Chow Now Open in Columbia City: La Teranga!

Posted by Bethany Jean Clement on Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 3:57 PM

Goldy

The tiny hole-in-the-wall in Columbia City that used to house Roy's BBQ is now La Teranga, a Senegalese place, and our friend Jill (of Edible Seattle) is pretty much delirious! Witness her excitement:

I am in love! How did I not know about baobab juice? It's like lemon custard juice! Or something! Unicorn milk! No, that's gross! Anyway! We just had a delicious meal. His dish was something-or-other Yapp! Lamb, olives, lovely possibly pickled onions, broken rice. I had a vegetarian mafe plate—cassava, yam, sweet potato, & carrot with an interesting tangy peanut sauce. Senegalese food might be my new favorite kind of food.

After being badgered for 17 days, Goldy was prevailed upon to take the photo above, which also prompted him to report that across the street—where the Chelsea Deli (sob!) used to be—an organic juice and smoothies place is opening called Jus Bar (the U has a line over it, but that is beyond my HTML skills—feel free to strut your superior stuff in comments!).

So Columbia City's getting a juice bar. Congratulations? Condolences?

In HTML, to create umlaut accent marks type the & (ampersand symbol) then the letter (A, e, etc.), then the letters uml, then ; (semicolon) such as:
& euml; for ë
& Uuml; for Ü
(with no space after &)

So it would be Jüs bar?

They don't bother to use a ū on their website (where they use stock photos with watermarks) so I wouldn't worry about it.

@1, @2, I don't see anything about an umlaut in the post.

@4 then you obviously didn't read the last paragraph, you twit.

Whoa, @5, the last graf says "line" not dots! See @3.

And technically it's in the second to last graf.

@5, the last paragraph says "So Columbia City's getting a juice bar. Congratulations? Condolences?".

Who's the twit again?

The paragraph before says "the U has a line over it". An umlaut is not a line. It is never rendered as a line. In the example here, the name of this juice bar, the line does not represent an umlaut.

You are that twit. Again.

+1 on Senegalese food in Seattle.
-1 on Will in Seattle.

@6, @7, meet Will in Seattle, the dumbest motherfucker who ever motherfucked, who displays his special brand of "I have no idea what I'm talking about but here it is anyways" every day on this blog. He is the zero percent.

I had baobab juice in Senegal, and that stuff tastes like if you ground up auto air fresheners and mixed it with water. If La Teranga's baobab is even remotely drinkable, they have to be adding something else or seriously diluting it.

Bissap with mint and sugar is where it's at.

It's Unicode Character 'LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH MACRON' (U+016B), and you should be able to find some way to generate it here:

But more importantly, does your friend Jill appreciate your telling the world at large just how delicious she is? Some people are very private about their deliciousness.

I say a Juice Bar=congrats! I feel like Seattle is weirdly short on actual juice bars, like with real fruit. I can hardly think of any, actually. And I like when ANYTHING opens in Columbia City that even has the vague possibility of staying open because, frankly, there ain't that much here and what little we get closes ASAP.

I can't wait to try La Terranga!

Posted by Dod on March 19, 2012 at 7:38 PM

I need new glasses. Seriously. I just got a new prescription but haven't had it filled yet. Okay, so Jill isn't delicious after all. She's delirious, so you're off the hook. People just aren't as private with their deliriousness as they are with their deliciousness. My apologies.

@15: Hee hee.
