What is great New Mexican food, exactly? How would you contrast it to West Texas/ Arizona “Southwest in general” food? Are you talking about Santa Fe/ Taos “cuisine”, Pueblo food, intoxicating,eye-burning...

Forgot to add that they also sell hot choc (24 different flavours, looks like prepackaged single servings whisked in hot water). The L’inimitabile tasted of giandujia, a seamless combination of hazelnut and chocolate. Yogurt...

for Bomba; it’s quite exact about the amount of water and rice. Has anyone used Montsia and if so what proportions did you use? I understand that different types of paella rice require different amounts of water; in fact,...
