YUM!



Indeed it does sound good, Victor.

Today Nathan & I went out on a bike ride, we did 100km. We stopped for
lunch
at one of our favourite spots and I had a lovely freshly baked wholemeal
baguette, still warm, filled with juicy prawns and sliced avocado, all
with
a fresh side salad of mixed green leaves, red cabbage, cherry tomatoes and
cucumber. It was delicious.

Cheers, helen s

Ohmygawd, that sounds delicious!!! Where did you buy it (or did you make it
yourself)?

In a village not far from Chateau Simmons, Castle Acre, is a Ye Olde Tea
Shoppe, known as Willow Cottage Tea Rooms IIRC. Anyhow, we tend to support
that establishment with our patronage as when Vernon was the victim of a
hit-and-run, the staff there was great. Lots of pots of tea - use of phone
for police, first aid kit, etc., etc. Plus, they like cyclists :-)

All of the food is homemade, the soups are to die for and the homemade cakes
*delicious*. Nathan always has a piece of their homemade carrot cake... The
food they do is good, basic, well-made stuff, not overly pretentious - just
tasty and *lovely*

Cheers, helen s

The Food Channel is big on that Italian flat-leaf parsley on cooking

don't ask me. If I won't eat shrimp brains nor buffalo do you think
I'd snarf down cow's stomachs?
To each his/her own.

I had to try the canned before I could be bothered with preparing menudo
from scratch. Sadly, none of the Mexican restaurants around here serve
menudo so canned was my option to get an idea of what the fuss is about; at
least it came from a market which caters to a Mexican clientele Much ado
about nothing, as it turns out. I'll make something similar using browned
pieces of pork or maybe slices of chorizo, hominy, beef stock, herbs and
spices and call it soup I don't mind tripe but it's not something I look
to love.

Cilantro is a delicious garnish/addition to many Hispanic and other
dishes. It looks somewhat like parsley, but has a distinctive flavor
that really grows on you. Try it! (thanks Victor for not telling us
to leave snapper's head on).

Genetic to some people, cilantro/coriander leaves taste like soap.
I'm one
of those, so I substitute Italian flat-leaf parsley if a recipe
calls for cilantro. It's usually not absolutely essential. I
recently had canned (Victor will kill me!) menudo (tripe and hominy
stew) without it. I added extra Mexican oregano, though, and a
couple of dashes of ground chipolte chili powder I like hot and
spicy!

I know, it's weird to think about!

Well, some things just wouldn't taste right without it.

I've never had the canned stuff, so I dont' know. But menudo *never*
has cilantro added.

chili powder I like hot and spicy!

Oregano, chopped onion, lime juice and dry chiles are the only
condiments used for menudo.

Noooo!!!!!!!! Why do people in this country put hominy in menudo? That's
unheard of in Mexico. Pozole has hominy, menudo only has tripe.

Hey, it came in a *can*! The soup I'm going to make won't have tripe and
I'm actually thinking of using garbanzo beans instead of hominy, so it's
just going to be Jill's Spicy Soup. Happy?

Got a good recipe for Pozole? And while you're at it, can you settle a
small dispute? Some folks are telling me Pozole is a "side dish", not a
soup/stew made with hominy. I say it's a spicy stew with hominy. What say
you?

Pozole is most definitely not a side dish, it's a very hearty soup made
with hominy:

The translation is very poor, let me know if you have any questions.
