We are back in the Caribbean once again, as we continue down the merry path of The Bread & Soup Project. This time, we are in Cuba, the island nation we have probably heard about in political rhetoric more than any other country that isn’t a world power. Located a mere 90 miles from the southern… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #44 – Cuba
When I was born, slightly over six decades ago, there was this moderately large country just east of Italy called Yugoslavia. I didn’t know it at the time, as such things were not among my daily concerns, but it was a cobbled together post-WWI country that merged regions that had been considered Croat, Serb, and… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #43 – Croatia
Because if feels like forever since I did a pizza round-up, though it’s actually only been two months, and I’ve fit in a couple of pizzerias here and there in the Bite Marks and other posts. But, pizza! This place has been on my radar for… ever. It has to be at least five years,… Read More Pile o’Pizza
In quick succession, The Bread & Soup Project moves on to the Central American nation of Costa Rica. A place I’ve been! I’ve even cooked a pop-up dinner there. On to our usual quick national summary. A relatively small country, coming in at 19,700 square miles, comfortably fitting inside of West Virginia, or if we’re… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #42 – Costa Rica
Raise your hand if you know anything about Comoros other than that, perhaps, it’s some islands, somewhere. Because that’s about as much as I knew about the country. I didn’t even know it was a country, I just thought it was some islands, somewhere, that belonged to another country. Officially the Union of Comoros, it’s a group… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #41 – Comoros
The Roving Ravenous Horde struggles on…. For those of you not familiar with my weekly lunch group, the start of it all, now almost four years ago, was at an unassuming little milanesa spot, La Pulperia del Cottoro, in Boedo. Now, as we approached our 100th outing, I wanted to do something special. But I missed one… Read More Surf ‘n Turf with The Horde
In which we… oh, you know the drill already. Urbano Cocina Americana, Cabrera 5502, Palermo. There’s an attempt to be a sort of all encompassing “American casual food” spot, akin to a vague knockoff on something like Hard Rock or TGIF at this relatively new spot (last year during the pandemic). From an extensive menu… Read More Bite Marks #88
We’re back in South America on The Bread & Soup Project, and in the country on the continent closest to the majority of the US. It’s a country that I’d venture when most Americans think about it, they think in terms of drug cartels and guerilla fighting. And while there’s no question that those form… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #40 – Colombia
