Both parties on a date at Aladdin’s Eatery pretended to enjoy Hummus in order to impress the the other on Saturday, July 17th. While it is unknown who first breached the subject of ordering the Middle Eastern Dish, we do know that Tyler Brant, 22 of Stow was the one who actually ordered it. Brant and his date Emily Bradshaw of Kent both lightly dipped pita bread into the garlicky paste, and each pretended to enjoy it.
“It’s really good,” said Bradshaw.
“I know, I love this place,” replied Brant.
After a few minutes, both simply ate the triangles of pita bread and continued what was otherwise a lovely evening.
“It’s really not my thing” said Brant, holding 2 wrapped to-go containers in his hand. “And the shishtawook wasn’t exactly what I thought it was going to be…I’ll just hit up taco bell later.”
Bradshaw declared the meal to be “really good” but eyewitnesses reported that she pushed the contents of her Fatayer Plate around and actually ate very few bites. Another report from her roommate suggested that she came home from the date in high spirits, but quickly vanished into her bedroom with a box of “Nilla Wafers” brand cookies.
