This is what the homeless guy Roberto told me was his diet.
He also said that his liver could not afford to process a single molecule of malt
anymore, so he sais he quitted. That was yesterday at 3:00 PM
With the end of El Bullie these folks are probably at the top of the tall food chain. 585 euros for lunch for 2 and one bottle of wine (ouch!).

Our mexican is limited. Mostly 20-30 seat places, very little English, which you would think is a good thing but every time I point at the picture on the menu, I seem to get something else, or it certainly appears that way.
Everybody knows if you want Mexican you have to go to Maine: El El Frijoles in Sargentville / Sedgwick, Maine: A Mexican food restaurant on the Blue Hill Peninsula
Walnut Grove Cookery Class in Loire Valley - where foodies go to brush up on their trade-craft
French holiday cookery courses, Gourmet vacations in France
- I'm not sure I want to know the total cost including travel etc - but hey, I've been on a total of 2 or 3 Caribbean cruises that cost of couple of grand each and were memorably forgettable
Jules was a gourmet cook before this - I'm not so sure my mostly vegetarian alimentary tract can handle this coming Thanksgiving or X-Mas dinner - but I'll give it a shot just to get to the deserts.
Not food I cooked but delicious all the same: Natal Plums. They taste like a combination of a cranberry, raspberry and a plum. When ripe they take on a deep red color abd the more ripe the fruit the more pronounced the cranberry raspberry flavors.
The plant itself is basically the who's who list of traits indicating a poisonous plant. Milky sap, thorns, bright red fruit, related to other toxic plants (oleander, dogbane, etc). In reality the fruit is non-toxic and the plant is only mildly toxic at best. The flowers smell very similar to jasmine. While the thorns have a characteristic double thorn. The fruit is rather fragile and when cut will have a red or milky juice. The milkyness is a natural edible latex, similar to what is found in figs, and the amount varies from plant to plant. It's actually a commonly used decorative plant in many areas as the thorns provide a degree of intrusion protection while the flowers smell wonderful. Most people don't realize the fruit is edible.

Interesting it appears Karonda is a related species, both in the Carissa family. I guess you could change that sentence then to most Americans don't know they are edible.
Another thing I like about the natal plum, it's name outside of English speaking countries is the Large Num Num.
