Field Trip!


Reading Terminal Market
Reading Terminal Market is a wonderful place. As soon as you walk through the doors it's buzzing with hungry people and you notice the array of delicious smells. When I visited last Wednesday, it wasn't my first time there, but I was still overwhelmed. I am not good at making decisions, and at a place like Reading Terminal Market where you can find any food from any culture, it is next to impossible for me to make up my mind. But I was determined to try something new, so with a little help from friends, I finally settled on an Indian and Pakistani restaurant. While I'd had and enjoyed Indian food many times before, I'd never tried Pakistani food, and this seemed like a good opportunity to step outside of my food comfort zone.
My dinner excursion
I orded my chicken dish (I'm still not sure how to pronounce it) and confirmed with the men working there that it was in fact a traditional Pakistani dish. I tried to further converse with them, but neither spoke English well and had thick Pakistani accents that were difficult to understand. I then sat down and enjoyed my chicken and complementary chai masala tea, both of which were delicious. I can't wait to return to Reading Terminal Market with my roommates so we can all push our food comfort zones.
