Lamb Shawarma, Maritime Pacific Brewing Co., Seattle, WA

Finding myself  in Seattle's Ballard neighborhood, I drop in Maritime Pacific for lunch. In front of me an appetizing Lamb Shawarma. This gustatorial promising sandwich is a house made patty of seasoned lamb and pork. The shawarma is served on warm flatbread with smoked tomato, hummus, feta, and a red onion tzatziki. Also included is a chili pepper and a slice of pickle. I ordered a side of thin cut fries to round out the lunch.

Lamb Shawarma with Fries

The flatbread sandwich arrived stuffed with a hefty serving of grilled meat. This longish sandwich is to be eaten with knife and fork. Biting into a morsel of meat, the grilled lamb and pork released all its delicious juices. The tangy feta added a sharp and pleasant taste to the mellow lamb. And the flatbread proved wonderfully capable in sopping up all the drippings of meat, feta, onions, and hummus. Yummy. Last, the thin cut fries were a welcome nibble while perusing my beer. 

For my brew, I chose the interesting sounding Old Seattle Lager. Maritime Pacific describes its lager as reminiscent of beers in the early years of Seattle brewing. It seems that Northwest breweries are returning to cold fermentation lagers more and more. I applaud their efforts. The Old Seattle poured a golden color with a light head. It drank down easily like good lagers do with a clean and crisp taste to it. Light body and low alcohol made Old Seattle a fine complementary drink to the hefty shawarma. Try it.
