That was a pretty cool read. It definitely had a retro vibe but talked about stuff that still gets talked about in food writing for the commoner: cilantro v culantro - how many random articles/essays have I seen on that topic?! And honestly I still probably couldn't remember the difference if someone asked me....maybe this essay will stick in my brain. At least I'm not in the soapy cilantro group. ha! Oh and why have I never had cold avocado soup ? It sounds pretty bomb. As does all the other dishes at this meal. Thanks for sharing and keep on tippy tapping away, I'm here for it.

I'm not in the soapy cilantro group. But, I am in the avocado itchy mouth group. LOL!

Very interesting read, thanks for sharing it! I never knew they added ham to the sofrito.

These days most people seem to add a ham-flavored seasoning packet. Which is kind of hilarious because when I told them I spoke to an elder woman about how she added actual ham to her sofrito, they sort of turned their nose up to the idea. LOL!
