I've been sharing some of our experiences with friends and family since the project has started, but as the project grows, more and more people we have never met are taking an interest, and so I thought I would start a blog to tell you a bit more about the project as it happens. I won't promise to blog every day, but let's see what happens.
A side effect of the project is that Toby is becoming far more interested in food from different cultures, this became apparent big time when we made pierogi last week, prior to writing to our letter to Poland. Since then, we have also found an Asian supermarket in York, where we explored jackfruit chips from Vietnam, and "umbrella cookies" from Taiwan. Yesterday, we wrote to Eritrea, and our country research introduced us to "injera", which is made from "teff" - I have to admit that I had heard of neither, so I'm the first to admit that I have a lot to learn about the world, too! We'll be sharing pictures of our own creation once the teff flour has arrived (yes, we did order some!), until then, here's a picture from "antanukai" (shared via Flickr under Creative Commons License: http://www.flickr.com/photos/21723018@N07/)
