I'm about to help my grandma cook some steaks and eat them with a bakery roll (filled with jalapeños and cotija cheese - I don't know if an English word exist for it, but in Spanish we call them bolillos)
Having teenage kids means I end up eating junk food quite often: once again hot, fresh pepperoni and cheese pizza, washed down with freezing A&W root beer.
There was a time, much younger, I ate only 'grown-up' food . . . oily beer nuts, stale pretzels, moose meat sausages.. . .
I mentioned months ago, that I was having some Kiwi. (No, not the people of NZ - I meant the fruit.) Here in Canada we just have Kiwi the fruit. No Kiwi Bird, Kiwi tree, Kiwi flower, etc - but I stand corrected - a local grocer had this in recently:
I also spotted this, and grabbed a quick shot of stuff people over here eat - I haven't had this; maybe some of you Peruvian members out there have prepared it.
This is what I wonder, too. Should i crush all that up and throw it on myself in the shower? It was on the vegetable racks in a rather large grocers that carry international food. I know one guy who chops bits of it and throws it into the bottle of the water cooler - but other than that - do you . . um . . fry it? Soup? Pie? (As in rhubarb.)
Guess someone from Mexico or Peru might know. Obviously we can wiki it to death - but I'm sick of sorting through pounds of junk to get an ounce of truth that could be just cliche or outdated.
When I walk into one of our grocery stores I usually see ten things I don't know to one I'm familiar with . . . but I'm learning . . .
Here's another. Are these a type of cucumber? Or tiny marrows? They're about two inches long. Sour? Hot? Sweet? Someone from the Dominican Republic will know. I could take a couple to the counter but I hate to be stared at. I don't want to buy a pound either before I know what it is. I'm just nosey about the world is all.
👍
