From memory it was poached eggs with hollandaise and pistachio on top of sweet black waffles layered with peanuts, prawn salad and raspberry yoghurt and some nachos thrown at it. Each part was nice enough, not one part went with the other.
It’s actually avocado, onion, jalapeño peppers, garlic, tomatoes and there’s nothing snobbish about it. It’s peasant food in Mexico and Southern California
Yeah it's mashed and seasoned. Peasant food taken and renamed to make it sound better than it is. Pretty much like all peasant foods are. Stale bread and left over tomatoes, bruschetta. Wasn't it the same for Paella originally, all the leftover **** chucked together. Bubble and Squeak, left over potatoes and veg. Probably loads more examples I can't think of right now.
It’s not been renamed though, that’s just the Mexican name for it. and yeah it’s peasant food, cheap and abundant. Like lots of the examples you’ve given.
My old man used to love that. ****ing grim stuff. But it reminded him of his boyhood so I guess it had sentimental value.
Pizza one of the oldest Peasant foods, leftover flour, cheese that has gone soggy and a bit of tomato that stopped people starving during the winter God bless Italian Americans
Can just imagine the waiters pissing themselves at this Welsh **** with stars tattooed on his arm ordering that.
Here’s a fun food fact. The Italians learned how to air dry meats from the Cornish. So things like Salami and Prosciutto are in fact derived from Cornwall. hear me out As the story goes, the ancient Phoenicians and people from what is now the Mediterranean used to sail up the bay of Biscay to trade with the people in what became the Celtic lands of Cornwall, northwest France and Ireland. (You have to remember that for lots of cultures sailing up from the Mediterranean, Cornwall was the start of the land rather then the end of the land as we see it today) In particular they used to trade Tin ore with the ancient people of Cornwall as it was abundant here and they turned it into Bronze using copper. And hence the Bronze Age was born, both here and across what is now known as Europe. Apparently, the Phonecians (who in turn were eventually assimilated by the Romans) learned how to preserve meats by air drying from seeing what the native people of the Celtic lands or Belerion as west cornwall was known, we’re doing to preserve meats. Having said all of that, there are no records to support any of this and the Roman’s have some evidence of their development of air dried meats (sausages) which made good food to supply soldiers with, so it could all be bollocks lol.
Unsalted mixed nuts and seeds, full of good fats and protein but **** loads of calories too., a small handful is about 200 calories.
**** me, all of that just to say "Having said all of that, there are no records to support any of this" at the end
