What about mustard greens? Berzas is a brassica, no?

I´m using turnip greens. It works. Mustard greens do as well, except they´re tremendously bitter. I mixed both one time.

I´m bitching about no Asturian chorizo, no Asturian morcilla, and no fabes or fabas. The closest thing is the Great Northern, but it´s NOT the same. There´s an Italian cousin of the faba, which is here in cans, but I don´t do canned.

smoked chicken salad on those little round, multi grain thingys and some more stuff with generic urnge flavored crystal light.

Have heard good things, but let me know what you had and what you think. We need to come over and try it and your opinion is important to me

i will. i left a short review from last night's dinner at lost pizza company in last night's wfdt. i'm looking forward to the manship house. this was a last-minute decision and we don't have reservations so there's a chance we may have to alter our plans.

eta: we enjoyed manship house. we didn't have reservations and it was a packed house so we sat a the bar and had several rounds of beers while we waited for a table. their beer selection is good as is there liquor/whiskey including pappy 20 yr etc.

we got seated after about an hour wait (which is what we were told to expect upon arriving). we had the tuna dip ap which was good but different from what i was expecting--it was a smoked tuna fish dip as in tuna fish you'd put on a sandwich. it was served with little baguettes and saltines. very good. i had chargrilled oysters in lieu of a salad and my wife had the wedge. both were excellent. my wife got the red fish fisherman style which she said was "just like Cochon". i'd take that as a compliment. i went with the rabbit and sausage pasta because i was not terribly hungry (i was tempted to get the cowboy bone-in ribeye but couldn't handle it tonight). no dessert as we were both stuffed. looking forward to going again and trying something else--maybe even the pizzas which looked great.

I see. Check out spotted trotter in Atlanta. They have a solid chorizo espanol

---

This is a chorizo which is cured in a mountain type way, and with humidity. It´s not sliceable for table eating (like what most know here, which is Castillian and Extremaduran charcutería), but for cooking. It´s great fried and in some serious bread (not healthy, but absolutely great).


ETA Now that I think about it, I´ve got a nephew in Michigan, and there´s a gourmet place in Ann Arbor which does sell this stuff. DAMNIT!

Pics?
