I love seafood. There is little I’ve eaten from the depths that I have not enjoyed. Piure was no different, but it was by far the oddest creature from the sea I’d ever consumed. Piure, known more inappropriately and not a name I necessarily enjoy, as it steers people further away, is ‘period rock’. While … More Piure – Chilean Edibles
I’ve had the luxury or misfortune, depending on your view, of visiting the Snake Village in Le Mat, Hanoi on 3 separate occasions. Each experience was different, with one commonality.
