I nearly laughed when I saw "carrot juice" on the menu at the House of Kabobs, located on Edmonton Trail in Calgary. It sounds like something that The Simpsons would lampoon. However, when my new Iranian friend, Mehdi (spelling?) recommended it, I just had to try it. And not just the carrot juice, but the carrot juice float.I was pleasantly surprised. The ice cream is flavoured with saffron and the beverage tastes wonderful. I was so glad that I listened to Mehdi's advice. I also told him that the first syllable of his name is now an official word in the English language, meaning "whatever" or "a form of indifference." So the next time Mehdi recommends a carrot juice float to you, don't say "meh."
