flavorful tabouli salad. Mop up every last bit with the fresh-baked pita bread.
Health implications: No artery-clogging animal fats, just heart-healthy olive oil and homemade vegetable dishes.
Value: Grub at the Casbah from 3-6 pm on weekdays and all the appetizers are half off.
Grocery Grab
Heinz Spotted Dick
The grocery aisles are filled with mysterious canned products. This British dessert is like bread pudding. Ok, so it's a little off-putting, but can you really pass up the chance to be the proud owner of spotted dick?
