Cauliflower


Cauliflower
Cargado originalmente por clayirving
Cauliflower can be roasted, boiled, fried, steamed or eaten raw. When cooking, the outer leaves and thick stalks are removed, leaving only the florets. The leaves are also edible, but are most often discarded. The florets should be broken into similar-sized pieces so they are cooked evenly. After eight minutes of steaming, or five minutes of boiling, the florets should be soft, but not mushy (depending on size). Stirring while cooking can break the florets into smaller, uneven pieces. Cauliflower is often served with a cheese sauce, as in the dish cauliflower cheese, or with a meat gravy.

Low carb dieters can use cauliflower as a reasonable substitute for potatoes for while they can produce a similar texture, or mouth feel, they lack the starch of potatoes; cauliflower is actually used to produce a potato substitute known as fauxtato.

El Aguacatero - The Avocado Man

Los aguacates cubanos son de dos tipos (deben ser distintas especies, o así, pero ésta es la manera en la cual los llaman allá):

-fibrosos
-mantecosos

Pues bien, Tin: los mantecosos, cuando están au point (como probablemente esté ése que señalas) son tan, pero TAN ricos, que Willy y yo los rebautizamos como

'El foie del Caribe'

¡Gracias por tu magnánima benevolencia, oh, angel, Sire!

Me gusta, eso del Devil's Avocado, Mr.: mola que te dé un punto locatis (es tanta tu circunspección habitual, jeje...). Muchas gracias por apreciar justo lo que aquí quería expresar: la cotidianeidad de una tarea que, sin embargo, a nosotros nos es completamente ajena. Y no sólo el producto en sí, sino el tipo de venta: hace unos días comentaba con Létix que cuando yo era pequeño e iba a los recados con mi madre, mucho del pescado menudo (boquerón, sardina, jurelillo ----> en Gijón, bocarte, parrocha, chicharrín) lo vendían, a gritos, desde carretillas y en destartaladas cajas de madera repletas de hielo picado al más puro estilo Molly Malone las mujeres llamadas genéricamente sardineres. Ahora se vende merluza de Namibia entre helechos de plástico. Es que vamos a mejor.

Socializa más de vez en cuando, velascols, que se te echa mucho de menos... aunque te tenga que aguantar todos los días de jefe en el trabajo (¡qué pruebas nos manda el Señor!).

In the market in Cochabamba, Bolivia, tiny streets grow even thinner as they fill with stalls of fruit, soap, silver pans, puppies, and racks of meat. Cars push through crowds of people, and women like this one sit in their skirts and talk to one another over the din.

El mercado de Surquillo en Lima

As part of the Lima gourmet trip we offer a gourmet cooking class with a local cook. This time it was Akundun from the restaurant Costandino in Aguas Calientes.
He was in Lima at the time so he was the teacher for the class we gave to Lina and Chris.
Here at the market of Surquillo getting all the ingredients for the meals we were going to make:
Causa Limena con estofado de camarones
Cebiche de Corvina
Aji de Gallina Rustico
and dessert was something with Chirimoya.

Lucuma queen of all fruits

If you have never tried Lucuma its enough reason to travel to Peru and have a go at it.

Its one of the most fullfilling flavors in any fruit, hard to describe, but its sort of chocolate like, a bit starchy, sweet goodness.

This lucumas in the photo are ripe and were sold for a few soles to be eaten on the spot.

Fruit cart in Miraflores on a winter morning

We started the day with a walk around Miraflores, here is one of the typical fruit cars.

This fruit carts are great, and a cheap way to get a healthy snack. One can find this carts with fruit and vegetables in many areas around Lima.

Great little finger avocados.

Part of our Lima classic tour we visit the central market in chinatown, this is a very chaotic and messy part of town, yet is great to walk around, to see the people going around their daily chores, not trip to Lima should miss a visit here.

The Floating Market - Bangkok

One of the most famous pictures of Thailand, and perhaps one of the most visited tourist sites around Bangkok, is the original Floating Market, Damnoen Saduak, and is located 110 kilometres from Bangkok in Ratchaburi province.
The original canals which now make up the Floating Market were built in 1866 on demand of His Majesty the King of Thailand to help ease communication in the province.
Canals in and around Bangkok are an important method of transport and help to facilitate communication between different areas of the city. To this day many people still live along the canals and frequently use boats as a method of transportation from one point to another.
As food is a very important part of Thai culture, you will see mobile food stores selling anything from fruit, Som Tam, barbequed chicken, and other delicacies moving around Bangkok, on the streets just as an ice cream van does in most western countries. This also applies to the canals where you will frequently see boats moving from house to house selling different wares
