It seems we are on a roll of things in common. We had “caldo verde “ my favourite Portuguese soup made with potatoes and a special “cabbage” which I grow in Dublin especially to make this soup. It normally has chorizo, but it is optional. And my favourite which I haven’t found here yet is Greens and Black 85% dark chocolate . Stopped buying salt one because it has more sugar! Lethal stuff.
There is, unfortunately, a fabulous brand of ‘artisan’ chocolate here! Apisierra. We are working through the flavours! Favourites to date are banana and aniseed! Lethal indeed 🍫
Wow Liz, very touching and super expressive. Many references connecting to my own experience. Torrential rains here in Portugal. Taking refuge in a small coffee shop. Then I read your poem. And the rain lifted !
Was a bit nervous posting this one - a bit exposing somehow! We have had downpours this morning here in Cazorla (Andalucia) too. I made a thick warming soup, mainly spinach and potato and I’ve eaten too much salty dark chocolate ☺️

I wonder if they have Apisierra here. I'll check . Still looking for the 85% dark delight! It's been four days without sugar. Just too much!

Thanks so much Xanda
