Lunch: squid with ali-oli sauce and tomato salad. I ate the dish as fast as a ravenous pig. Oh Jesus... reaping undergrowth and fruit is tiring.

Breakfast: serrano ham sandwich with olive oil and a dark, toasty Nicaraguan coffee. It is going to be a busy day... I have to gather fruits and olive...

Interesting thoughts. Well, my concept of real food is the effort to approximate to its original significance. For example: it seems that in Europe we...

The main aim was to learn English. The friends of mine lived there and then, we moved to Arkansas, Missouri, Wisconsin and Illinois.

When I was in Houston back in 2015, I was attended at the airport in Spanish, not in English.

:rofl: I must not confuse "bacon" (panceta) with "beacon" (faro). Another thing about English vocabulary that I learned today. Were you thinking about...

I started to love Asian aesthetics after that experience too! This happened around 2007 and 2008. My Chinese friends were the only foreigners in the b...

What an interesting experience! :sparkle: I never go to Lidl. Sorry, my bad... maybe the next time I will enter this market, but it seems to be imposs...

I love Chinese culture as well. I have a big respect for China. I have worked and studied with Chinese citizens and they are awesome. When I was a kid...

This is what I always look for: real Chinese food. Hard to find, but worth eating whenever you find it.
April 14, 2023 at 06:06
I will never know how to explain it, but yes, Japanese folks love to do that. There are a lot of sites in Tokyo for batting practice.

Their taste is good. Maybe they are smaller than real Chinese dumplings. The only complaint I have about Mercadona dumplings is what they are made of:...

We also have a "Chinatown" vibe in Madrid. It is located in a neighbourhood called "Usera". Yes, it is not as important as NYC, but hey, they have goo...

Dumplings! One of the best dishes from Asia, indeed. I love pork dumplings with soy sauce and bittersweet. Mercadona sells dumplings in packs of 24 po...

I agree. Estonia is a good example and it is amazing the recovery they have experienced after the fall of Soviet Union. A while ago, I read some paper...

Yes, these vegetables stink. Their odor is strong, and I know some people who do not want to eat them just for this reason. It is a pity because they ...
