A brief story about momos

(To distract from the stress of the election.)

Man, I love me a momo.  The Tibetan variety is a giant dumpling, more or less like a fist stuffed with spices and vegetables and served with a spicy dipping sauce.  

When I saw momos on the menu at my Kathmandu restaurant for pretty darn cheap (like 75 cents), I was so excited! Thought I'd get a couple to have as an appetizer before my soup.  So I ordered two.

Here's what I got:

Not two momos.  Two orders of ten momos each.  20 Nepali momos.  About 7.5 cents per momo.  At least the Nepali variety are smaller than the Tibetan ones, more or less like a potsticker/gyoza.  But 20 momos of even that smaller size is a lot of momos. 

And I ate every last one of them.  And they were delicious.
