I thought it would be a good idea to share some recipes from our differnet countries. I always like to try different foods. Here is a Scottish recipe that I tried the other day. Very tasty! Cranachan 600ml/ 1 pint double cream 75g/ 30oz. pinhead oatmeal, toasted 6 tablespoons whisky 3 tablespoons Scottish honey 500g/ 1 pound raspberries Put the oatmeal onto a metal tray under a hot grill, toast for 3 to 5 minutes. Take care that it does not burn. Leave to cool. Lightly whip the cream and fold in the whisky and honey, then fold in the oatmeal and berries. Pour into tall glasses and chill for at least 1 hour before serving, or overnight. Serves 4

I have a question? What are pinhead oats? I have heard of rolled oates, and steel cut oats but never pinhead oats.

Pinhead oats are really fine oats, the size of a pin head. I saw them in Tesco the other day. Don't feel bad, I never heard of them before either.

hmmm,i'll taste it,sounds delicious,and i will show you a brazilian recipe that is very famous around the world,its the "feijoada",hope you like it too:) FEIJOADA (Black beans and pork stew) The slaves in the colonial Brazil created the "Feijoada". They started cooking the pork meats that Farmland owners discarded such as ear, tails, feet in a big pot with black beans. This dish became traditional all over the country. Since then, the dish was incremented with pork sirloin and sausages that transformed the menu in a famous entrée that everybody who visit Brazil have to taste. The following recipe is an easy-to-do version of "Feijoada" made only with pork tenderloin and sausages. This recipe is preferred for busy people that don't want to handle the salted pork ears, tails and feet found in the complete "Feijoada". INGREDIENTS 1 lb of varied pork sausages (prefer smoked sausages) 1 lb of pork tenderloin some slices of bacon 1 can of black beans (15.5Oz) 2 tbs vegetable oil salt, garlic, chopped onions and bay leaves (bay leaves give a special taste to feijoada) PREPARE Feijoada is made with black beans and pork meats. You can use a can of beans already cooked or learn how to cook dried beans here. Add black beans to a medium-sized pot with 2 tbs oil, salt, garlic, chopped onions and about 6 bay leaves. Cook for about 15 minutes in med heat and set aside. In a separated panfry, cook cubes of pork tenderloin and slices of bacon with salt, garlic. Add all the sausages sliced and stir medium-heat until dry all the water. Add the cooked meat to the pan with the black beans and your feijoada is ready! Cook your feijoada more 10 minutes to meat soak in the black beans. You can add some pepper sauce to your feijoada at this point. Hint: to make the feijoada creamy, liquefy 1/2 cup of black beans in the blender and add to the feijoada. SERVE: Before serving the "Feijoada", you can serve a caipirinha as an appetizer. Feijoada is a main dish frequently served with white rice, collard greens and seasoned manioc flour (farofa). To follow the "Feijoada", we serve orange segments as a dessert. SERVING SIZE: 6 portions.
