What do you think of this menu?
Permalink  
 

At an upcoming sales meeting, a small group of us will be dining at the restaurant with this menu ...

 

https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/dining/animal-kingdom-lodge/jiko-the-cooking-place/menus/

 

Any suggestions would be appreciated, given that

I can't have anything with nuts,

I don't like greasy or very spicy food, and

I'm not very adventurous. AND I'm trying to continue losing weight.

 

I know nothing about African food, except that the company is picking up the check.

 

Ideas?

Maize crusted grouper looks like your safest bet.

Not very authentic, but it sounds tasty.
Do you like seafood?

Avoid anything that says "crispy", it's fried. I'd probably go for the harissa chicken or the short ribs. For appetizer I'd stick with the boar.

The grouper, if you ask for the tomato butter sauce on the side.

Yes, I like seafood, preferably grilled.

Great suggestions my friends, I'm glad you're here to guide me.

Oak-grilled Filet Mignon
Jumbo Asparagus, Spoon Bread, and South African Red Wine Sauce

That'd be my pick.

You know that they will accommodate special diets?

Call them. You'll be amazed by how accommodating they are.

Actually, it looks like they have a simple grilled chicken or Market fresh fish but you have to scroll down a little to the Kids Mickey Check meals. Maybe you could call ahead to see if this would be an available option for you.

Grouper or the scallop salad. Both sound awesome.

Now for the important question.

Do you get to go see the animals?

 One coworker said she'll be wearing her leopard-print dress. Does that count?

 Ed, word of advise; don't even go there with co worker, no matter how flirtatious she is.  It is not something you want to experience in this day and age.

Her husband is a leach and a bum (Makes a "living" as a musician, sort of ... ) but he's bigger than me, and ...

This lady loves to talk, and tells the greatest stories. I'm careful what I talk to her about. OTOH, she's brilliant, and a super star at work.

I'm normally a perfect gentleman with coworkers. Except one, who loves to tease and make sexual innuendos.

She sometimes asks me about the years I made a living selling sex, as opposed to now, when we make a living selling morphine and hydrocodone.

I really want to try it sometime.

And stay in one of the rooms with the wild animals outside it.

Can you imagine laying in bed and hearing a lion roar?
