[quote=”maravilla”]do your friends a huge favor and ditch the cheez whiz. they must have really clogged up pipes after eating that mess. it’s not even real cheese. ugh! next they’ll ask for Velveeta. double ugh![/quote]
I was waiting for you to chime in on this Cheese wiz subject 😉
i couldn’t resist. i had the same visceral reaction today when a friend of mine told me she eats margarine. when are people going to eat real food, not some goop that was made in a lab? my rule is if it didn’t exist 100 years ago, don’t eat it!!!!
“The history of the nectarine is unclear; the first recorded mention in English is from 1616,[7] but they had probably been grown much earlier within the native range of the peach in central and eastern Asia.”
yes, david, that includes nectarines. jejeje
😀
Is it true that Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Chocolate is being re-launched with a cheese flavour?
PS dont drink Tetley now, I switched to beer:P

bird nest soup? made with bird spittle? me? not in a thousand years would i eat that. i’m the Slow Food guru who is about to launch the next food revolution in Costa Rica which will be called Sloth Food! you can read the article i wrote about this when Neotropica (the new online magazine for CR and CA) is launched in March.
Well, this is a great thread. Scott, we tried Marmite in New Zealand. For breakfast. A taste really. We left it on our plates in NZ.
We tried Lizano in Costa Rica (along with gallo pinto) for breakfast. We now have 6 large liter-size bottles in our pantry. We found a Latino Super market that stocks it in Winston-Salem. Lizano, like Heinz Ketchup, hits ALL the taste receptors: Sweet, salty, tangy, little touch of bitter, etc. Several of our local (North Carolina) friends are also great aficionados. BTW gallo pinto has become a staple, our kids LOVE it.
Who’s mate? Marmite! Mi amigo? Lizano!I suppose that I should have mentioned my own personal items that I would prefer buying locally in Costa Rica, rather than bringing them from Canada. I might have thrown some folks off with all this talk about cheese spread. I’m a tree hugger at heart and most of my clothing is made from hemp or bamboo. I realize that hemp production, as in the US, is taboo(really silly as you can’t get high on the strain used for clothes), but wondered if locally grown bamboo is manufactured into sheets or clothing in Costa Rica.
If you’ve ever worn bamboo shirts or slept in bamboo sheets, you will understand why I ask.
It wicks very well and remains as soft as the day it was bought. So far, I’ve only come up with bamboo furniture made in CR on the internet, so would really appreciate it if anyone can tell me if there are companies producing bamboo linen in CR.i agree with you, bamboo fabic is the wave of the future. i don’t have bamboo sheets, but i do have bamboo dish towels. bamboo fabric is great for people with allergies. tuesday i am going to a bamboo plantation so i will ask the owner if he knows anyone who is producing fabric here.

CALADANA, Please pass the gallo pinto.Hello,
Has anyone seen instant pudding for sale here in Costa Rica? I love to make good ole Southern banana pudding. Or Colby Jack cheese? As to the Rib eye steak, I bought one last week at Mas por Menos and it was good but didn’t have that distinctive Rib Eye steak flavor.
Thanks,
Steve
better to make the pudding from scratch. the other stuff is nothing but chemicals. as for the steaks, it probably wasn’t aged. they don’t usually do that here. you’d have to go to a real high=end butcher, maybe don fernando’s(?) to get aged beef. also the beef here is grassfed, so that changes the texture and flavor; it also makes the beef less acid.
Otay…….just how much in the way of packaged “foodstuffs” can be reasonably brought in our shipping container? (And no, I don’t mean enough to stock the shelves of the local pulperia (sp?)) I would like to bring some favorite teas/spices etc., to get us started. I know that this is generally done with checked luggage, but does anyone have any experience with including this in a shipping container? Thx! Sue
