The flavor palate in this dish is similar to chili. It’s a nice sized dish for the price, making it one of the better vegan options at the festival. The chili flavor does permeate all the vegetables, and it would be nice if they had a flavor of their own. The vegetables are limp instead of crunchy, and the dish is a bit spicy. It’s particularly cumin-heavy. While there’s nothing necessarily wrong with this dish, we’d simply rather head to Sanaa for African-inspired food, and enjoy other options for the festival.

From correspondence with 3 Daughters Brewing: “This allspice is everything nice. Light apple cider is complemented by flavors of cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and black pepper in a brew perfect for the fall.”
