The beauty of variety!


Well so now with the recipe i decided to go with something very, very simple. So i was at work the other day making a chicken sandwich with avocado and sweet chilly sauce (which BTW is a beautiful combination) and i told my colleagues that in Brazil we eat Avocado with lemon and sugar, or that we blend it with milk and sugar for a creamy morning smoothie. Of course i was aware that in here they were not used to mix avocado and sugar on the same dish and it's basically a cultural thing. For the people of NZ as for a lot of people around the world Avocado, even though is a fruit, goes well for salads or like guacamole, which is typically Mexican but known around the entire globe nowadays. Getting to Mexico and trying avocado with salt and seasoned like salad was the first time for me, and it brought a whole different possibilities on those terms.

The recipe for what is in the pic above is as i said, very simple, get yourself a avocado, cut in half, scoop the "meat" out in a plate, squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top spread some sugar to your taste and vous-a-la, it goes beautiful as a sweet dish as much as it goes well as a salad.

I felt that it was important to address something simple like this for i think that the variety of ways and things to taste, see, listen, makes us interesting from one to another, and is definitely important to keep your mind open for trying things like this avocado, i for one have tried everything regarding food that anyone has offered me so far, and trying a traditional dish on the countries i passed by was necessary to complete my experience while being there!

cheers
