Feta Rosemary Dip

Another party pleaser!

This is one that Whole Foods sells, but my version is heavier on the cheese and lighter on the oil. Buy a block of Feta (the cheaper kinds will do) and crumble it. Then pour in a lot of olive oil—Whole Foods lets the feta swim in the oil, but I prefer to let the cheese dominate. Chop up two or three cloves of garlic and mix in. Then add rosemary (be generous). This is a delicious spread for baguette or hearty breads. Everyone loves it!

so good you can eat it with a spoon

You can accompany a spread like this with a bowl of green olives, finely diced, garlic, also finely diced, swimming in olive oil and with a bit of added salt. Also very tasty with bread and a great and easy party snack.

This Little Piggy Has Hair and Claws

Here at endless simmer, we have readers in 513 cities around the world, from Bangalore, India to Bangor, Maine (it’s true, Google told us!). We wanna make sure it doesn’t get too localized feeling here, so we’re asking for some updates from our ESers around the globe.

These pics come from our friend Maya, who just returned form Peru, where she feasted on this succulent roast guinea pig. As many of you may remember from third grade, GPs are not pork at all, but actually rodents.

Maya says the GP tastes just like chicken, if chicken had claws and hairs and was tough to chew on and actually pretty gross. And no, they are not stuffed, that is just the incredibly appetizing natural intestines. Thanks Maya!
