I haven't heard anything interesting on the news since last week-end but this story of horse meat disguised as beef in Europe. Well, can we be fooled to recognise our beet from radish I wonder?
Beetroot is red and sweet and horseradish is white or grey and spicy!
I don't trust anything disguised as a meat product like minced, gravy, stock cubes, sausages, etc.
If I really have to eat meat, I need to see the animal with its head, eyes, mouth and body before it dies.
This reminds me of my experience when I was to enter my first supermarket in London. Overwhelmed by the variety and the brands, I took 3 hours to do my first shopping. It was some time gone before I realised that a white piece of meat rapped up in a plastic was called fish. No head, no tail, I took it home to cook, but then again it tasted like blunt rubber chicken! Sorry to say but I come from the jungle and everything has a taste!
But enough of that, today, I would like to introduce to you my avocado plant.
After litchis and mangoes, February is the season for avocado and peaches. Yes, I love avocado.
My first avocado meal today is a simple cut open avocado with red rice and green leaf vegetables. It was yummy! I usually eat an avocado as it is but I learnt from the west that it can be served as a starter. Mixed with vinaigrette sauce, salt and pepper. In Mexico, I had the famous guacamole but in Madagascar, we have it sweet for dessert. When in season, I eat avocado 7 days in a row. I try not to eat any other fat of any form during that period since even the butter on my bread is avocado!
If you would like to know more about what you are eating, you can always google everything. Here is one place I found interesting about avocado nutrients.
