Only? Forgive me if you've already explained this, but why is it exactly that produce is so expensive in Korea?

all your produce belong to us. and you ship to us. and we protest sometimes and then we pay hyundai and samsung and we r poor and brown skinned and pay $5 for an avocado and $100 for a bottle of Bowmore 12y

OK, now I completely understand. Thanks.

haha. gonna be in America in about 2 months from now, going to eat well, but more excited about cooking well for my mother. Given what I am used to paying for ingredients, there are no holds barred at this point.

has anyone ever tried avocados and (canned) sardines? it's an old adria combination and it works great.

impolyt_one · Apr 13, 2011

If I liked sardines, I'd probably be on board with that. I really like Comte cheese grilled on an avocado half.

Haven't tried the combination, personally, but I remember seeing an episode of Good Eats where Alton Brown explains how he used them to aid in his weight loss efforts. http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/01/a...wich-diet.html

Wow, that looks great. She is one of the most consistent recipe writers out there, isn't she?

Thanks. Cool flickr too.

In the Kramer book, he talks about poaching half an avocado, putting a poached egg in the hole, and serving with bernaise. Sounds delicious.

mm84321 · Apr 13, 2011

OK, potentially dumb question, but what happens to an avocado when you poach it?

kwilkinson · Apr 13, 2011

It's just to warm it through. Technically not poaching.
