  1. Gorgeous. You should consider opening a little taco shop there - you would make a killing with this thing you call flavor!

    Yeah I've been talking with my friend a lot about putting something together. Especially in this little town of Mal Pais people would flip for a cheap taco fills with flavor. Just offer one kind and sell out every day then go surf!

  2. Fed up with the lack of food in Costa Rica with any damn flavor I made tacos for a bunch of locals and they freaked out.

    "What is that???"

    "....flavor"

    Carnitas braised in papaya, mango and spices. Salsa fresca, natilla and kolrabi sprouts from the garden.

  3. When I get so much good product like that I often look for ways to cook and store in bulk and artichoke barigoule is the way I would go with a good portion of those. Beautiful by the way! I'm a spoiled California boy when it comes to chokes.

  4. I'm sure this is a longshot but I'm leaving today to stay with a farmer friend for 2 weeks in Mal Pais. It's on the southern tip of the Nicoya peninsula.

    Again, a long shot but has anyone had any experience staying around that area with any recommendations? I know he'll have some spots but wondering if this community has any input. I know it's a big surf destination but they've decided to keep it a small town atmosphere.

    All the posts I looked up on here people really weren't turned on by Costa Rican food, hope my experience is better.

  5. Luckily I live right across the bay from that Zuni chicken. Been going there since I was a little kid!

    Salmon mi cuit, brined in salt water for 15 minutes and poached at 104 degrees for 1 hour. Satsuma-champagne buerre blanc with terragon and chives.

  6. The potato foam we make at work contains Xanthan gum, ultratex and lecithin. It's pretty stable, but not to a point where it stands up high, it tends to relax onto the plate.

    It's odd to me to use Xanthan AND Ultratex. I switched from Xanthan to Ultratex for everything and never looked back.
