Hi C-H's,
Thank you all for your advice - we had a great time.
At the Farmer's Market near the La Brea tar pits we sampled
churrascaria (Sp?) from the Brazilian stand. The skewered meats and
sausage were sliced on to our plates. I think this is called a
rodizio.
They have a salad bar and rice, beans, farofa (made from yucca flour)
and all sorts of other stuff. When I asked for something hot they
gave me some tiny pickled peppers. The taste went wonderfully well
with the BBQ'd meat, so I asked them where I could buy some. They
sold me a small bottle on the understanding that I told nobody else!!
(Be good.) The peppers are called "pimenta malagueta" and are pickled
in vinegar and salt. Anyone know where I can get some seeds?
We also had a great time with Chileheads Mary and Riley. I expect
they are still eating the leftovers.
Thanks for the eggplant recipes. I would never have thought of using
gorgonzola cheese but it was very good with just sliced and fried
eggplant in olive oil plus some pepper flakes.
