In quick succession, The Bread & Soup Project moves on to the Central American nation of Costa Rica. A place I’ve been! I’ve even cooked a pop-up dinner there. On to our usual quick national summary. A relatively small country, coming in at 19,700 square miles, comfortably fitting inside of West Virginia, or if we’re… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #42 – Costa Rica

Raise your hand if you know anything about Comoros other than that, perhaps, it’s some islands, somewhere. Because that’s about as much as I knew about the country. I didn’t even know it was a country, I just thought it was some islands, somewhere, that belonged to another country. Officially the Union of Comoros, it’s a group… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #41 – Comoros

We’re back in South America on The Bread & Soup Project, and in the country on the continent closest to the majority of the US. It’s a country that I’d venture when most Americans think about it, they think in terms of drug cartels and guerilla fighting. And while there’s no question that those form… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #40 – Colombia

The first really huge country with so many different cuisines that it’s nigh on impossible to find common ground between them. China. I’m not going to go into the whole geographical part of this – though maybe a couple of notes. It is, perhaps surprisingly, smaller than the United States, not by much, but it’s… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #39 – China

Where are we today? We’re at our neighbors to the west, Chile. It’s a very long country north to south, but a very narrow one east to west, and runs along the Pacific coast of South America, from its southernmost tip to where it meets up with Peru – most of its eastern border is with… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #38 – Chile

We continue our run in Africa, which is just how the alphabetical “randomization” of this project had it turn out. This time, we’re in Chad, the immediate neighbor to the north of our last entry in the Bread & Soup Project, the Central African Republic. What do we need, or want, to know about this… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #37 – Chad

We’re once again in Africa, dead center of the continent, in the appropriately named Central African Republic. Yet another country that most of us know little about I’d imagine. It’s a relatively young country, in the sense that until the late 1800s it was not defined by a single border, but various parts of it belonged… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #36 – Central African Republic

Picking up steam, I can feel it… It looks like we have a run of African countries going on here (though, if I hadn’t done Canada out of order, we’d be there right now) with Cameroon, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, and Chad. I’ll try to keep the posts as varied as the cuisines! So,… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #35 – Cape Verde
