This experience took place on Saturday, April 12, 2014<\/em><\/p>\n

There are three items on the Tingis Sampler…<\/p>\n

The Lamb Slider: it was smaller today than on our first Tingis Sampler; it wasn’t very “meatball shaped” (i.e. it wasn’t round), the shape was more like it had been cut off of a round loaf; the flavor was better, it tasted “lamb-y”; our biggest complaint was that it was too cool and somewhat dry (as if overcooked and left to sit for a bit)… This isn’t one of our favorite dishes.<\/p>\n

The red wine paired with the lamb sausage worked really well, quite smooth. The sausage is not fatty or overly gamey. We really like it, it has a mild spiciness that we enjoy and a very meaty texture.<\/p>\n

The chicken harissa roll is a bit of surprise. We both really like it! And although we agree that it’s a lot like a southwest egg roll found in many chain restaurants – this is better because of the execution. It could also be that the flavor and texture remind us of college food (sentimental value).<\/p>\n
