I'm glad that Food Network is going to have some food history that's not about candy for a change. <br /><br />Mike,<br /><br />They are good knives, aren't they? I've got one that's more of a short sword than a knife. You could behead an alligator with it.Benitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-67835411286379764002009-05-15T06:30:00.000-07:002009-05-15T06:30:00.000-07:00Ben

When I was a little kid I used to chew on all sorts of things, and would much prefer the drier flavors of oak or ash branches, a pencil, or the greatest salty, savory treat ever: the laces on my baseball mitt. <br /><br />Let the record state that I didn't have pica, I wasn't consuming any of these things, I just really liked to chew. <br /><br />As to the last bit of your comment, there are few things as wonderful and satisfying as fresh flat breads that are made with love. Whether you're talking about tortillas or pitas or naan or johnnycakes, they all bring a smile to my face. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-68899945018313603552009-05-14T19:02:00.000-07:002009-05-14T19:02:00.000-07:00Benito,

The little ladies in the open markets used to love giving to me, not sure my Grandparents loved it though! But much like you found out, it was a lot of work for not that much reward, I ended up being a junkie for the fresh hot tortillas the ladies would fold and shove in the, "little blondie with the dark skin and dirty bare feet's" pockets.Samantha Duganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05214278596698698245noreply@blogger.com
