EG is like Costco for me. Go in to buy a few things and end up w/ a cart full of stuff.

HA! And when you get home you realize you forgot something because you were distracted by the new and shiny things!

@PorkyBelly’s conservas power rankings:
- squid (love how they detach the tentacles from the mantle and expertly pack it back into the squid’s empty body cavity)
- anchovies
- razor clams
- octopus
- mussels
ate with rice or whatever leftover bread i could find.

Wait. What?
Nice haul @Dommy!
Hey, that’s a lot of Ortiz tuna! Did you happen to see if any of it was Ventresca? I had that once and it was pretty amazing.
Just the one in the white box for $13.34. None of the Ortiz was ventresca

@hppzz have the Ravenous Couple made Sardines in Tomato Sauce with lots of Black Pepper the proper treatment and respect? I feel that dish is so Vietnamese they don’t serve it at restaurants lol make that shit yourself at home right!

YEP! The La Brujula
As you can see I picked up two because I got some last time and it was stunning. I look forward to trying it in more dishes… I used it to make a Ceacoise Salad… and it was delicate but really flavorful to bring the salad together.

I could not resist getting one of those butters… I got the Yuzu one and WOW. The flavor is spectacular. Not overwhelming like some other flavored butters I have tried… but genuine wonderful flavor within the butter. Wonder what the Sichuan is going to taste like!

Most pple probably just get it from a can and get a good Banh mi to stuff it in. But we did make something similar with mackerel a neighbor caught for us.

Agree that tuna is superb. I have used it for Salade Nicoise and this salad, Ensalada de Tomate con Ventresca de Atún (Spanish-Style Tomato and Ventresca Tuna Salad) Recipe.
Great looking jammy eggs in your pic!

Evidently I’m now a conservas fan. I found one frozen demi baguette the perfect companion to 1 tin of these delicious scallops.

I sent a bunch of the conservas from Epicure Imports to a extraordinary appreciative giftee and in addition to La Brujula items I sent her, her favorite were these stuffed squids… So don’t miss out!
