    Good
    This was pretty good, something different for a side dish. It was missing something to it. I am not sure what. It might have been my main that didn't go. I still liked it though :D - 1/23/13

    This was really good. I ate this dish as a meal. Next time I think I might add some tomato but I really enjoyed it. - 9/4/11
