Thanks for kind words, Veronika! I'll have to do a strudel-stretching cartoon...wonderful subject. There's a tradition of stretched strudel-type pastry in southern France too, as you prob know. In Sarlat (Dordogne), I remember a Christmas tart, croustade de pommes, layered with butter on the base, filled with apples and crushed hazelnuts, the top crust crumpled like tissue paper - gorgeous.
How fun and entertaining to read about cooking, regional cuisine and life “across the pond”! What a delightful addition on my favorite subjects, food and travel!
My mom makes such a delicious caldo verde. She learnt it from Portuguese neighbours in north Brazil. In fact I grew up eating quite a few Portuguese dishes that my mom learnt from those neighbours. Found out much later in life their origin.

Welcome to substack Elisabeth!
Welcome, Theresa - happy that you're here!
Thanks Valentina! Does your mom also make an açorda with (or without) bacalhau or stockfish? Arroz sucio with burnt onion - so delicious and simple?
