Have You Ever Tasted Food From Éire Trea?
We were sent this image, from a member of the WorldIrish community in San Francisco, of a unique food truck called Éire Trea that sells both Irish and Eritrean food!
The truck sells a mix of foods from both countries ranging from battered sausages to Chicken Doro-Wet.
According to SF Weekly Blogs, last November Galway man Alan Hyland teamed up with an Eritrean man in his apartment building in San Francisco and Éire Trea, which is possibly the world’s first Irish and Eritrean food truck, was born!
So far, there’s very little fusing of the two cuisines. The menu lists dishes like battered sausages, Irish curry with chips — Irish curry tastes similar to Japanese curry, Hyland says — and shepherd’s pie, alongside chicken doro-wat or vegetable stew served over injera bread. They’ve attempted a couple of fusion experiments, such as shiro (ground-chickpea stew) nachos, and have a few more ideas they’re playing around with, but it’s still early days. Abdai and Hyland just moved into a new commercial kitchen shared by an Irish baker, so they may start selling fresh baked goods as well.
