This was an unusual meal.
I had to go to court this morning for a routine hearing. The highlight was seeing another lawyer bring his dog into the courtroom. I don't think it was a therapy dog. I think it was just his pet. San Francisco is a very open-minded place.
The hearing ended early and it was the first dry day in a long time, so I walked over a mile to a Caribbean place that served Belizean burritos. I paid for it with a foot blister from walking in my dress shoes.
As a former British colony, I don't know how burritos ended up in Belize (formerly British Honduras). Is it a Mexican influence? Or gringo tourists?
Here are the ingredients, per the menu:
Sautéed fresh spinach with Bay shrimp, cumin rice, garlic yogurt sauce & salsa fresca. Served with black beans
It was so-so. I couldn't eat it with my hand because the water from the beans soaked the tortilla. So I had to eat it with a knife and fork. Very civilized.
