What's that?pico
Pico de gallo. A chunky salsa made of roma tomatoes, onions, lime juice, cilantro, maybe a few other things like jalapenos.What's that?
D'oh... of course. I know what pico de gallo is.Pico de gallo. A chunky salsa made of roma tomatoes, onions, lime juice, cilantro, maybe a few other things like jalapenos.
Man I don't want to criticize but I was thinking how could a person NOT know what Pico is!D'oh... of course. I know what pico de gallo is.
I had never seen it abbreviated, so I thought you were talking about something else. Also, plenty of people here in the Netherlands are completely unaware of the existence of pico de gallo. It's just not a thing here.Man I don't want to criticize but I was thinking how could a person NOT know what Pico is!
This is actually true. Food-wise, lots of people here are very stuck in their boring ways. BUT you can also get excellent Indonesian and Surinam food here, among other, less common, "exotic" cuisines.That's because the Netherlands is a hopelessly backward place full of food philistines.
I was mostly joking, but i did find Norway to be similar when I lived there. You can get good food, but it's not ingrained in the way people cook.This is actually true.

What I've tried of Norse food was pretty good, but not "exotic". There's good, non-"exotic", traditional Dutch dishes, but the way "ordinary" people prepare their own food is rather boring. Of course, it varies with age group, income level, educational level, ethnicity, etc.I was mostly joking, but i did find Norway to be similar when I lived there.

Fun fact: pico de gallo means "rooster's beak." It's also not just one thing except maybe outside Mexico. (What it is in Mexico depends on where you are.) But next time you're out my way you should visit Casa de Pico--apply your sunscreen so you can dine on the patio!I had never seen it abbreviated, so I thought you were talking about something else.
That's why another name for it is salsa bandera.Another fun fact: the main ingredients of pico de gallo represent the colors of the Mexican flag (red tomatoes, white onion and green chilli and cilantro)
It’s hilarious, then, how many people make it with red onions.I have plenty of pico de gallo whenever we're in Mexico, but that place does look nice.

Oh man those look good. Replace the pico with a good hot sauce and I’m there. I love pico, but have a weird thing about tomatoes with eggs.
It looks like ants. Are you sure it's not ants?Two days, two separate breakfasts:
Plain toasted bagels with smoked salmon cream cheese and black capelin caviar

Ants are crunchier and have a more acrid flavor.
This is what we've been making in class this week:

Shrimp Po-Boy Sandwich
It was the best sandwich we made, but for some reason it was the least popular sadly. Since it's a learning restaurant everything is cheaper than you would normally find. You'd think that since shrimp is expensive peopl would want to get the Po'Boy but that was the second least popular. The Pesto chicken and an un-pictured Sabich were the most popular.Giganotosaurus Cubano is like my favorite sandwich. It's so good.
Interesting, there isn't any kind of "Brazil only" sandwiches?I really wish we could find a bit more variety in sandwiches here in Brazil. Of the above, you might find the first at an upscale-ish place (not so upscale that they don’t have sandwiches but not your average greasy spoon either). We don’t do smoked brisket and have nothing like the cubano or the po’ boy locally.
We do have one cool old school sort of place with some amazing sandwiches (that are not burgers — we have hundreds of hipster-run burger-and-craft-beer places nowadays — nor lowbrow bodega fare like grilled cheese with ham or a thin sirloin steak inside a bread roll), but it’s on a crap part of town and delivery just doesn’t do it justice.
