Guest guest Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 Thank you for the recipe, GB. I wouldn't hold out much hope of getting whole dried chipotles here, although I could be wrong. Today I had supreme success and managed to find a Mexican spices kit and one of the spices was crushed chipotle chillies - YAY!! This way I can try cooking with them and see if I like the flavour, for a reasonable outlay. In terms of restaurants here in Edinburgh, the most popular types of ethnic cuisine are Italian, Indian and Chinese, then Thai. There are some other European reataurants - French, Spanish and a few Mexican and Tex/Mex restaurants. The Scottish diet used to be very healthy but at some point in the last century a love of carbohydrates, fried food and all things sweet took over and now we are probably best known for the deep fried mars bar (chocolate bar). People eat lots of pre-prepared food here and love to watch cooking programmes on the TV. Salsa and guacamole are popular here too in the supermarkets. Perhaps I am being a bit cynical and everyone is cooking up a storm but someone has to be buying all that chiller cabinet food.

If this doesn't work, I have other recipes but chose this since it is the easiest. > I was wondering how popular Mexican cooking is in Scotland. It is probably 2nd most popular ethic cuisine behind Italian. Recently, salsa became the biggest selling condiment overtaking ketchup. What kinds of things do people make in Scotland. I know they make some good pastries. > > Gb > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
