... or do you?

Mimi Jardim's Cooking the Portuguese Way - In South Africa.

Found it when we went to a great fishmongers today that DH spotted on his
'travels' and said I'd love. He was right.

Ahem, we went there to buy some sole, yeah right... US$184.00 later, we
staggered to the car with our booty... Mitigation, not only do they have a
wonderful selection of fish and seafood - hey, they even had live oysters
in a tank; this is an Amazing Thing in the Johannesburg area <Cathy waves
to boli> but I discovered that they stock all sorts of other imported
goodies too. Saw some Mae Ploy stuff there <Cathy waves to Steve>, and
many other foodie delights e.g. pickled ginger (gari), a wonderful
selection of imported soy sauces, olive oils etc. etc. <drool>

Anyway, on the way out I spotted the above mentioned cookbook (can't wait
to try the recipes) on a stand near the checkout... Also picked up a copy
of "Fish in a Flash" which is a 'homemade' cookbook (think
photocopies/ring binders) that is produced by the WIZO Johannesburg ladies
- some good stuff in there too.

Heh. I have no room left in my freezer (and DH has hidden his credit card
from me), or I'd go back there again tomorrow

I found a variant of this yesterday. SO and I went to the Spanish Table
and I found Cuisines of Portuguese Encounters, by Cherie Hamilton. This
book contains recipes from Portugal and its former colonies, such as
Brazil, Angola, and Cape Verde. I'd seen this cookbook several years
ago at Spanish Table, but they didn't stock it again until just now.
(Revised, expanded edition.)

That sounds fascinating. How about Macao? IIRC, that is how egg tarts
came to be part of dim sum.
