At first, I thought it was in rather poor taste that the Bob Marley restaurant at CityWalk would serve meat and liquor. Here's why:
Members of the Rastafari Movement (and Bob Marley was a Rasta) are expected to keep to a certain diet, the Ital diet. In its strictest interpretations, Ital = vegan and no liquor. So I had decided that if I ever go to the CityWalk Bob Marley restaurant, I'd honor Bob and eat vegan that night (I'd just double up on meat at The Three Broomsticks the next morning, lol).
As it turns out, Bob himself only kept to the core of the Ital diet, which is no pork and no salt. He ate meat, drank (some) liquor, and generally didn't keep to the diet as strictly as some other Rastas do.
The upside to this is that when I go to Bob Marley: A Tribute next time I'm at Universal, I don't have to be a vegan!
