Many of us wrapped the chicken suqaar and greens into the canjeero (flat, spongy) bread like it was a fajita. For an extra kick, we laced it with the green jalapeno and garlic sauce.
We’re still talking about the chicken suqaar from Jamile’s.
Yes, the shrimp rolls at Ben Thahn (Vietnamese) were fresh and delicious. And the tres leches and flan from El Purgarcito (Salvadoran) sweetly capped our afternoon.
But Jamile’s (Somali) chicken suqaar—a stewed chicken dish prepared with greens, salad lettuces, and spongy bread called canjeero—was flat out phenomenal.
This is the final day for black farmers to file a claim in a government settlement known as "Pigford II." Congress has set aside more than $1 billion to compensate black farmers who were unfairly denied loans and assistance from the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The U.S. government originally admitted to the discrimination and agreed to compensate victims in 1999, but thousands of farmers didn't learn of the settlement until it was too late. A second settlement was approved last year to accommodate those late filers. Today is their deadline to make a claim.
