Odeliza Jacoba Recipes

Mahalo Chicos,

I try to go to the super mercado at least once a week, where before during my Personal Chef business I would go about ah, every day. So once a week is a relaxer for me. It’s so funny because from the produce clerk through the check out clerk they always say to me in Spanish, “Cuando Tiempo?” which basically means “it’s been a while.” That just goes to show how often I go.

Anyways, now on the rare occasion that I do shop for groceries I am always on the look out for their new products. Specially pertaining to items Vegetarian and familiar products such as Cheddar Cheese, Hot Sauce and the likes.

This time, I spotted vegan products which is rather “rare” in Montevideo, Uruguay. For this country prides its self with free range-grazed cattle. Where most bistros consider Ham as the other vegetarian option. Get the point?

Located in the freezer section in between the frozen fish and frozen vegetables there is a rather tiny section on vegan foods.

I spotted some battered soy patties, plain soy patties and soy dogs. Not quite the type to purchase frozen foods, I had to buy all three and give it a try.

I am a bit scared to prepare it. For I have no idea what these flavors consist of and if I were to prepare a meal I’d want to at least know what the heck I am using.

So, I think before I even incorporate said products into any recipes I am going to just taste it plain.  I’ll let you know what I find and what you can do with these soy products if such things can be done.

Till then.

Ciao,
