Ketchup's Profile
cipolle selvagge
Amazing, I lived through exactly the same scene with my Italian market vendor here in Brussels! Didn't want to sell me because I didn't know how to prepare them, and neither did he. He even claimed there was nothing about them on the internet.
Well he was wrong: http://www.lampascione.it
Enjoy the many recipes.
Jellyfish Salad?
I agree. Easy to use (cut in julienne, desalt then quick poach by quenching with boiling water: 15 sec. Done). Like eating tagliatelle with a crunch. Jellyfish is utterly tasteless and therefore fits with every type of dressing.
Unfortunate foreign food names or brands
The other way round:
The English word 'bite', means penis in French (pronounced 'bit'). I remember being sent a picture of a sausage shaped pack of dogfood from US or canada, branded "Mega-bite". It indeed looked like one.
