Hmmm....
very interesting. I've heard of chocolate covered grasshoppers as a delicacy, and even tried ants on a camping excursion (I like the survival gig), but I've never heard of a cookbook including insects. (I would like to peruse the pages of that one ). I do have a soul food cookbook with a recipe for racoon, though! ------------------ Proud new member of LH! |

I'm not as much into tex mex as I am cuban, mexican, and middle eastern styles. But I find some of it very good.

Mid eastern is nice. I never tried cooking it though. I love the Lebanese sweets, Kebabs and....oh, Turkish Tea! (as opposed to coffee) The Turkish tea I had in Berlin was the nicest tea I've had. I've had an Armenian sweet too. (At a world fair, in Berlin again) Walnuts dipped in a hot wine concoction repeatedly, then allowed to dry. A sweet fudgelike encasement forms. Incredible. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on.... A fair dinkum laughing Hyena! [This message has been edited by Yorick (edited 09-01-2001).] |

I think that what draws me to mid east is the olives and earthy flavors. I love olives. I have a very extreme palate. I love lemons, vinegar, hot sauce, anything with an acidic base. I don't think that there is any food that I would refuse to try. At least once, after all, how do you know if you like it if you don't try it?

You seem to know so much about tea!
I love it but I've never really had the chance to sample many varieties. So far my favorite is green tea, but I would be VERY happy to hear what you think is the best. Keep in mind that I'm in the states and I may not be able to find certain kinds. ------------------ Proud new member of LH! |

It is very nice. A black sweet Earl Grey is pretty nice too. The added Bergamot is a nice flavour I find. Some Sri Lankan teas are gorgeous. Darjeelang or something. Ah! I was given some by a friend of mine from Sri Lanka. IT'S SITTING IN SYDNEY! Again, black (and sweet) is the way to go. ------------------ I am the walrus!.... er, no hang on....
