  • Like every other condiment it should be used in quantity and where appropriate

    I hate too much of it (that goes for any herb or spice) but it’s totally needed to elevate some dishes, at least in our gastronomy (portugal)

    Everything with seafood, even some pork stews.

    But just a little

    Oh and you can chop the stalks to incorporate at the beginning frying part (refogado we call it, what’s the english word?) then just use some leaves as decoration and olfactory bliss







  • Every fruit from big supermarkets tastes like chemicals, looks shiny like you say and they’re all the same size. Also they pick them when they’re not ripe a refrigerate them, so an apple lasts like 3 days outside the fridge before you open it and it’s rotten inside. The good fruit and vegetables come from local markets. It’s less convenient and sometimes even more expensive but you get to taste and benefit from the better nutritional content.


  • Yeah I can live without bananas. They’re not indigenous* to where I’m from (Portugal) so it makes little sense for me to pay for shipping from other countries while inevitably letting some go to spoil. There’s plenty of other fruit I can eat without making a bigger carbon footprint

    *actually we have a variety of bananas from madeira island which is Portuguese. They are smaller than your regular banana but make up for it in taste cause they’re delicious (regular imported bananas don’t taste like much)
