Today I went to the Feira da Providência, an annual fair selling national and international crafts and food with beautiful things from around Latin America but as well the Middle East and Aisa. There was no German stand selling anything from Kuckucks clocks to nutcrackers or whatever is typical. But there was a German food stall or at least something remotely looking like a German sausage joint decorated with German flags.
Having not had a single German sausage in the last 4 month, I thought I will give my country man some support and order from them. But not a single German around, all Brazilian staff and none of them even remotely new anything about Germany, German food or language. I had to spell and translate the German words on their menu, such as “Knoblauchwürstchen” meaning little garlic sausages and we had a good laugh together trying the right pronunciation! Unfortunately the culinary experience was less fortunate – I think my sausage roll must have been the worst ever.
But its Friday – time for another Latin American favorite drink, the Peruvian Pisco Sour for 2
- 150-200 ml Peruvian Pisco liquor
- 60ml lime juice
- 2 tbs white sugar
- 1 very fresh egg white
- 15-20 ice cubes
Mix all ingredients together in a blender until ice is crushed and the egg white has developed into a nice foam at the top. Distribute into two glasses.
I also very much like the Pisco Maracuja where you replace the lime juice for passion fruit juice and pulp and blend it the same way.
Or if your are very serious about your cocktail you go the way these Brazilian girls went – a large maracuja vodka! We used to share large ice creams this way! Unfortunately I did not witness them finishing it!
