“Peruvian Section” at the supermarket!!! That makes me turn as green as a tomatillo, – envy roaring its ugly head -, supermarkets here have at most a “Chinese-Mexican” Sections, some Indian spices thrown in. I am slowly forgetting how ancho chilis are supposed to taste like, my favorites back home in the US, never seen around here.

Hi Charlotte! I know you’ve already gone through the C’s for CORN, but if you ever do the alphabet again, these corn tortillas are great! And of course, you can make them regardless

Hi Winedeb - fried oyster taco, my twist on a favorite around here, the Baja taco, popular in Baja California.

Hi Kelly - thanks. Mexican food, gotta love it!

Hi Maryann - oh, I knew you would!

Hi Mary - did you make oyster tacos?

Hi Amy - I bet now that you are aware of the Peruvian foods you will notice them at the market. Let me know what you make.
An award, for me, how nice! Thank you!

You are amazing! My Texas sensibilities are in awe now that I know you make your own corn tortillas!!!

You have a Peruvian section at your supermarket?!?! San Jose isn't as culturally diverse as LA.... Although, perhaps I'm not looking in the right places. OK - I'm on a mission to find Aji Amarillo this week.

p.s. Great post! I'm so inspired. Oh, and I have an award for you.

I’m late to the party. What a wonderful blog you have. We’re in Florida right now, and have a plethora of fresh oysters…this looks like dinner tomorrow night!

Hi Kristen – Welcome! I think mixing the Mexican Baja and Peruvian ingredients make it an interesting combination too.

Hi Peter – fried oysters, raw oysters, oysters Rockefeller…I’ll take them any way. Love ‘em too!
I’m waiting on a recipe for Oysters Rockefeller Soup!
One day my whole kitchen will be in marble.

Hi Jessy – making homemade tortillas is such a great addition to this already delicioso dish. You would be great at it with your fine dough handling skills.
