Hi Spinner and thanks.

Fish eyes and prawn head sucking are perhaps no to everyone's taste but your love of fish is something that neilmac shares, although I am a little more fish fussy preferring it without shell or bones. We are hoping for something nice when we get to Altura tomorrow. Fish isn't on the menu much as due to being on aires mostly we cannot cook outside, although we have had sardines, tuna, and salmon along the way,

Recipes are always welcome. We tend to have mostly one pot, stuff but do enjoy the occasional meat in sauce and veg. One of our faves is pork in picallili with mash.

You got me also to thinking of the more unusual foods that people enjoy and wonder if anyone knows what is done with chicken feet and yucca plant often seen in Iberian supermarkets.

Thai minced chicken and green beans will do for us tonight. Yummy

Hi Caro
In Taiwan, skewered Parson Nose, Duck Blood Jelly and chickens feet are all revered. Ducks Blood Jelly takes a bit of getting used to as it is served the same way as the raspberry jelly we had as kids. Wobbly!
The chickens feet are a bit chewy and without the tasty sauce they put on them there is not much flavour, you just have to watch that you don’t get the bits of claw nail stuck in your teeth!.
One of the pleasures of travelling in the MH is that you get the opportunity to try local food or cook with what is available from the markets. As many know, people in other countries eat all the bits of the animal, especially those in Eastern Europe when food used to be scarce.

Have good lunch in Altura, Pulpo, or Chipirones perhaps?
