Time for our next entry in the great Bread & Soup Project! Brazil! Being our neighbor, and having at least a passing familiarity with the food, I thought, picking out the appropriate bread and soup would be easy. But then, Brazil is a massive country, with regional culinary differences that vary from Portuguese to African to… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #26 – Brazil

It really shouldn’t have been a surprise that the soups and stews of Botswana have a strong European influence, in particular Dutch and English, after all, there has been a historical presence of both – in particular the British, from whose colonization Botswana only gained independence in 1966. I would say that from what I’ve been… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #25 – Botswana

Serbs, Croats, Bosniaks, in-fighting, protests, concentration camps, riots – that’s pretty much what most of us likely think of when we hear about Bosnia and Herzegovina (well, we hear about Bosnia… has anyone ever said the word “herzegovina” to you in polite company?). When I was growing up it was part of Yugoslavia. It’s only been… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #24 – Bosnia & Herzegovina

Ah, someplace a little closer to home for a change.

Sooner or later I was going to hit a country that I had… even still have… virtually no concept of, nor… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #22 – Bhutan

We’re back up to the Caribbean, and this time, the Bread & Soup Project heads to Bermuda. The island is a British Overseas Territory, which, I gather, means it has its own government, constitution, and laws, as regards anything domestic, but anything foreign, i.e., defense and foreign relations, is handled by the UK. It’s not exactly a… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #21 – Bermuda

It’s been awhile, but I have some solo time at home for a couple of weeks, so I’m going to do some delving into the different recipe projects here. I’m sure I’ll still do some eating out, but it’s a good chance to just play around in the kitchen without a lot of distractions. Next… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #20 – Benin

I have too many projects going on, that’s all there is to it. But, I’ll still circle back to the ones that seem to have disappeared, at least now and again. You’d think, as much as I love soup, that The Bread & Soup Project would stay front and center, no? So, what do we… Read More The Bread & Soup Project #19 – Belize
