In a stew paprika means Hungarian, Cumin makes it Mexican and Currie powder gives you Indian. Sure. In a stew paprika means Hungarian, Cumin makes it Mexican and Currie powder gives you Indian.

Locro and cassoulet are similar in many ways (slow cooked legumes with sausages and meats) and different (primarily in the corn and squash versus bean base, and spices) , though, I suppose one could say that of a variety of dishes from around the world when it comes down to that, no?

Locro is great, tastes a lot like casole (sp. french baked bean dish). Tamales are excellent also. Try 1810 @ Guatemala and Julian Alverez.

Much better than the ones at El Sanjuanino. I’ve never had the locro at Ña Serapia, but trust me when I say that their Tamales are some of the best in town.

In fact, it doesn’t surpass the very first locro I tried that Henry thought was barely edible. I doubt it would surpass a canned version from Campbell’s. It was little more than pureed squash with some corn, white beans, and gristly bits of meat and bacon. It was completely unseasoned. The only thing that made it palatable was the serving on the side of a sort of green onion salsa that wasn’t bad, a dish of hot pepper flakes, and a salt shaker. And it was still pretty uninteresting. I’ll stick with the 5 peso locros thank you. [...] [...] The locro, which has become a favorite stew, does not surpass the recipe I provided recently.
