i know quite a few people who ...good morning reid!<br /><br />i know quite a few people who haven't eaten ceviche. it's actually quite a dodgy proposition, eating something that's only cooked by marinating it in lemon or vinegar; i myself won't eat it in restaurants unless i'm sure they pre-cook the meat, or i'm assured of the quality of the kitchen. the original recipe for this *doesn't* call for pre-cooking, but i don't feel like accidentally poisoning anyone....<br /><br />when i was writing this post originally, i checked to see if this was a universal food item, but i've read that its roots are latino. i don't quite have a grip on the whole latino vs latin vs hispanic thing, but i'm pretty sure latino refers to central and south american countries, *not* iberian countries like spain and portugal. so, even though the spanish and portuguese explorers left their extensive influence throughout asia, it was the peruvians and ecuadorians who brought ceviche to spain and the philippines....<br /><br />arrgh. sunday morning, i'm writing a history paper--quick, someone pass me the funny papers :-)<br /><br />having said that mouthful, i think most countries that have seafood as a staple have some version of it without the latino influence, as vinegar is a widely used preservative....isn't it?santos.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15941170936050458728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154048.post-1089498767940562022004-07-11T08:32:00.000+10:002004-07-11T08:32:00.000+10:00Santos,
