wow, what a cool market! such a good selection of fruit and veg! i've never heard of caja, what does it taste like? what do you use it for?
ReplyDeletethank you!
that sure beats our once a week market which features carrots, parsnips and rutabaga! But it's local.
ReplyDeleteto guavablossom ... thanks for the compliment. I plan on doing a similar video tour of the vegetable section soon. As for the question about caja, I'm glad you asked. I'm doing some research on it now, and will post an article soon. Thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDeleteto sue ... carrots, parsnips, rutabagas (and likely potatoes too at your market) may not be exotic, but they are all pasty-able!
ReplyDeleteJim: You could be to Brazil what our Rick Bayless is to Mexico. This reminds me so much of his TV programs called "Mexico, One Plate at a Time."
ReplyDeleteJP to JP -
ReplyDeleteI'm a Bayless fan, and have a couple of his cookbooks home in Vancouver, so I'll take that as a compliment!
