Bloom Foods

Menu test #8:
Carrot taco with black beans, jollof sauce, curry peanuts, and fresh mint
AND
cheese enchiladas with jollof sauce, fried plantain, nixtamalized carrot, Oaxacan black beans, pickles onions

Taco rating:
• 7.9/10
• Flavors were great, it just needed a better assembly. Maybe some full black beans instead of refried to give it a better bite.

Enchilada plate rating:
• 9.2/10
• Every bite was perfect - spicy, cheesy, sweet, sour, and funky (from the fermented locust bean in the black beans).
• Nixtamalization on the carrot needed more time. I left them the same amount of time as I would 1/2" sweet potatoes, but I think the sugar content is lower, so they needed more time for a similar effect.

I am using these menu tests to bring something new to the farmer's market on February 24th. I am shifting from testing flavors to honing in on my first pop-up menu. Stay tuned for that!!!
